Choujin X, Vol. 5

Dark humor and quirky horror unite in this tale of clashing heroes and monsters from the creator of Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul: re!

Best friends Tokio and Azuma do everything together, even if most of the time it feels like Tokio is just stumbling along in Azuma’s cooler, more talented footsteps. But when they’re attacked one night by a superhuman mutant called a choujin, Tokio finally has a chance to shine—by turning into a choujin himself!

Tokio, Ely, and Azuma might be on a tropical island, but it’s about as far from a vacation as you can get. They’re there to undergo all kinds of intense training from the keepers of Yamato Mori to improve their choujin skills. Before they can make much headway, renegade choujin crash their training and try to kidnap one of the three for their mysterious boss! While their teachers bear the brunt of the attack, can Tokio and his friends protect themselves when they can’t even control their powers yet?
