A Certain Magical Index

Academy City in Japan stands at the cutting edge of science—so advanced it’s said to be decades ahead of the rest of the world. Over three-quarters of its residents are students training as espers, developing psychic powers through specialized institutions. Among them is high schooler Touma Kamijou, ranked at Level 0, yet hiding an ability no researcher can explain: Imagine Breaker, a power that cancels out supernatural phenomena.

Touma’s routine life shifts when he encounters Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a mysterious girl who has memorized countless forbidden grimoires. With dangerous forces closing in to capture her and magicians willing to do her harm, Touma chooses to protect Index, drawing him into a hidden conflict where science and the occult collide.
