For instance, the book analyzes the force required to shatter a boulder, questioning if the human body could generate and withstand such power. The book uses physics and biology to analyze manga scenarios, referencing established scientific literature and real-world examples of elite athletes. Principles such as force, momentum, and energy transfer are applied to common manga scenes.
Beginning with fundamental concepts, the book progresses through biomechanics, physiological limits, and genetic/technological enhancements before assessing the plausibility of superhuman abilities. This approach provides science enthusiasts and manga fans a unique perspective, grounding fantastical ideas in scientific reality.
The book's value lies in its accessible presentation of complex concepts, balancing scientific rigor with readability. It encourages a critical yet appreciative view of fictional narratives, using them as a springboard for scientific exploration and innovation.
