If you enjoyed the monster designs of Chainsaw Man’s devils and have an affinity for Tokyo Ghoul’s story writing, you’d be wise to check out Choujin X. Created by Sui Ishida, it follows a hapless high schooler named Tokio Kurohara as he and his best friend Azuma Higashi are forced into a supernatural society where half-human, half-demons named Choujin rule.
Similarly to ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul, Choujin are powerful beings with metaphysical powers who struggle to survive at the bottom rung of society.
Were this manga in different hands, Azuma, with his traditionally heroic qualities, would be the main character.
Instead of being fearless and headstrong like his childhood friend, Tokio is a bit of a wuss who wants nothing more than to avoid conflict.
