Touma Kamijou just can't catch a break. He might live in Academy City, a place full of more super powered students than you can shake a stick at, but his only superpower is his supernatural lack of luck. He wants nothing more than to keep a low profile, but when a girl named Index comes into his life, it gets more complicated and dangerous than ever!

'" Kuriba Ryoko''s Doppelgänger--the by product of a cyborg experiment that may have generated a human soul--has run amok, and Misaka may be the only one who can stop it. Misaka''s unlikely team-up with the girls of Scavenger could be the key to uncovering the truth inside the Doppelgänger. The explosive conclusion to the Dream Ranker Arc! "'

'"In Academy City, trouble is afoot at the prestigious all-girls' school Tokiwadai. Hokaze Junko is being stalked by a ghostly girl who needs Junko''s help to find out who--or what--she is, since she has no memory of her own identity. Unfortunately, Junko's investigation into this lost spirit has to take a back seat when her beloved Shokuhou Misaki falls into enemy hands! Is Junko strong enough with her Rampage Dress psychic ability to save her queen? "'

With the Daihasei Festival behind them, an unusual calm has settled over Academy City. That is, until a weird rumor begins to circulate. Supposedly someone has created a machine that can manipulate what a person dreams, allowing good dreams to be shared. But when it's revealed that these altered dreams affect reality itself, is this newest Esper invention a gift or a curse?

Welcome to a world where mysticism and science collide, and supernatural powers are derived from either science or religion. At the heart of this world is Academy City, an advanced metropolis whose population is comprised mostly of students. The majority of students are enrolled in the city’s “Power Curriculum Program,” where they must learn to master their latent psychic powers. Out of several million students, only seven are deemed powerful enough to have Level 5 status. Meet Mikoto Misaka, the third most powerful Level 5 esper in Academy City. Together with her best friend Kuroko Shirai and the other members of Judgment, a student-run law enforcement agency, Mikoto delves deep into the dark heart of the scientific sprawl she calls home and uncovers secrets she wishes she hadn’t!
