Tokyo ESP manga, serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Shonen Ace is getting an anime. Mangaka is Segawa Hajime, who also did Ga-Rei.

Spoiler for Summary:

I guess with this adaptation they can cover the entire Part 1 if they want to. My favorite thing about the manga has to be the cute interactions between the heroine and the hero. Hopefully a good studio and staff will take this project.

NICE, Japanese Heroes finally gets its adaptation. Just hope it's a proper adaptation this time and not a Ga-Rei Zero.

RRW · 2013-05-09, 23:09

ahh this manga. basically Japanese X-men. quite fun manga

you forget to mention about how weird (and funny) it is at a time...too...

LuxorMG · 2013-05-12, 01:47

:O This is finally getting an adaptation. I haven't read the manga in the last two years, but maybe I'll have to pick it back up.

Kurohane · 2013-05-12, 03:10

Whoohoo! I was wondering if this would get an adaption. Glad to see it will.

totoum · 2013-05-13, 09:14

Oh hell yeah,love the manga and hope a good team will be working on the adaptation!

Kazu-kun · 2013-05-14, 16:37

This manga's great. This is one of the few action shounen manga with a girl as the lead. More often than not the top-billing character's a guy in this sort of story, so I'm glad for the change of pace. Plus, the powers are really cool.

I hope they will use all the episodes for the first part alone though. Trying to cram stuff from the second part in it would be a mistake imo. Provided they're only have one cour to play with, of course.

Velsy · 2013-08-04, 20:58

The first part of the manga was cool, cant say that much about the 2nd part...... I'd watch it still ^_^

The few?
111

Kazu-kun · 2013-09-09, 01:36

^ Yeah, those are just a few imo. Besides, 1/3 or so of that list is mistagged.

Sackett · 2013-09-09, 21:06

Oohh! Another good action shounen is being adapted?

I'm looking forward to this.

I'm going to have to agree with Kazu-kun. A lot of those female leads in the lists you provided are either not the real lead or just passive observers of the male characters in the manga (Neuro for example) or don't do much of the fighting (Zombie Loan, later parts of Chrno Crusade). Or the female lead is just put into a terrible situation and she's just a pawn being moved by the plot (Variante, Arachnid, Blood+, etc). And then some of them just have really poorly written characters in general, making it not a very interesting read.

Whereas, Rinka is a really well writen teen girl, who goes through a tremendous amount of character growth after facing almost insurmountable odds. She actively pushes the plot forward with her own decisions, and her determination and courage inspires others to follow her. She has her own dreams and goals, and actively pursues them. The romance aspect is pretty well done for an action shounen too.

There really isn't a lot of manga with strong female leads like her.

Throws to trash can.... I can't watch it.... I'm allergic to animals as protagonist or even side characters....

I can't see the heroine as an animal, maybe you didn't read the summary too well.

Huh?

There aren't animal protagonists. The only animal is the MacGuffin.

I think you misunderstood something.

Any word yet on when this is coming out? I assume 2014. Spring? Fall?

T-6000 · 2013-11-23, 00:15

Well it looks like we've got a little bit of something in regards to Tokyo ESP Anime. It's scheduled for a 2014 release, and we've got a magazine scan preview of the Anime, even though the damn glare gets in the way a bit.

Nachtwandler · 2013-11-23, 04:12

Hope anime designs would be the same as on the scan

LuxorMG · 2013-11-23, 18:11

It's been a long time since we got that first announcement. Finally!

And the MAL page is back up.

Mangaka is Segawa Hajime, who also did Ga-Rei. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...nga-gets-anime Spoiler for Summary: Urushiba Rinka was a fairly normal high school girl, though she was a bit poor and her only family was her father. Then one day, she saw a penguin and some glowing fish swimming through the sky. Rinka might have thought it was a hallucination if there hadn't been another witness with her, a boy from her school with a strangely scratched-up face. Contact with a fish caused her to pass out, and when she awoke, she had developed the power to move through inanimate objects... such as the floor of her apartment! Later, a call from her father showed her that she was not the only one the flying fish bestowed with hard-to-control superpowers! What exactly is going on here? And does Rinka's classmate know more about this situation than he's letting on? I guess with this adaptation they can cover the entire Part 1 if they want to. My favorite thing about the manga has to be the cute interactions between the heroine and the hero. Hopefully a good studio and staff will take this project. __________________ 　　　　　　　　　　 \| 　　　＼　　( ^p^ )／　　　　￣￣ / 　　　　　　　/ 　　　　　／　＼\| 　　　　/
