What happens when the ultimate supernatural nullifier resides in the right hand of the world's unluckiest high school student? The A Certain Magical Index manga crashes the cutting-edge realm of modern science into the hidden, ancient world of heretical sorcery. In Academy City, a sprawling academic metropolis where students develop powerful psychic abilities through rigorous scientific trials, an underground war of faith, forbidden grimoires, and divine magic threatens to shatter the fragile peace.

Kamijyo Touma wants nothing more than to survive his remedial high school classes and dodge his constant string of terrible luck. His misfortune takes a bizarre turn on a typical morning when he discovers Index, a young nun from the Church of England, hanging from his balcony railing. Her brain has been forcibly implanted with the forbidden knowledge of over a hundred thousand magical texts, making her the prime target for dangerous sorcerers worldwide. Armed with only his Imagine Breaker—a mysterious power in his right hand that dispels any supernatural phenomenon—Touma must protect her from relentless magical hitmen, corrupt organizations, and high-tech espers alike. Readers can expect plenty of high-stakes supernatural clashes, lighthearted comedy, and surprising romantic tension as new chapters expand this massive urban conflict.

If you are a fan of high-tech urban fantasy and secret magic societies, you should definitely check out A Certain Scientific Railgun, Shakugan no Shana, or The Irregular at Magic High School.
