Synopsis

Second-year high school student Tokio Kurohara likes to slack off in class. However, despite his attitude at school, he works alongside his childhood friend Azuma Higashi to combat the brewing injustice in their town. In contrast to Tokio, Azuma is physically capable and rarely struggles against the common thugs the pair regularly encounter.

Yet, there are fights that even Azuma will not pick. Choujins—supernatural beings with powers beyond mere mortals—are entities that Tokio and Azuma avoid at all costs. One day, when a previously defeated thug returns to exact revenge, the two are forced into a scuffle. Unable to flee from their foe, the duo injects themselves with a drug that can turn someone into a Choujin.

While the dose seemingly has no physical effect on Azuma, Tokio grows a beak. In fear of being seen, Tokio must now figure out how to hide his new identity as a Choujin. But it seems that there are people out there who are angry at Tokio and Azuma's use of the Choujin drug, and they do not seem to want to stay quiet about it.

Preliminary (43/? eps)
Small spoilers regarding a scene in chapter 35.

After two and a half years of publication and 43 chapters, Choujin X has become one of my favorite ongoing manga, and is tracking to be Ishida's greatest work yet. Masterfully executed from head to toe, it's a work clearly borne out of genuine passion from an experienced and incredibly skilled author.

The story revolves around Tokio, an unmotivated kid who comfortably exists in the shadow of his talented best friend, Azuma. This all changes when circumstances result in Tokio becoming a choujin, a special being that manifests powers borne out of an individual's own insecurities and ...

Preliminary (1/? eps)
Finally, after three years, I have my cats on one side, my coffee on the other, and a new Ishida Sui manga, this is heaven to me, this is what heaven feels like, or maybe... hell? Who knows...


This is one my first reviews and probably some will say I’m being biased, but this story seems very promising for now, actually, speaking of Ishida’s previus work, which is my favourite anime and manga, he got really stressed at the end and quite depressed actually so yeah, maybe Tokyo Ghoul ended abruptly for some because of this reason, but this time maybe if he takes his ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (1/? eps)
This is going to be a short review since only the first chapter has come out.

So far from the first chapter, the pacing of this manga is incredibly fast. The amount of beats (as in plot points) plus the amount of time between each beat makes it feel very rushed. And because of that, there's not enough time given to each significant plot point. If you stop and look at the amount of stuff that happened in this chapter and the time difference between each point of where they gave important information, you'll see what I mean.

I can't really say anything about the story yet ...
