Hood

Hood (styalized in all capitals as HOOD) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by a manga artist under the alias Shima. The series was serialized in Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ online magazine on a semi weekly basis from October 2018 to February 2024 for a total of 16 tankōbon volumes. The series is licensed in English by Viz Media, who also own merchandising rights in most of the west. Anime studio MAPPA also worked on an anime adaption of the manga, running from October 2022 to December 2025 for a total of two seasons.

The series follows the exploits of an androgynous boy named Neon Sagami, who is a prodigy when it comes to street fights and combat, as he attempts to defend his disabled sister from bullies but ends up getting himself wrapped up in gang activities such as drug deals, gang fights, kidnapping, human trafficking, and even murder. Along the way, Neon slowly learns what the evils of the world really look like and struggles with the moral question of whether or not it's okay to be evil in order to fight evil.
