MSG Man chronicles the life of an ordinary young Japanese man by the name of Keiichi Sadamoto. He has always been a quiet, and timid young man who is supportive of his best friend, Eiji Hanabusa. When a fateful event grants Eiji his new identity as Mecha Man, along with his increasing affection for his highschool crush, Etsuko Ashida, Keiichi decides to don a superhero identity of his own - MSG Man!

Powered by nothing but confidence brought on by an unnatural high from the monosodium glutamate in the noodles that he loves so much, MSG Man fights against overwhelming odds to protect his friends and the girl he loves, ignoring the fact that his efforts go ignored by the public...

It all started in 2003 from a random idea I had while shivering on a cold, Tokyo night. MSG Man is an 'underdog' story woven into a superhero comic styled tale, and is slightly based off my own obsession with instant noodles.
