Ever feel like you are just a background character in your best friend’s life? That is Tokio Kurohara’s daily reality next to the effortlessly heroic and talented Azuma Higashi. But when a nightmarish encounter with a mutated superhuman—a choujin—leaves them cornered, Tokio takes a chaotic leap of faith. By injecting himself with the serum, he transforms into a beastly choujin himself to save his friend.

But gaining god-like power is not the power trip he expected. It is a cursed, exhausting nightmare. Now, Tokio is forced to navigate a double life, hiding his monstrous new form from his family, dodging truancy officers, and getting swept up in the increasingly bizarre and dangerous supernatural incidents plaguing the city.

Brought to life with jaw-dropping, chaotic art and a deep psychological edge, Choujin X is a wild ride that completely subverts the classic superhero narrative. It is raw, unpredictable, and packed with high-octane action. Because of its irregular release schedule on Tonari no Young Jump, each new chapter is a massive, highly-anticipated event that you do not want to miss. Get ready to lose yourself in this twisted, masterfully told dark fantasy.
