Synopsis
Flirtatious 14-year-old Mai discovers her telekinetic powers are more dangerous than playful tricks when pursued by mysterious organization.
Mai is silly, giggly, and flirtatious - just like any other cute fourteen-year-old girl. As far as Mai is concerned, her telekinetic abilities are just good for practical jokes. But when a mysterious organization takes an unsettling interest in her powers, Mai begins to realize that her abilities might be far more significant - and dangerous - than she ever imagined.
