LatestThe great battle is reaching its climax as everyone hurries to save the parliament from imminent doom. However, the Professor's true target is elsewhere and may change Tokyo's future completely. Rinka must fight to protect everything dear to her!
Rinka Urushiba is a normal high school girl, until she encounters a penguin and shoals of glowing fish swimming through the sky. She looses consciousness only to awaken with the power to move through inanimate objects. At first she thought it was a hallucination if it were not for Kyotaro Azuma who witnessed the event and who, incidentally, has the ability to teleport. They decide to use their powers to combat people who might use their powers for evil.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga ran in Shonen Ace and was actually cancelled early—this anime adapts what exists and invents an ending, which explains the rushed final episodes.
The 'ESPers as marginalized other' premise directly echoes 1970s Japanese sci-fi like Akira, but swaps cyberpunk grit for shonen optimism—then brutally undercuts it.
