This shit is freaky and amazing, definitely the next best new gen pokemon adventure for sure. I'm also already loving the chemistry between Tokio and Azuma and the art/paneling is crazy.

This was a pretty decent start, sometimes I had to look well into the image to understand what exactly was going on, but ye, solid start, and looking forward to more.

What are your thoughts on it?

Yes their chemistry is a nice thing to see. Wonder what they will do with the rest of the manga, concept is nice.

That was a really interesting start. The characters are very likeable, and the powers seem quite interesting. I'm very excited for this manga. This is definitely a series I'm looking forward to.

Pretty interesting start, feels like this'll be brutal ride. Also Tokio Kurohara choujin design looks cool. That said good to have Sui Ishida back.

Really felt bad for the girl in the beginning :(

Azuma and Tokio's friendship looks amazing, it has the same potential as Hide and Kaneki's and I hope it will be central to the story.

Tokio's bestian choujin looks lit. The action was at some points kinda hard to follow but I expected that.

Very solid first chapter, I'm really excited for Ishida's comeback!

Art was messy. Had a hard time figuring out what was happening in some action scenes, granted I’ve never read Tokyo Ghoul’s manga.
Anyways, TG’s vibes were there, hopefully it doesn’t go down the same path

So, the protag basically becomes what he's fighting. Like how in Tokyo Ghoul Kaneki becomes a ghoul. Tokio here becomes a choujin. Hmmm. 8/10 for now, the art looks sick.
Everyone has times when they've come up against a wall and feel like giving up on everything and running away. But you mustn't forget that during these times when the going is rough, the soul inside of you will try to create something to break through that wall. And don't forget that in your suffering there is something very precious. We're all suffering in agony with our troublesome lives. Sometimes it comes to tears. When that happens, let it flow as much as it wants. If it still doesn't stop flowing, then we'll come and mop it up. - Gintoki

btw, does anyone know if this is a weekly or a monthly series?

Gorgeous art, but left me with more questions than answers. I'm not invested in the world just yet. While I'm sure they'll be answered in later chapters, this is a bizarre set up for a story. It chose to focus more on the relationship between the main duo, and less on the world that the story takes place in, which left the battle at the end of the chapter feeling... a little underwhelming, despite the incredible art.

What are Choujins? We've seen how they affect the environment, but not society at large. This is a question that should have been answered in this chapter, not in later chapters. It creates a disconnect and left me thinking, 'huh, wait, what does any of this mean? Is it just Tokyo Ghoul again, where it'll all be an allegory for discrimination? What do other people think about Choujins? Why should we, the reader, care? What even are they, what do they do?'

Other than that, decent first chapter. I'm curious to see more.

No way that girl isn't alive, she's totally an important Character and probably the reason why 200 passengers made it alive

Amazing art as a expected from Sui Ishida, good to have him back

I can't believe that it's finally happening. After a long wait, we're finally getting a new piece of work from Sui Ishida. This first chapter was definitely interesting, the characters are very precious already. I'm definitely looking forward to this!

The only thing that I want to ask though is: has his art style changed a little? Idk why but it gives me MHA vibes lol. Nevertheless, it's still very nice on the eyes even if it feels a bit different to TG, but that maybe that just me.

I mean original creators don't get a substantial amount of money from an anime adaptation, that all goes to the members of the production committee. The extra eyes on the series would be nice but he already has a good following as the author of Tokyo Ghoul

I loved this first chapter! Very interesting take on the super-hero genre. Ishida-sama won’t disappoint us, and I’m sure we’ll see some internal conflict inside of Tokio soon enough. Can’t wait for Chapter 2!

Story dumb.. art good. Characters meh. Need more clarification and depth about the world. Now this is a Shuesha manga.. so they wanted author to pack as much in the first chapter. Due to which it was more action... very less character building and emotion. I don't like Shuesha jump stuff and they mostly want author to do immature stuff. Give Author more freedom to choose.

Man I missed Ishida so much. Seeing his art style again just brings a smile to my face

Other than that, the concept behind this series seems interesting enough....These Choujin are artificially created so I'm curious to learn more about them as well as exactly what all they can do

The two MC's are pretty nice and have a good dynamic with each other so hopefully if the short one survived, we'll get to see some cool stuff between them both

Also, why the hell are people making reviews on ONE CHAPTER lol

Looks like it has potential even if it doesn't have the same hook as TG ch 1. Gonna have to wait for more to make any sort of judgement. Hopefully it'll take itself a little more seriously than this chapter did going forward.

never seen or read Tokyo Ghoul but this looks good so far

both of best friends become a Choujin eh to fight other Choujins

Choujin or Chojin means superman or decay according to google so this is gonna be interesting

that Azuma best friend of the main character is too pure justice oriented so he might join the dark side later on and become Darth Vader of this manga

best friends are your worst enemies

------------------------------------------------------

The new manga series by "Tokyo Ghoul" creator Sui Ishida "Choujin X" will only have an irregular release schedule when Ishida has the time, it is published on the Tonari no Young Jump web service in japanese & on Manga Plus in english starting today https://twitter.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1391761810399932418

Tonari no Young Jump is where One Punch Man manga is release too i guess that website allows for irregular release schedules and that is great for the health of the manga authors

The GOAT blesses us with his great art as usual!

I'm liking this so far but I have several questions, like what exactly are choujins? But, this is only the first chapter, so I'm sure my questions will be answered as the manga progresses. I'm excited to see where the story goes from here!
