  Summary

  Shinsou Hitoshi grew up always being told he was destined to be a villain, and everyone knows a villain can't be a hero.

  So he couldn't really be a hero, that's fine. He'd be as close to a hero as a villain could be.

  OR

  Shinsou becomes a vigilante and is surprisingly good at it.
