Yuu's entire worldview shatters when he meets someone who can see through his lies. The show spends five episodes systematically dismantling the selfishness you didn't even notice he had, then asks if that matters when the real horror is what these powers actually cost. By episode 6, the tone has shifted so completely that you realize you were never watching a high school romance, you were watching a countdown to something darker, and the show already has you locked in.

Yuu Otosaka has a secret. During his teenage years, he discovered an ability that lets him slip into anyone's body for a few seconds, just long enough to exploit them for personal gain. He's kept it hidden, using his power to ace tests and coast through life without anyone suspecting a thing. Then Nao Tomori crashes into his carefully constructed routine. As student council president of Hoshinoumi Academy, she sees through his cheating and pressures him into transferring to her school and joining the council. The academy secretly exists for adolescents with supernatural powers, and the council tracks down those who misuse them. Yuu reluctantly helps as the group seeks out new ability users and shields them from harm. What starts as a personal con game grows into something far more serious as their investigation into these powers pulls them into complications they never expected.
