MYSTERY GIRL Out of the blue, a beautiful girl asks Kakeru to run away with her. This could be any boy's dream come true, but there's something strange afoot. It turns out that the girl is on the run from a shadowy government organization intent on using her psychic abilities for its own nefarious ends. But why does she need Kakeru's help? Could it be that he has secret powers, too?
This is a fun story, focused on a 'normal' teenage boy, Kakeru, as he gets involved with a group of psychic runaways from a secret government research facility. Joi, the pre-cog leader of the gifted teens insists that he is an important and powerful psychic, but Kakeru just sees himself as an average teen, despite some extremely unlikely occurrences that keep him alive. A supernatural series aimed toward teenage boys (a naked girl astral-projection into Kakeru's room starts his interaction with the psychics), the story is well done and the characters engaging. The psychic abilities are diverse and reasonably developed, and the fight scenes are exciting without being over-blown. I am currently on volume 3, and looking forward to continuing to read the series. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys supernatural or action manga (YuYu Hakusho comes to mind).
