Titan Manga describes the main synopsis of the first volume as:
When mild-mannered office worker Tojima Jr. decides he’s destined to become a real Kamen Rider – despite having no powers, no motorcycle, and no clue – he sets off on a chaotic quest that collides everyday absurdity with over-the-top tokusatsu action. From battling malfunctioning monster suits to surviving his company’s soul-crushing meetings, Tojima’s fight for justice becomes the funniest struggle of them all: growing up without giving up your dreams.
Titan Manga first announced the license acquisition of the manga for English release in December 2025.
Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider inspired a 24-episode TV anime adaptation from LIDENFILMS that was released from October 2025 to March 2026. It was streamed on Crunchyroll in select countries and territories worldwide.
Pre-orders for the first volume are now available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Forbidden Planet for the UK & Europe.
