Synopsis
Located in Japan, Academy City is a futuristic metropolis that stands thirty years ahead of the rest of the world in scientific and technological progress. More than seventy-five percent of its inhabitants are students training their psychic abilities at various institutions. Touma Kamijou, a high school student, is ranked at the bottom with a level-zero ability, yet he wields a unique power named Imagine Breaker capable of neutralizing any supernatural force. Despite this extraordinary capability, Touma lives a normal life until he encounters Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a girl who has memorized every forbidden book of magic. When a dangerous group targets her, Touma vows to protect her from the magicians threatening her life, pulling him into a hidden world of the supernatural.
