Fans of Uglymug and Epicfighter received unexpected news: the sequel manga Busa‑Men Gachi Fighter SSS is set to wrap up with its second compiled volume, hitting shelves this October. This marks a notably short chapter in the expanding isekai saga.
Story Synopsis:
Busa-Men Gachi Fighter SSS picks up where Uglymug, Epicfighter left off—following the absurdly powerful yet grotesquely ugly Shigeru Yoshioka as he navigates fantastical realms with self-imposed disadvantages. The new series continues exploring themes of power imbalance, comedic misfortune, and game-like world logic. While details remain sparse, the speedy conclusion signals a brief but punchy extension to the original story’s comedic adventure.
The series began serialization in Monthly Big Gangan on December 25, 2024. The first volume of SSS was released in June 2025. According to an announcement, the sequel will conclude with its second volume, scheduled for release in October.
Character Summaries:
- Shigeru Yoshioka (Busa‑Men): Once a disgraced salesman, Shigeru intentionally sacrificed his looks to become overwhelming in strength—reborn as an “Absolute God” in another world. His journey continues in SSS, blending self-inflicted misfortune with comedic heroics.
- Supporting Characters: Though not detailed in recent announcements, expect familiar faces from the original series and new additions reflecting the typical zany cast found in isekai spin‑offs.
Bonus Section – Did You Know?
- The original manga, Uglymug, Epicfighter, ran from November 2017 to December 2020 and was compiled into six volumes.
