Birdmen (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yellow Tanabe. It was serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday from July 2013 to February 2020, with its chapters collected in sixteen tankōbon volumes.

Plot

Eishi Karasuma (烏丸 英司, Karasuma Eishi), a disaffected and apathetic middle school student, leads an unremarkable life despite his inner frustrations. One day, he and his childhood friend Mikisada Kamoda (鴨田 樹真, Kamoda Mikisada), classmate Rei Sagisawa (鷺沢 怜, Sagisawa Rei), and her friend Tsubame Umino (海野 つばめ, Umino Tsubame) are involved in a bus accident. In his fading consciousness, Eishi glimpses a mysterious, crow-like humanoid with black wings. Though they should have died from severe blood loss, the group inexplicably survives with only minor injuries—only to discover they have gained the unnatural ability to grow wings from their backs. Thrust into an extraordinary existence as "Birdmen", Eishi and the others find their ordinary lives upended as they grapple with their newfound powers and the unseen forces now shaping their destinies.

Publication

Written and illustrated by Yellow Tanabe, Birdmen started in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday on July 17, 2013.[2] The series went on hiatus from August to November of the same year.
