Metelsky Nikolay – Changing the masks

The story is set in an alternate version of Japan. The protagonist finds himself in the body of a local child, but he is not an ordinary person himself. In his own world, he had extraordinary paranormal abilities. However, in this new world, he is forced to hide his true potential, which far exceeds that of a teenager. He has to develop his abilities in secret while attending an elite school.

In addition to his studies, he forms his own underground organization with the goal of achieving something significant in the future. The plot delves into political intrigue and complex relationships among various local clans. Despite the protagonist's Slavic origin, Japanese culture and traditions play a significant role in the story.

Fans of Japanese anime will find this story to be a must-read. However, even for non-anime fans, the plot is logically explained and follows traditional conventions. The story includes elements such as the protagonist going to school, leading a double life, and having a romantic entanglement with multiple characters.

The main character with superpowers, which however do not make him invincible

A well-developed world (even one and a half, considering that the hero is from an alternative future)

Overall consistency in plot development

A large amount of Japanese culture and traditions

The quintessence of stories about an Ordinary Japanese Schoolboy, although in general without any logical inconsistencies

Still, taking into account the need to go to school, communicate with neighbors and develop his abilities, the hero should have had little time left for everything else
