Tokyo ESP Anime Slated to Air in Summer
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The March issue of Kadokawa's Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine will announce on Friday that the anime adaptation of Hajime Segawa's Tokyo ESP manga is slated to premiere this summer.
The science fantasy story begins with Rinka, an extremely poor high school girl who lives with just her father in modern Tokyo. One day, she is going home from school when she chases a "flying penguin" to the top of New Tokyo Tower — only to have "fish swimming in the air" suddenly appear before her. One of the fish goes through Rinka and gives her extraordinary powers beyond those of normal humans, particularly the ability to slip through solid objects.
Segawa launched the "afterschool psychic action" series in Kadokawa's Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine in 2010, shortly after ending The Enchained Spiritual Beast Ga-Rei supernatural action series. Kadokawa published the ninth compiled book volume of Tokyo ESP last month.
