This might seem very reminiscent of tg to many people but so far the story has a different and more light-hearted tone than tokyo ghoul to me and even with the stories sharing similarities there are many ways to build upon this concept. Our two mcs, being the naive high schoolers they are, like playing the hero and get into a fight with such a Choujin, eventually leading to one of them being transformed into a Choujin. This world is inhabited by mankind and the so-called Choujin, posessing individual supernatural powers reminiscent of superheroes, except using it, as far as we know, mostly to cause evil. It's not easy to tell in which direction this will go but so far we have a pretty basic shounen-esque premise about two friends, one being very popular while the other one is the quiet type. I'm personally very excited to see Sui Ishida come out with something new again after having such a bad time with tokyo ghoul:re but, also being a fan of tg, I'll try not to be biased going into this very short review based on the first chapter. Mild spoilers for the first chapter in order to outline the premise But it seems that there are people out there that are angry at Tokio and Azuma's use of the Choujin drug, and they do not seem to want to stay quiet about it. In fear of being seen, Tokio must now figure out how to hide his new identity as a Choujin. While the dose seemingly has no physical effect on Azuma, Tokio grows a beak. Unable to flee from their foe, the duo injects themselves with a drug that can turn someone into a Choujin.

One day, when a previously defeated thug returns to exact revenge, the two are forced into a scuffle.

Choujins-supernatural beings with powers beyond mere mortals-are entities that Tokio and Azuma avoid at all costs. Yet, there are fights that even Azuma will not pick. In contrast to Tokio, Azuma is physically capable and rarely struggles against the common thugs the pair regularly encounter. However, despite his attitude at school, he works alongside his childhood friend Azuma Higashi to combat the brewing injustice in their town. EditSynopsis Second-year high schooler Tokio Kurohara likes to slack off in class.
