Kotoura-san

Since childhood, Haruka Kotoura's classmates have seen her as a creepy and monstrous person. This is due to her ability to read other people's minds—the same ability that drove her parents away, leaving her alone with her grandfather. As a result, she has grown accustomed to the bitter treatment by the people around her, becoming completely cold and unsociable to others.

However, everything starts to change when Haruka transfers to a new school. While most are off put by her as usual, she meets Yoshihisa Manabe, who finds her power astonishing. Yoshihisa then proceeds to befriend Haruka, promising to never leave her no matter what happens.

Haruka's new experiences of social belonging thus begin, meeting new friends and learning to open herself along the way.

When I first saw this 10 years ago this was one of my favorite romance anime of this genre It lit a spark within my heart. Now after seeing this again 12 years later. This is still as amazing as the day I found you, as the day I first saw you, I will always be forever grateful for your works Enokids. Even after 10+ years since the anime of this came out, and 3 more volumes of the manga that haven't been animated. I will forever love your works and will always be hopeful for the rest to be animated. Well done for making ... my childhood great with your lovely works
when this came out. I thank you from the bottom of my heart (*つ▽`)っ

Mixed Feelings

Im quite annoyed i can't just recommend this one . The reason is quite simple. The attempted redemption of Moritani and Kotoura's mother. Shoehorning moritani in the cast's "adventures" really put me off. Not to mention the anime's quality after they took that decision also dropped. Like, what she pulled is not something you EVER forgive . Not to mention what role she assumed . Same goes for her mother. You just don't. I can't exactly agree with the president either ,but she gets a pass i guess.

Another thing that pisses me is the whole detective thing. You're telling me with her being tall and ... having big breasts like that, she was some sort of outcast? Even if she had no girl friends because of jealousy, she'd get approached by lots of dudes . For all sorts of reasons. You know it, i know it.

All in all it's a show that you can watch on a whim, as long as you don't really think that much about the details. And are willing to forgive just about anybody no matter how vile they are.

The ability to read minds sounds cool on paper but as demonstrated by Kotoura-san can drastically affect one's life. This anime follows the footsteps and daily activities of the ESP club a group of growing rag-tag friends trying to prove to the world that psychic abilities are real. The most noteworthy moments, in my opinion, are the first and last few episodes as it starts out dangerously tragic and usually leads to people expecting a bit more. Don't underestimate the other episodes though as it is essentially an adorable slice of life riddled with a bit of comedy. In the past, she may have harmed ... others but Kotoura slowly grows a knack for using her powers and experiences to help and rehabilitate others! She's able to understand the plights of her friends and even reconcile with a serial assault offender that beats high school girls. It's a decent watch and the cuteness of it all definitely grew on me (fellow fans of moe out there, this one's pretty good!) but it could have definitely been better.
