Synopsis
Average teen Susumu finally awakens a disappointing superpower during his high school entrance ceremony.
Since the government announced the existence of people with "special powers" 10 years ago, Susumu Shindou has longed for his own amazing abilities. However, he finds himself to be nothing but an average 15-year-old. Then one day, during his high school entrance ceremony, a power finally awakens inside him...but it's not exactly the kind he'd always hoped for! (Source: MANGA Plus)
