  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

"Who is The Impossible Man?"
—Yuki Shimizu

The Impossible Man, written by H-M Brown, is a Science Fiction Comedy, Web Original Novel.

It follows the story of Michael Garcia, who is nicknamed The Impossible Man, and owns a store called The Impossible Man's Anime and Manga Shop, set in the fictional Denfair City, New Jersey. He has a special ability that no one can truely explain nor comprehend. By using that power in his store one day, he attracted many new customers around the world, and a set of unwanted problems.

The story starts off with Michael Garcia's store already established and finds himself receiving a new employee hired by his mother, without his knowledge. From there on, new problems fall on Michael's lap, on top of the problems he already had since his store's rise to popularity.

The Impossible Man has self contained Chapters, or Episodes as the author labels it, that explores a specific aspect of Pop Culture from the United States, Japan, and Latin America, and turns it on its head, from a Comedy Anime perspective.

As the story warns, The Impossible Man is not for the logic minded and the common sense.

Not to be confused with this Superhero team's Arch Enemy of the same name.
