Introduction:-
Haruka Kotoura is a 15-year-old girl who was born with the psychic ability to read minds. As a child she blurts out what people around her are thinking, not yet knowing that these thoughts were connected to the person's true feelings. She soon gets ridiculed by her classmates at school and loses all of her friends. The strain gets to be too much on her parents as well which results in her mom abandoning her after she inadvertently exposes an affair between them. Haruka becomes a recluse when she distances herself from everyone, concluding that she only brings people bad luck.
Things start to change when she starts high school and meets a guy named Yoshihisa Manabe. He is shown to be unfazed by Haruka's mind-reading ability but has a perverted imagination. Yoshihisa offers her his friendship and vows to stand by her side regardless of the circumstances. He helps her make new friends and together they form the school's ESP Research Club. Haruka's life begins to change completely for the better which gives her new found strength she never had. She is eventually able to overcome the teasing she has endured, and face her mother regarding her past. The series concludes with her confessing her love to Yoshihisa with support from her friends.

Manabe Yoshihisa, one of her classmates, accepts and appreciates her ability and she begins to interact with her friends with his help.

Story :-
Kotoura-san has the makings of an exceptional show. It has the ambition to be both an emotional drama and an uplifting comedy, to be an experience full of highs and lows to keep you engrossed to the end. It even has an intriguing premise providing a solid foundation for its narrative. Regrettably, it is clear from the very first episode that not only is Kotoura-san plagued by atrocious writing, it furthermore has the entirely wrong attitude when it comes to the use of drama in general.
Kotoura-san tells the story of Kotoura Haruka, a girl with the power to read people's minds. Whilst one would expect such a power to be a gift, this unfortunately couldn't be further from the truth for Kotoura, who goes through tragedy and strife. As more and more people reject her, she sinks into the depth of loneliness. Abandoned by her parents and afraid to get hurt, she moves from school to school, keeping people at distance. But upon transferring into yet another school, she meets Manabe, a perverted yet honest individual who accepts Kotoura for who she is, and tries with the help of others to get Kotoura to accept herself.
With such a promising premise, how did it all go wrong?
Kotoura-san, bless its poor, forsaken heart, knows nothing of subtlety. When it comes to the drama, the show's writers want you to know for certain what's happening on screen is tragic, and they are not leaving it up to chance. Kotoura-san makes sure you know by shoving it in your face, being incredibly melodramatic, and blaring histrionic orchestral music at your ears. You can practically hear the director shouting "ARE YOU SAD YET? BE SAD NOW!". The writing is so heavy-handed in its approach that the scenes often don't even make sense, as elements designed to make the scenes even more full of anguish are carelessly introduced without proper thought. At worst, things get completely out of hand as you are bombarded with one melodramatic scene after another.
The very first episode is a perfect example. Kotoura's tragic backstory is told, where each depressing event in her life is immediately followed up by another one, aiming to be even sadder than the last. Eventually it escalates into a ridiculous scene in which Kotoura-san, previously finding her only solace in a stray kitten, breaks down because she is informed that the cat has been taken away, leaving her alone. This would be acceptable, however the woman who informs Kotoura proceeds to shout at her, telling her to "Leave and never come back!" for no apparent reason. This is one of the many contrivances used to easily make the scene more emotional, which are the defining hallmarks of Kotoura-san.
This here is yet another cute little series that’s got everything that you need for a good drama/romantic comedy story, and a little extra! Because just for you supernatural lovers, we’ve got some freaky mind reading sh*t thrown into the mix. Now you might be thinking “why…?”, but after you read this review, you’ll hopefully have a pretty clear idea about why this setting makes this series such a unique and awesome romantic comedy series for you to go and watch.
Kotoura-san revolves around a young teenage school girl called Kotoura Haruka, who was born with the ability to read other people’s minds. As a result, she accidentally spills the truth about their parents cheating on each other which causes her parents to leave her at a young age. Scarred for life, she loses friends and trust around her due to her “cursed power”. When she advances to senior high though, she meets a pervert called Manabe Yoshihisa, who, despite Kotoura’s mind reading powers, falls in love with her and doesn’t want to leave her. She is later picked up by the ESP club, in which Kotoura begins to learn about trust and friendship again, as well as love the man that made her change for the better.
Conclusion :-
I think this anime was highly smiled upon by the online community because of its firstly cute characters and artworks, but also because of its wide juxtaposition with the very dramatic, almost depressing, drama scenes (such as Kotoura’s past, which viewers of this anime will already know). There are very little romantic comedy anime’s that fail to even attempt to create such a gap between genere’s in the one series, but this series has succeeded in doing that in a very entertaining way. At one point the anime is very light-hearted, while in the next it is very depressing. I think that is what made this anime so unique and awesome. So watch it if you haven’t yet.
Recommendation :-
Of course -, Its an Romance, School anime.
My rcommendation is 7/10.
I strongly recommend it for Romance, School lover.
