To Aru Majutsu no Index

Description
The story is set in a world where supernatural powers exist through science, and magic exists through religion.
In the story, Touma Kamijou is an ordinary high school boy with terrible academic scores and a power called Imagine Breaker. Imagine Breaker can defeat any other power, but it also undermines Kamijou's own good luck. His Imagine Breaker's immense strength is literally immeasurable, so hapless Kamijou is listed at the supernatural level of 0. He happens to meet a girl in white hanging off his window balcony. The girl says she is being chased by sorcerers, and Kamijou learns that the girl is a Church of England nun whose memories have been forcibly replaced by Index-Librorum-Prohibitorum — the 103,000 forbidden texts of the Church.

I already watched the anime but it is not finished I believe since there is still secrets left but the manga version has potential somehow and there is new enemy I found out ^-^
well I hope this continues!

I've just seen the anime and manga. Well the manga skips very good parts (entire archs) from the anime so I think for this one I'd recomend seeing the anime for a more complete enjoyment. Just to note, by the moment only chapters 25 and 26 have new story. Apart, the manga is well done although Touma has a kind of different feeling with this drawing style. The mix of modern science, psychics and magic is really the best of the show.

I haven't read the novels or seen the anime, so my opinions are strictly based upon the story as a manga series
At the beginning of the series it was really good. Lots of good action, and the basis of their world was really interesting (with magic, psychics, and the reasons explaining them) If i were to rate it just based on the action and fantasy portion of it, i would rate it 10/10 But I found the arcs were small and the was a lack of an underlying plot/story. I mean, it seemed almost too broken up in between the two arcs because of how the first arc ended. Also because of the end of the first arc, instead of seeing character development for the main character, it seemed like more of a setback =/ As far as rating goes, for me there were too many factors that varied in rating so im gonna leave this as unrated |

The anime follow the novels not the manga, so probably is better. For now i saw that the manga add and skip things, here they made Touma more "cool" and they skip totally the second novel. Usually i saw people that prefer novels as Shana or Zero but for me To Aru is better, as for Mushiuta and Baccano novels. I don't like the character "Index" because is the usually loli main chara clichè, but Mikoto is awesome for this i prefer the side story "To Aru Kagaku no Choudenjibou", where Mikoto is the main chara. Mikoto>Index The story is very good and the magic<->science adaption is pretty cool, i like all character, except index, and the action part is awesome.

| Like to see where this goes... by zultekmilennia on October 5th, 2008, 7:18am |

From the first 2 volumes, there are some potential here. And the anime is coming out, though they might alter the story (or make a 2nd season, if they wait for the manga).
The action is nice, and I'd like to see the hero develop from here. since he only have his right arm as a weapon (or shield), it'll be interesting to see how he uses it in more complicated battles. |

Ughh, Really peopel think this is a good mix? Iono I like my shonen as well as the next guy, but this series really puts me off. I mean they mixed magic and psychics right next to each other. That's like oil and water, they don't mix too well unless its a dam good setting and plot. And this is a meh series. A context from the story "Magic was born from ordinary people who wanted to have abilities like psychics".
Ultra lame, i know shonens are not suppose to make sense, but this just makes for absolute dribble. I give it a 4 for some decent art, and some humor...

nice shonen manga, has everything ( from the 8 chapters i've read) to keep you interested. the protagonist is not a looser, like most of them in the beginning of shonen mangas... well it's definitely some thing to read... Yea the anime's coming out this fall, so looking forward to that!  |

| A nice action manga by capture on July 20th, 2008, 6:04pm |

Agree with the first post this is a very nice manga, with some lots of action and magical stuff definitely an above average manga for magic, action and fantasy lovers out there. (Can't wait for the anime to be release >_< )
