The High School Heroes (ザ・ハイスクール ヒーローズ, Za Haisukūru Hīrōzu) is a tokusatsu mini-drama produced by J Storm Inc. and Toei, and broadcast by TV Asahi in 2021.

Production

Starring members of Bishonen, this show written by Yuya Takahashi revolves around a Gorenger otaku who gathers together schoolmates (a basketball player, an ace baseball player, the most popular kid in school, the dance team captain, and an artist) to combat the evil "Mazin" (Demons) that are taking over people.

Also appearing will be none other than Akarenger, as one of our main characters shares a certain "fate" with the Gorenger team, and he will appear to encourage him at times. The starring singing group will of course sing the theme song.
