Chapter 3

Stand by the West is the third chapter of the manga Choujin X.

Summary
The chapter starts with Tokio Kurohara slowly carrying his unconscious friend, Azuma Higashi, to the hospital while breathing heavily. His extreme exhaustion seemed to make it difficult for him and at one point he falls down. Their clash in the ground suddenly wakes Azuma up and he gets shocked when he turns around and looks at Tokio's face. Tokio gets happy when he looks at Azuma and realizes his friend is okay. Azuma asks Tokio what happened to the "long-necked choujin", referring to Johhny Kiyoshi Takeyama.
