Tokio Kurohara has spent his whole life living in the shadow of his best friend, Azuma Higashi. While Azuma is the definition of a natural-born hero—talented, brave, and always standing up for what is right—Tokio is content just being the guy who tags along. But in a world where monstrous humans known as Choujin can turn a peaceful night into a blood-soaked nightmare, playing the sidekick is a dangerous game. When a confrontation with a mutant leaves them backed into a corner, Tokio makes a choice that changes his DNA forever. He takes the needle, he takes the risk, and he finally becomes a Choujin himself.

However, having god-like strength and a terrifying new form is not a superhero dream come true. Between dodging school authorities and keeping his transformation hidden from his family, Tokio realizes that being a superhuman is a chaotic, visceral mess. Strange and increasingly dangerous incidents are cropping up all over town, and as the psychological weight of his new life starts to press down, the line between hero and monster begins to blur. This is a raw, stylish, and unpredictable ride through a world where power comes at a devastating cost. If you are looking for a story where the action is fast, the stakes are deeply personal, and the art is breathtakingly experimental, you cannot miss this series. Dive into the madness and see what happens when the follower finally has to lead.
