What Is the Plot of Super Psychic Policeman Chojo?

The story takes place in Chinjuku, a bustling city precinct where crime meets supernatural chaos. The narrative follows Nao Ippongi, an earnest rookie officer and judo expert who gets assigned to the West Chinjuku police box. She quickly discovers that her senior partner, Meguru Chojo, possesses extraordinary psychic abilities including telekinesis, telepathy, and clairvoyance, yet uses them primarily to avoid doing actual police work.

The dynamic changes when local yakuza threaten Ippongi’s family dojo. Forced to step up, Chojo utilizes his psychic powers to tackle oddball criminals, creating a hilarious buddy-cop dynamic centered on telepathic antics and martial arts action.

The original manga started as a Shonen Jump one-shot in April 2023 before launching full serialization in February 2024 and wrapping up in June 2025. Manga readers can check out the completed series through the Viz Media Digital Reader and Shueisha MANGA Plus.
