Lovers become enemies as distrust blossoms in the wake of kaijuu attacks in UUUltraC, a romantic yaoi visual novel now available on MangaGamer and Steam.
UUUltraC takes place in 1970s Japan, in the wake of kaiju attacks. The sudden appearance of giant monsters has shaken everybody’s lives, creating a new divide among the populace. Those who come in contact with the blood of kaiju are at risk of changing into monsters themselves. Shoutarou Kagome is a young man fighting for the rights of these victims, who himself ends up soaked by kaiju blood early on in the story, putting himself and Akira, his secretive boyfriend, in danger. With heroes out there hunting both kaiju and those infected by them, what will become of the pair?
MangaGamer advertises UUUltraC as an avant-garde tokusatsu drama filled with relics of the Showa Era, containing kaiju, superheroes, and giant robots. This combination of elements comes courtesy of ADELTA, known for their previous boy’s love visual novel, Hashihime of the Old Book Town.
Shoutarou Kagome
He is an ordinary citizen and a champion for justice. He’s level-headed, strong, and will listen to all sides of a story. It doesn’t show on his face, but there’s always a lot on his mind. It’s his dream to become an action hero actor that children can look up to.
Under the weight of his mysterious boyfriend, his family’s infamous legacy, and his former best friend that has joined an evil organization, he fears nothing will become of his life, despite his role as a main character. His sense of justice is turned upside down in chapter one when he’s soaked in kaiju blood.
Akira Kozuka
There’s always a pay envelope inside his haramaki. He’s head over heels for Shoutarou, to the extent that he had the pattern from Shoutarou’s pajamas tattooed on his left arm, as a sort of promise to never cheat. He’s a little scary. Plus, he’s always disappearing whenever the hero siren goes off.He may seem like an honest and friendly young man, but he’s actually full of mystery. And wait, what?! He’s involved in a kidnapping in chapter one?! He works as a manga artist and his dream is to be a homeowner. He’s full of secrets, but his love for Shoutarou is the real deal.
Shirou Choutsugai
His family was attacked by a kaiju, and so he resents both superheroes and kaiju alike. He’s an elite photographer, and a graduate from Tokyo University’s law school, holding the qualifications to become a lawyer. But don’t be fooled... He loves profitable gossip because he can use it to blackmail people.
The only person he’s ever loved was a beautiful young girl he met when he was little, named ”Belle.” He’s a bigot, but constantly attracts shady beauties and perverted kaiju, landing him in immoral and adult situations.
He’s the main character of chapter two. There, you can dive into a world filled with bizarre mystery alongside Choutsugai.
Suzu Isshiki
A non-binary man, and a reserved kaiju. There’s an endless desire exuding from his eyes. He seems to know Choutsugai from his time as a child actor... yes, this is ”Belle”. Having mistaken him for a girl when he was a child, Choutsugai has been saving himself for her all this time.
He crossed paths with Choutsugai again during a mysterious case and was able to get close to him, but...
He’s pulling the strings from the shadows as the fake white Icarus, but his motives are unknown. He’s 6’4” in heels?! That’s just obscene!
Juurou Sayashi
He’s a famous actor, often referred to as a national treasure. He took over the role of the TV superhero Sun Mask Icarus from his father. He was easily able to brush off that heavy responsibility, stealing the hearts of the nation with his acting skills. He’s the object of everyone’s affections, and they all see him as the picture of steadfast righteousness. However, his true motives seem to lie elsewhere.
He’s the main character in chapter three, ”Team of Superheroes.” Being an actor is just a front. He’s actually the leader of the ”Icarus Rangers,” but... who is this protector of the people really trying to protect? Can your heart handle Juurou Sayashi’s loneliness?
Yomi Hibarino
He’s a mysterious young man that’s polite even toward plants. He sticks close to his childhood friend, Juurou Sayashi, and gently alleviates the stress the latter builds up from show business and superhero activities. He’s a member of the Icarus Rangers, but he can’t transform into Icarus and mainly contributes at their command center.
...Well, even though he sounds dependable, he has an easy-going personality and will take any chance he gets to nap. That was how his prisoner ended up escaping. Unbelievable... In regards to his strange uniform, ”Once I’m attached to something, I have a hard time letting it go.” How profound.
