Amalgam of Distortion (Ibitsu no Amalgam) is a sci-fi manga by Ryo Ishiyama, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2016 to 2017 as part of the Jump Start Initiative and compiled into three volumes.Rokumichi Kusaba is an Ordinary High-School Student with a crush on star student Yayoi Hina, the most beautiful girl in school and his childhood friend. One day, he finally works up the courage to ask her out on a date, and she accepts! Excited, he agrees to meet her in the local park.But on his way there, he sees a child trip on some train tracks- and a train speeding towards him. So, being the nice kid he is, he sacrifices himself to save the kid... only for the "child" to turn out to be a hologram.Rokumichi wakes up in a tube inside a medical facility, being experimented on. He soon learns that the hologram was a trap laid by the criminal organization SAI, who have been turning humans into "monsters" to sell them on the black market- and he is their latest subject. SAI Chief Sara Warren, their head scientist, has taken a particular interest in Rokumichi.But her twisted experiment is interrupted by Eishu Kuromizu, a mysterious New Transfer Student from Rokumichi's class, who reveals himself to be an undercover cop out to bust the operation. Though he is too late to stop Rokumichi from turning into a giant skeletal monstrosity, something surprising happens- Rokumichi is somehow able to turn back into a human-like form, albeit with most of his body still skeletal.Once the two escape, Rokumichi is recruited into the anti-monster investigative force by Chief Jirou Gotou, who has taken his own interest in Rokumichi's condition. Now, he finds himself struggling not only against the SAI and Sara's machinations, but against his own new self and his monster instincts. His greatest desire is to find a way to turn back into a human, reunite with Yayoi, and take her out on that date he promised her, but he has to hide his powers from everyone else. Can Rokumichi find a way to balance his new lives? Or will he fall and become yet another mindless monster? | |

The Syndicate: SAI is in the business of turning humans into monsters and selling them on the black market. They originated from the Imperial Japan war machine, but after the nation was defeated in WWII, the organization vanished underground and became SAI. | |

The Power of Love | |
| Amalgam of Distortion (Manga) / int_6a696742 | comment |
The Power of Love: In the first chapter alone, Rokumichi has been transformed into a monster by SAI, but is able to turn back human and retain his sense of self because he remembers Yayoi, his Love Interest, and that he finally asked her out. So he wants to take her out on the date he promised, and if that means he has to fight against both SAI and his own inner monster, then so be it. | |

And the Adventure Continues: By the end, Rokumichi has retained control of his humanity, saved Yayoi, and defeated Sara, but she is saved by her boss at the last second, and SAI as a whole is still out there. The manga ends with Rokumichi sent out to deal with yet another SAI plot. | |

| Amalgam of Distortion (Manga) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: In Chapter 8, Jirou says that two members of Squad 0 are returning from a trip. Immediately afterwards, we see two characters in a car being driven to the squad HQ, making it look like they are the two members in question. Nope, they are SAI agents who murdered the squad members and are coming to apprehend the heroes. | |
