Hi. Uh. My name is Titi. I'm a fictive from a manga called Sequence. It's by Ryo Saenagi. Only one volume got published here in America so I barely know anything about my story outside of the one volume, and it frustrates me! It makes it hard to talk about myself! I've found old sticker sheets and other goods from when my source was published but that's all. Nobodies really bothered to translate the rest, not even fan translations.

Anyway, Kanata if you're out there, hi? I don't think you are, but it'd be cool if you are.

Manga Giveaway: Tokyo ESP Giveaway Winner

And the winner of the Tokyo ESP manga giveaway is… AshLynx!

As the winner, AshLynx will be receiving the first omnibus in Hajime Segawa’s manga series Tokyo ESP as published in English by Vertical Comics. Tokyo ESP is a relatively recent example of a manga that’s about psychics and espers. The subgenre doesn’t seem to be quite as common as it once was in translation, but it’s certainly still around. And so for this giveaway, I asked that participants tell me a little about their favorite espers and psychics from manga. Mob from Mob Psycho 100 was mentioned the most frequently (I really hope an English-language publisher will license that series soon!), but there are other really great characters mentioned in the giveaway comments, too!

Some of the psychic/esper manga available in English: A, A’ by Moto Hagio Akira by Otomo Katsuhiro Alive: The Final Evolution written by Tadashi Kawashima, illustrated by Adachitoka Baoh by Hirohiko Araki Betrayal Knows My Name by Hotaru Odagiri Beyond the Blindfold by Sakura Tsukuba A Certain Magical Index written by Kazuma Kamachi, illustrated by Chuya Kogino A Certain Scientific Accelerator written by Kazuma Kamachi, illustrated by Yamaji Arata A Certain Scientific Railgun written by Kazuma Kamachi, illustrated by Motoi Fuyukawa Clover by CLAMP Descendants of Darkness by Yoko Matsushita Drug & Drop by CLAMP Domu by Otomo Katushiro ES: Eternal Sabbath by Fuyumi Soryo From the New World written by Yusuke Kishi, illustrated by Toru Oikawa Ghost Hunt by Shiho Inada Hands Off! by Kasane Katsumoto I.O.N. by Arina Tanemura Jihai by Toshimi Nigoshi Kimagure Orange Road by Izumi Matsumoto Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service written by Eiji Otsuka, illustrated by Housui Yamazaki Legal Drug by CLAMP Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer by Satoshi Mizukami Mai, the Psychic Girl written by Kazuya Kudo, illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami Maoh: Juvenile Remix by Megumi Osuga Mistress Fortune by Arina Tanemura The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya written by Nagaru Tanigawa, illustrated by Gaku Tsugano Night Head Genesis by You Higuri Please Save My Earth by Saki Hiwatari Psychic Power Nanaki by Ryo Saenagi Psycho Busters written by Tadashi Agi, illustrated by Akinari Nao Psyren by Toshiaki Iwashiro Rasetsu by Chika Shiomi Spiritual Police by Youka Nitta Telepathic Wanderers written by Yasutaka Tsutsui, illustrated by Sayaka Yamazaki To Terra… by Keiko Takemiya Tokyo ESP by Hajime Segawa Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP Wild Com. by Yumi Tamura X by CLAMP Yurara by Chika Shiomi YuYu Hakusho by Yoshihiro Togashi

That’s quite a list, and I’m certain that’s not all of the manga with psychics and espers to have been released in English. Even so, I think there’s a nice variety of genres and even types of psychics represented, and you’ve got to start somewhere. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared your favorite espers with me. I hope to see you again for the next giveaway!
