The romance actually breathes, Kyosuke gets caught between two girls without the show pretending there's an easy answer, and every awkward conversation feels like it costs him something. The jazz soundtrack wraps around quiet moments between characters that most shows would skip over entirely, turning a love triangle into something that actually makes you believe in the mess of teenage feelings. Forty-eight episodes of a kid trying to be honest with people he cares about, failing constantly, and somehow making you root for him anyway.
Kyosuke Kasuga is a fifteen-year-old third-year middle schooler who has switched schools seven times, because his family has paranormal powers that must stay hidden. At his newest school he falls for Madoka Ayukawa, an elegant girl with a reputation as a delinquent who smokes, drinks and fights, and who shows him little interest. Her best friend, the lively first-year Hikaru Hiyama, quickly falls for Kyosuke, and he ends up dating her by accident. Drawn to both girls, Kyosuke tries to keep a fragile love triangle intact while handling schoolwork, guarding his secret abilities and coping with the trouble his gifted family keeps stirring up. The result is a romantic comedy-drama with a fantasy twist.
