Plot:
"The story is set in a world where supernatural abilities are a reality and not just a figment of imagination wherein magic and science both collide and complement each other.
Academy City, a technologically advanced city in Western Tokyo, is well-known for its educational and research city.
The city itself is full of Espers, individuals who possess a special kind of power acquired via science.
Toma Kamijo, a student from Academy City, is a Level 0 esper because he has no powers whatsoever, or so they say.
One peculiar day after school, Toma find a young girl, Index, hanging on his balcony railing. Due to his strong sense of justice, he tends to find himself in difficult and problematic situations.
Turns out, Index is actually a nun of “Necessarius”, a secret magic branch of the Church of England.
Due to a string of unfortunate events, she carries it within her mind the “Index Librorum Prohibitorum”, a collection of 103,000 forbidden magical books which the Church personally removed from circulation.
To make matters worse, magicians and even espers are after Index and it now falls into Toma’s hands to protect her.
Luckily for him, Toma’s right hand is the legendary “Imagine Breaker” with the ability to negate any and all abilities (espers) or magic (wizards).
As science and magic cross paths, Toma must not face several dangers amidst epsers and magicians who are after Index."
