Magical Boy X

Following the sudden and unexplained disappearance of his mother, Oigawa Yatarou is uprooted from his familiar life and relocates to the very town where she once lived. Hoping to find answers or perhaps a lingering connection to her past, he instead steps into a community shrouded in unease. The town is steeped in an atmosphere thick with mysterious rumors and unsettling ghost stories, suggesting that its quiet streets hide far more than ordinary secrets. As Yatarou attempts to navigate this strange new environment, he must confront the eerie whispers of the locals and the dark, supernatural undercurrents that seem to permeate the area, all while searching for the truth behind his mother's vanishing. Magical Boy X is a one-shot originally featured as the fifth entry in the 12th Weekly Shounen Jump's Golden Future Cup competition.
