Story
Kamogawa Yoshiro is an ordinary second-year high school student who neither has any redeeming points nor talent. One day, he suddenly discovers that he is able to read people’s minds, and is bewildered. However, when he learns that the teacher Hayashi has designs on the transfer student Asami Sae, he filled with a sense of mission to protect her. Furthermore, he gets excited about using this supernatural ability to save the world. A mysterious student Mitsuru is watching Yoshiro … … Meanwhile, extraordinary changes happen to Nagano Terumitsu, the proprieter of Yoshiro’s regular cafe, and Hirano Miyuki, Yoshiro’s childhood friend too. Then, a shady professor, who has heard that many people with supernatural powers have started to appear in Higashimikawa, comes to the town with his assistant Akiyama Takako. Before long, Yoshiro realises that Sae whom he fancies has a black heart. He seeks to clear up this misunderstanding but she spots how good-for-nothing he is and he sinks deeper. One day, Yoshiro notices that Miyuki posesses the same supernatural power as he does. However, she is irritated with this newfound ability and shuts out the voices of the people around her.
