LatestAn overjoyed Accelerator gains a new perspective on the world. The duel between Kamijo and Fiamma concludes, and the doomed Star of B'Tselem begins its crash landing. The ITEM members are tracked down by an old acquaintance.
Touma Kamijou is a student living in Academy City, a highly advanced place in terms of technology. Despite being gauged as a level zero esper (no powers), he possesses on his right hand the Imagine Breaker, an ability that negates any power whatsoever. Touma finds a young girl named Index who is trying to run away from Necessarius, a powerful magic organization that she is member of. Blessed with the skill of memorizing any sort of information, she holds 103,000 forbidden magical books within her head. As science and magic cross paths, Touma must face several dangers amid espers and magicians who appear in the exciting scientific town.
Writing
Absurdly convoluted magic system that somehow keeps topping itself
Practical Effects
Mikoto's coin-flip railgun: iconic, physics-defying, never gets old

OPs that slap harder than they have any right to
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Index spawned an entire 'Toaru' expanded universe including Railgun and Accelerator spinoffs, becoming one of the most commercially successful light novel franchises ever.
The 103,000 grimoires in Index's head is a direct reference to the estimated number of books lost in the Library of Alexandria—subtle, show.
