''Rooster Fighter'' is an action comedy manga by Shu Sakuratani, published on Hero's Inc.'s Comiplex website since December 2020 and later localized by Creator/VizMedia.

Three years ago, mysterious giant demons called Kijuu have started to rampage throughout Japan. The only one who can fight them is a comically strong and hard-boiled rooster named Keiji who seeks revenge on them. Along the way, he meets other animals who are just as brutal and intelligent.
