Sui Ishida - Choujin X Manga

In a world where superpowered beings known as Choujin can reshape reality, society lives in constant fear of unpredictable destruction. High-schooler Tokio Kurohara is quiet, anxious, and accustomed to living in the shadow of his effortlessly charismatic friend Azuma Higashi—an ideal hero in every way Tokio is not.

When the two are caught in a life-or-death attack by a rogue Choujin, they face an impossible choice: die, or inject an illegal Choujin serum. Tokio takes the leap—and becomes a beast-like hybrid with unstable powers that challenge his sense of identity, morality, and humanity.

As Tokio enters a dangerous new world of mutated powers, underground syndicates, and bizarre Choujin experiments, he is forced to grow stronger not just physically, but emotionally. Meanwhile, Azuma faces his own transformation in spirit, ambition, and responsibility.

Choujin X blends surreal fantasy, body horror, emotional introspection, and Ishida’s signature tragic beauty, creating a dark, expressive saga of self-discovery in a broken world.

Sui Ishida is best known as the creator of Tokyo Ghoul, one of the most influential dark fantasy series of the 2010s.
