Kimagure Orange Road

Kyousuke Kasuga has grown used to starting over. Even as a third-year middle schooler, he’s already transferred seven times, forced to move whenever someone gets too close to the paranormal abilities his family keeps hidden. After a chance encounter where he catches a pretty girl’s hat, Kyousuke dares to hope their latest relocation might finally be a fresh start that lasts.

That optimism wavers on his first day, when the refined girl turns out to be Madoka Ayukawa—rumored at school as “Madoka the Pick,” a tough delinquent known for smoking, drinking, and fighting. At the same time, Madoka’s best friend, the younger and high-spirited Hikaru Hiyama, quickly takes a shining to Kyousuke. Caught between two very different girls and a growing tangle of feelings, Kyousuke tries to keep his heart—and his family’s powers—under control as everyday school life turns unexpectedly complicated.
