Goodreads Synopsis:
Not everyone needs a license to fight for justice!
In a superpowered society, there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore. Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public against supervillains, stand above all the rest. Not everyone can be a hero, however, and there are those who would use their powers to serve the people without legal sanction. But do they fight for justice in the shadows, or for reasons known only to themselves? Whatever they fight for, they are called...vigilantes.
Disaster at the Marukane department store's grand reopening was averted thanks to the efforts of Koichi, Pop Step and their band of low-end idols. But a greater calamity was prevented by the clash between Knuckleduster and his own wayward daughter, Tamao, who was possessed by the villainous Kuin Hachisuka! In the end, Knuckleduster nearly had to kill Tamao to free her from the evil entity controlling her. Now that he has achieved his goal and saved his daughter, is Knuckleduster through with his life as a vigilante?

Review:
Since the old man has pretty much taken himself out of the picture,
that leaves Koichi and Pop to themselves. Supposedly this means
Koichi will be forced to take a more lead role, but I don't see that
happening at this point.
For most of this volume, Pop and Koichi are off at a mascot event out
of town. During this innocuous event, there's some drug smuggling in
which undercover cops and heroes are helping out with. Pop and Koichi
miss most of this, though they do get caught in the wreckage.
This was a fun volume. It's always neat to see the heroes from the
main series show up here, and how it might connect. There wasn't much
plot progression, but it was still fun.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
