High schooler Tokio Kurohara may be a slacker in the classroom, but on the streets, he serves as a vigilante alongside his talented childhood friend Azuma Higashi, though both live in the shadow of the terrifying, superpowered beings known as Choujins. Their world is upended when a cornered confrontation with a vengeful enemy forces them to inject a dangerous drug intended to unlock Choujin abilities. The transformation proves tragically uneven: Azuma appears unchanged, while Tokio suffers a grotesque metamorphosis, gaining an avian beak and newfound powers. Now, Tokio is forced into a life of secrecy and isolation, all while he and Azuma are hunted by shadowy factions who view their forced evolution as a crime that must be punished with death.
