Posted on by Lesley Aeschliman

Seven Seas Entertainment has announced that it has licensed Ryoma Kitada’s SUPER HXEROS manga, known in Japan as Dokyuu Hentai HxEros. The first volume of the series is scheduled to be released in February 2021.

Seven Seas describes the manga as:

When the mantis-like aliens known as Kiseichuu descend on Earth, they have one goal: eradicate the human race. They do so by absorbing humans’ H-energy–the sexual passion that fuels so many people and keeps the species reproducing! The government has assembled an elite team of superheroes to fight the bugs, aided by technology that allows them to transfer their erotic energy into super powers.

High schooler Retto Enjo is recruited onto the team, partnering with four beautiful girls, one of whom is his childhood friend Kirara Hoshino. Though they were once close, they’ve grown apart in recent years, since Kirara turned distant and aloof after an encounter with the Kiseichuu in her youth. Can Retto save the world, keep his team together, and maybe even melt his childhood friend’s newly cold exterior?
