Dark humor and quirky horror combine 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 are attacked one night by a superhuman mutant called a choujin, Tokio finally has a chance to shine—by turning into a choujin himself! Being a superpowered creature isn't all it's cracked up to be, though. Tokio has to hide his transformation from his family and dodge a truancy charge at school, all while dealing with the increasingly odd incidents happening around town!

Tokio and Azuma are best friends who do everything together, despite Tokio often feeling like he is lagging behind Azuma's cooler and more talented footsteps. However, their friendship is put to the test when they are attacked one night by a superhuman mutant known as a choujin. Tokio seizes the opportunity to shine by transforming into a choujin himself. While being a superpowered creature brings its own set of challenges, Tokio must keep his transformation hidden from his family and avoid being charged with truancy at school. Additionally, he must navigate the increasingly strange incidents occurring around town.

As Tokio struggles to adapt to his new abilities, he begins to notice strange occurrences around town. People are behaving strangely, and animals are exhibiting unusual behavior. He soon realizes that the choujin attack was not an isolated incident, but rather the beginning of a larger threat. Tokio and Azuma must join forces to uncover the truth behind the choujin menace and prevent it from causing further harm.

Their investigation leads them to a mysterious organization that is responsible for creating and controlling choujin. They discover that the organization has been using the choujin as a weapon to gain power and control over the people of their town. Tokio and Azuma must confront the organization's leader and put an end to their evil plans.

In the end, Tokio and Azuma emerge victorious, and the town is safe once again. Tokio has learned the importance of friendship, teamwork, and standing up against injustice. He has also discovered that being a superpowered creature comes with its own set of responsibilities, and he is determined to use his abilities to help others and make the world a better place.
