Super Psychic Policeman Chojo, Vol. 1

A psychic cop and his rookie partner tackle neighborhood crimes in their own wonky way!

Psychic investigators don’t normally use their powers to lie, cheat, and get ahead. But super psychic policeman Meguru Chojo does! Relegated to a run-down police station and hated by the entire neighborhood, Chojo gets into all sorts of shenanigans, goofs, and gaffes with his rookie partner, Nao Ippongi. Together, they turn the police force into a farce.

On her first day at the West Chinjuku Police Station, Ippongi realizes she got the short end of the stick: Her new partner, Chojo, uses his psychic powers to do everything except work. But after some yakuza threaten to take over Ippongi’s family’s dojo, Chojo begins to take his job more seriously, and the pair embark on a comedic whirlwind solving crimes, catching bad guys, and blundering their way through life as police officers.
