Hitorijime My Hero (Japanese: ひとりじめマイヒーロー, Hepburn: Hitoriji me Maihīrō), also known as My Very Own Hero, is a Japanese yaoi[2] manga series written and illustrated by Memeco Arii about the romances between a teacher and his student, and the teacher's younger brother with his childhood friend. It has been serialized in Ichijinsha's Gateau since February 2012. An anime television series adaptation produced by Encourage Films aired from July 8, 2017, to September 23, 2017, and is licensed in English by Sentai Filmworks.[3]

Masahiro Setagawa has stopped believing in heroes as he believes that heroes do not truly exist, especially since he has been getting into a lot of trouble. He's been coerced into joining a gang and is often bullied and used as a gopher boy. However, soon an infamous street fighter named Kousuke Ooshiba, or the "Bear Killer" inadvertently saves him. This man happens to be the older brother of his best friend Kensuke Ooshiba and his current homeroom teacher. Now Kousuke has claimed Masahiro as his "underling" and promises to protect him, but the feelings seem to run far deeper for both. Meanwhile, Kensuke is reunited with an old friend Asaya Hasekura, a popular pretty boy who declares his love for Kensuke and leaves Kensuke confused and unsure.

Voiced by: Toshiki Masuda[4] (Japanese); Austin Tindle[5] (English)
A weakling delinquent who used to be searching for a place to belong to. He is very adept at cooking and housework because his mother doesn't really care about doing much. He likes small animals and seems to be well-informed about them.[6] Despite having the same family name (as the two are brothers), he still calls Kensuke by the name of Ooshiba even when around Kosusuke. He has dyed blond hair whose original color is bright orange.
Kousuke Ooshiba (大柴康介, Ōshiba Kōsuke)
Voiced by: Tomoaki Maeno[4] (Japanese); David Matranga[5] (English)
A high school teacher who teaches mathematics. He is feared by local delinquents and nicknamed the "Bear Killer" (熊殺し, Kuma-goroshi).[7] He is very affectionate and often meddles with Masahiro's life.
Kensuke Ooshiba (大柴健介, Ōshiba Kensuke)
Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka[4] (Japanese); Alejandro Saab[5] (English)
Kousuke's younger brother and Masahiro's best friend since junior high school. He often invites his friends to play and eat at the Ooshiba's house.
