Tokyo ESP Review
Funny, hard-hitting, and entertaining. These are all words that accurately describe Tokyo ESP. It is a manga filled with big battles, humorous situations, and some gritty stuff, too. Heck, even Steven Seagal and Yoda make cameo appearances (yeah, seriously).
Glowing fish fly through the city, bestowing superpowers on whoever they touch. Rinka Urushiba is one of these fortunate (or unfortunate) recipients of these powers. She has is given the power to phase though things and make things phase through her. She has trouble controlling these powers at first, phasing through the floor and winding up naked in another room. Eventually, though, she learns to properly use them, beating the crap out of criminals.
It doesn't take long for her to find out that other people have powers and that her own powers have a weakness. She learns that she can't phase through living things, a lesson she learns by taking one of the most brutal beatings ever seen a female take in manga. These is what the manga does well. The girls are the stars and it doesn't go easy on them. It makes you root for the girls.
The action gets pretty crazy in this manga. Beatings, car chases, terrorist attacks, underground fighting tournaments, angry hippos with superpowers, and more are abound in these pages. The action is intense, leaving you laughing and praying for the characters' safety at the time. This is especially true after the introduction of secondary main character, Ren Jomaku, a girl who throws "ice cubes" (for lack of a better word) from her hands. Seriously, that girl goes through some...stuff.
Tokyo ESP has it action. Good action, good art style, and even some romance. Throw in likeable characters, cameos, and some humor and you've got a recipe gold in both the action and comedy genres. This one is recommended, especially if you like female leads.
