Kindred Hearts Esper Chronicles

In the year 2004, a crystalline meteor hurtled towards Earth and crashed in the forests of Aomori, spreading clouds of mysterious dust upon its impact. These dust clouds contain a mysterious substance that turns children and teenagers alike into Espers, human beings gifted with supernatural powers known as Sigils. Some have telekinetic powers, others can control elemental properties and some of them have mind-control powers.

As time passes, Espers faces prejudice from normal people due to their powers, fearing that they might replace them. Some of them even think that Espers must be eradicated. There are even people who want to capture Espers and exploit their Sigils. On that day, an organization dedicated to researching and defending these supernatural youngsters known as Lazuline was formed. They even built a paradise for them named Sunshine City, an artificial island located on the temperate waters of Sagami Bay, Japan.

However, Sunshine City was just a temporary solution to the Espers. New threats began to rise as evil beings known as Deviants began to invade the island and a greedy capitalist started to oppress its inhabitants, and they must fight back for their rights to live. These are the stories of their struggles and their daily life amidst the threat posed by the oppressors and invaders.
