Story and Highlights
Choujun! Choujou Senpai is a psychic police comedy set around a police box in a downtown entertainment district. The original manga ranked 6th in 2024 and 3rd in 2025 in the Next Manga Awards’ comic division.
Synopsis
In the downtown area of Chinshuku, Kabukicho, the Chinshuku West Police Box is staffed by Choujou Meguru, a police sergeant with powers including mind reading, clairvoyance, and telepathy. People call him the ‘psychic police sergeant,’ but he is also a slacker who plays with children during work and a nuisance to the neighborhood.
Assigned to work with him is Ippongi Nao, a rookie officer, judo dan holder, and a person full of justice. Ippongi is nicknamed ‘Gorilla’ for superhuman strength. Together, the ‘strongest (?) buddy’ pair takes on incidents and trouble in Chinshuku.
Highlights
The first highlight is the back-and-forth between Choujou and Ippongi. Choujou uses his powers for selfish reasons and slacking off, while Ippongi charges ahead with straightforward justice. Their mismatched buddy dynamic creates brisk comedy.
The second highlight is the quirky group at the west police box. Robo-kun, a robot officer assigned to rehabilitate Choujou, is unaffected by his powers, while Inukai Yuki, an elite career officer with an overly heavy love for Choujou, helps make every commotion bigger.
The third highlight is the gap between the gag style and the weighty narration. According to an advance screening report on the official site, episode 1 narration is handled by Kubota Hitoshi, known for work including Jounetsu Tairiku. The combination of the playful tone and serious narration is part of the appeal.
