Here is the first visual released for Tokyo ESP:
Tokyo ESP is a manga series created by Hajime Segawa. The series began in 2010 in Kadokawa Shoten’s Shounen Ace magazine. To date there has been a total of 9 compiled volumes. Segawa is also known for his other manga series Ga-Rei, which ended in 2010.
Here is a synopsis of the series from MAL:
The science fantasy story Tokyo ESP begins with Rinka, an extremely poor high school girl who lives with just her father in modern Tokyo. One day, she is going home from school when she chases a “flying penguin” to the top of New Tokyo Tower—only to have “fish swimming in the air” suddenly appear before her. One of the fish goes through Rinka and gives her extraordinary powers beyond those of normal humans, particularly the ability to slip through solid objects.
The Tokyo ESP anime will be airing from July 12 this year, during the Summer 2014 anime season. More information and video footage of the will release soon.
