Plot Summary: Haruka Kotoura is a girl who was born with the ability to read minds. Due to being unable to tell the difference between people’s words and thoughts at a young age, she would inadvertently expose people’s secrets, leading her to be ridiculed by her classmates and even abandoned by her parents. This had led her to become closed off from others in fear of hurting herself and others. This all changes, however, when she transfers into a new high school and meets Yoshihisa Manabe, a dim-witted boy with a perverted imagination. Unfazed by Haruka’s ability to read minds, Yoshihisa offers her his friendship and vows to stand by her no matter what. Together, they join their school’s ESP Research Society.
For something labeled as a “comedy”, most of the first episode is extremely emotional. I lost it a couple of times! But I’m glad it evened out in the end. I am finally catching up on my watching and I like this one very much so far. Yes, it does turn out to be a comedy.
Thank goodness!
This show is awesome, especially Kotoura and Manabe. Hopefully this is one of those shows Sentai’s quietly keeping secret. Chris Patton would be perfect for the the little guy

I’m happy to see this get a physical release and with NISA I don’t mind paying for a premium edition, their’s are always really nice.
You also are not supposed to cross the street outside of the marked crosswalk. I suppose that the reverse importation disclaimer is required, not that it will stop anyone that is determined to do so.
The thing is, there’s even more dark before the clip. We just saw the breaking point in the clip.
And yes, I decided to re-watch the series because I wanted to see how quickly she got better, at least to the point where she started showing signs of happiness at least
