Saitou-kun wa Esper Rashii · review

★
Top reader Dec 5, 2015 · 2 min read
6 /10

Souichiro Saioto, a high-school freshman, is driven by a belief that he is unique. This stems from a supposed ability to bend spoons. And yet, his demonstration of his ESP, during his class introduction, fails to net him the admiration he desires. The girls do not want to be with him; the guys do not want to be him. He is despondent, until stumbling upon the president of the ESP club, a beautiful girl with an invincible body... "Saito-kun wa Chounouryokusha Rashii" does not have the most impressive premise. But the daily adventures and squabbles of the ESP club are fun to follow, with quite afew laugh-out-loud moments. I didn't expect the manga to be as funny as it was, in fact. There is some fan-service, but not nearly as much as I expected (nor as much as the MAL cover seems to promise). Saioto's arrogance lends him a flair for the dramatic, despite his form of ESP being the least impressive of the bunch (if you can even call it that), and the resulting situations are bound to inspire a few chuckles.

The art is solid and the characters are, if a little flat, compelling enough, given how short the manga's run was. The plot leaves much to be desired. It's rather schizophrenic, and the manga hops genres as thin plot details compel the characters to action. Still, why think so much about it? Considering how short it is, the flaws are more than forgivable. Overall a fairly mediocre, but amusing, series - recommended.
