Titan Manga has unveiled an exclusive preview of the upcoming second volume of the action manga series Villain Actor. Volume two is scheduled to be released on March 31, 2026.
The manga was written by Mikumo Seto, with the artwork done by Kentaro Harada. It was serialized in Coamix’s Monthly Comic Zenon magazine from July 25, 2022 to August 25, 2023. Three total tankobon volumes were published in Japan.
Titan Manga describes the second volume of Villain Actor as:
Ayumu Mashiro, once resigned to life as an ordinary police officer, now wields the terrifying power of Zero – the most feared villain in history. A mysterious voice guides his every move as he uncovers the unsettling truth: the heroes aren’t who they seem. In the explosive conclusion of Volume 1, Ayumu becomes Public Enemy No. 1, hunted relentlessly by the world’s vaunted heroes.
Volume 2 picks up with Ayumu on the run – his reputation in ruins, powers beyond comprehension, and the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Think The Boys ripped into a manga format: grounded, gritty, and unafraid to expose the shadows behind the capes. Remember, wielding the powers of a villain, doesn’t mean you can’t be a hero.
