About

"A goofy power-school comedy that turns into a tearjerker"

Teenagers worldwide briefly develop odd superpowers during puberty, and a slacker named Yuu who can possess other people's bodies gets caught cheating and shipped off to a school that recruits ability users before their powers attract exploitation. What starts as a breezy, gag-filled school comedy about oddball powers curdles into something much heavier as the story picks a lane and pushes hard on loss and responsibility. From the studio behind Angel Beats!, it leans on melodrama and mood swings rather than tight plotting to make you feel something.

Watch it for

the sharp emotional gut-punch once the story abandons its comedic setup.

Maybe skip if

you dislike abrupt tonal whiplash or plotting that favors feeling over logic.
