Akira Shinjuku isn't your average teenager living in 1987 Japan. The world's greatest paranormal investigator working for the Bureau of Paranormal Extermination, he wields a divine superpower called a Rock Move, with his Rock Move, Footloose, being the strongest of them all. Aided by his doom-and-gloom girlfriend Amanda Valentine, his edgy-as-blades rival Rei Higashikata, his video game and cartoon-obsessed alien best friend Josefumi Jirou, a gambling-addicted stoner German witch named Maria Elric, and guided by his arrogant, food-obsessed, wisecracking mentor Madame Nightmare, Akira is looking to avenge his father's death at the hands of Bruno, a mysterious hitman wearing a cartoonish dog mask. Fulfilling his destiny won't be easy, as devils, freaks, scary monsters, and super creeps hinder his way. But with his trusty escrima sticks and his team, he can do anything. Manners. Maketh. Man. This is Silent November.

Yesterday was July 1st, and if you've read Silent November, you'll know that's Akira's birthday. Happy late birthday to Akira Shinjuku, aka No. 1, code name The Freak!
