The New York Times best selling SF manga series continues 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!

Throughout Academy City, the rumors are spreading like wildfire. People are finding mysterious envelopes containing free cash cards in and around the back alleys of the Seventh School District. Whipped up into a frenzy, the populace looks for as many cash cards as they can get their hands on, even if it means braving the perilous Skill-Out Territory, risking injury or worse by roving gangs of Level 0 thugs. Judgement is left with no choice but to step in... While Shirai and Uiharu try to crack the case and figure out who is behind the cash card chaos, Misaka decides to take to the streets herself... and soon gets embroiled in a disturbing scientific conspiracy the likes of which will rock her world to the core.

But when a ghostly figure starts stalking her, Junko is suddenly the center of attention! As Junko investigates her stalker, she starts to learn new things about her classmates...and herself! "'

'" The Daihasei Festival may be all fun and games (and explosions), but the chaos of the competition also serves as a distraction. A dank conspiracy lurks behind the event, and it ensnares one of Misaka''s “sisters.” When Misaka tries to investigate, the enemy proves to be more complicated–and ruthless–than she first guesed. Judgment is cripped. Misaka''s back may be up against a wall, but some of her other friends prove to be powerhouses in their own right. "'
