Synopsis:

In the technologically advanced metropolis of Academy City, where psychic abilities are commonplace among its student population, Touma Kamijou exists as an anomaly. Possessing no inherent esper powers, his only notable ability – Imagine Breaker – uniquely negates supernatural effects. His ordinary life is disrupted by the arrival of Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a girl burdened with the complete memorization of forbidden texts and now targeted by powerful factions.

Driven by a sense of responsibility for this enigmatic girl, Touma finds himself drawn into a world of hidden powers and perilous conflict. The narrative explores themes of identity, the nature of power, and the responsibility that comes with extraordinary abilities, set against a backdrop of scientific progress and arcane mysteries. The series blends elements of school life with intense supernatural action as Touma navigates a landscape far stranger than he ever imagined.
