Synopsis

Fifteen years later, Charlie's human foster parents are finally ready to send him to a normal high school, where he makes his first friend: a human girl named Lucy. In the meantime, however, the ALA's stance has become ever more extreme, and now they're here to drag Charlie into their terrorist plot...

what do I mean? well, Darwin Jihen is set in America and features an American cast, does this make it an American manga? no. What makes it American is the writing and themes.
(he's a few examples to save me and you time)

Darwin Jihen covers American politics really well with the lingering confederacy, School shootings, red pills and politics live steamers, Ben Shapero teens citing "facts" without understanding them, liberal types wondering if they're using the correct terminology in real-time (portrayed as a form of politeness rather than a joke), only in America could an "activist" ...

JUNE 2023 EDIT: The version of Darwin I read was a truly horrendous MTL (as someone in the forums put it, it's borderline unreadable).
