Choujin X (Japanese: 超人X, Hepburn: Chōjin Ekkusu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sui Ishida. It has been irregularly serialized on Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump website since May 2021 and in Weekly Young Jump from October 2021 to February 2022.

Synopsis

[edit]

Azuma Higashi (東 アズマ, Higashi Azuma) has great fighting skills as well as a strong sense of justice, and also always gets good grades in his class. His friend Tokio Kurohara (黒原 トキオ, Kurohara Tokio) is the complete opposite of Azuma: he does not listen in class, and is a bystander when Azuma fights. Different as they might be, their bond is very strong nevertheless. They live in Yamato Prefecture, where the district has almost been destroyed by Choujin, humans with supernatural abilities. When the two are returning home, they encounter a Choujin who threatens to kill them. With no other way of escaping, the two decided to become Choujin themselves. The story centers around their adventures and struggles as they try to navigate the chaotic and often dangerous life of a Choujin.
