Gleipnir
A school student and a monster sometimes, Shuuichi Kagaya is the type of student that one would consider average. Although he doesn’t know how or why he has these abilities, he would rather they be kept hidden. His alarm is raised when he finds a girl trapped inside a burning building. His goal is to save her, so he transforms into a superhero and carries her to safety, but he drops his phone in the process.
He is confronted with his monster identity by the girl he rescued the next day, Claire Aoki, who saw the attack that left her critically wounded. After Shuuichi denies her allegations, she even goes as far as to push him off the roof in order to prove her theory. When he transforms for the last time in order to save himself, Claire snaps a photo to blackmail him into saying whatever he knows about monsters, which is not much. Claire is also searching for her sister, who became a monster, as well; it turns out that she has a secret of her own. Shuuichi enlists her help in following her up, but they’re not the only ones looking for answers.
