1A bizarre ZombieApocalypse story set in Japan during the end of the world as we know it, ''Manga/IAmAHero'' can leave you feeling deeply unnerved [[{{Squick}} or a little ill]] at times.

6* The first zombie that Hideo sees, a woman hit by a car, walks away from the accident with her spine badly broken. She looks like she's been folded in half by the impact.
7* Zombified Tetsuko is shown in full color on several pages, her TaintedVeins and terrifying eyes standing out against her pale skin. The fact that she was on her period and is now dressed in her underwear and doing a jerky upside-down crawl really doesn't help matters.
8* The UndeadChild seen eating what appears to be its mother's flesh, still calling out for her, as Hideo flees Nerima is a mixture between this and a TearJerker.
9* The appearance of some of the ZQN. This entire page could be filled just with descriptions of the more hideous zombies, but special mention goes to the cook with splinters of wood sticking out of his eyes, the pregnant zombie dragged along by her half-born baby after her head is blown off, and the zombies who reflect the beginning stages of FleshGolem construction, looking like two or more people just smashed together.
10* The fate that a young girl In Pisa, Italy nearly suffers. The orchestrators of the ZombieApocalypse need human women as "queens" to birth their offspring, and she would have been one of them had she not been rescued.
11* The zombie babies at Mt. Fuji are absolutely terrifying to look at. Unlike other zombies, they relatively don't make any sound whenever they approach their target and can move [[FasterThanTheyLook surprisingly fast]] despite their small statures. Because of these [[SarcasmMode adorable]] qualities, they end up zombifying everyone at the Mt. Fuji shrine Hideo and Hiromi visited and also Hiromi and Oda later.
12* Iura's death. While it's just absurd enough to be funny in a way, it's also terrifying. He's half aware of what's happening, but delirious enough to rip off his own penis while very aggressively masturbating.
13* The Hives, enormous monstrosities made up of thousands of ZQN stuck together in a way that stretches the FleshGolem trope to its limit.
14* A low-key example, but when Hiromi points Hideo's shotgun at Oda in subconscious anger and jealousy, the combination of her actions and expression work together to let you know that something is still ''deeply'' wrong with her.
