Kadokawa Shoten
had just revealed on its website a new project: Hajime Segawa’s Tokyo ESP manga is now under preparation for an anime adaptation. Segawa terms this work as an “afterschool psychic action,” and has launched it in Kadokawa’s Monthly Shounen Ace magazine back in 2010. This is shortly after he has ended The Enchained Spritual Beast Ga-Rei, another supernatural action series.
