Character profile informs me that the no-sell guy is Kamijou Touma. He's the main character of A Certain Magical Index, so I guess that's the one you're supposed to start on first? He's unlucky and it's specifically his right hand that does the thing.

Random observation: Misaka Mikoto is localized as Mikoto Misaka on the cover, but not in the actual body. I'mma assume Mikoto is her given name, but dang name order is hard enough on my brain when a series is internally consistent about it!

We've seen a guy get bullied a couple times, getting increasingly mad at Judgment's inability to fix it. We see him probably making the bombs but hey just kidding we have pajamas to shop for. Mikoto bumps into Touma and finds out that the girl with the bag is his little sister. Explodeyman is doing his thing at the store where we're shopping! We evacuate the place, but his real target is Judgment! He uses the little sister to give the bomb to Uiharu, and Mikoto botches her Railgun trying to knock it away. But she's right behind him during his victory monologue. Doesn't go real great for him. Uiharu's fine, and credits Mikoto for that, but it was actually Touma who soaked the bomb.

We've heard rumors before about a "level upper" that is a shortcut to boosted powers, and that may fit with the bomb guy since he was only level 2. There have been a couple incidents fitting that pattern of powers beyond somebody's apparent capabilities, too. Time to send Mikoto undercover to investigate! Kuroko is as aware as I am of how bad an idea that is, but there's not much choice. Touma shows up and unwittingly messes up the sting operation. She zaps him so hard it causes a blackout.

Bombguy still doesn't have a name, and now he's in a coma. There's been a rash of unexplained comas like that recently. Kiyama Harumi is (I assume) a neurologist called in to figure this out. She seems important, but we're running out of pages on which she can do something.

Bonus: a preview of Toradora. That's another one that looks like something I'd like, so I eventually picked up the first volume, but I never read it.

My rating: 8/10
Cute girls, special powers, criminal investigations, decent art...relevant to my interests. Bit fanservicey for my tastes, but if you're gonna do fanservice I'd rather it just be flagrant like this is, rather than having a super serious story SUDDENLY BOOBS like, say, Afterschool Charisma. On second thought though, I think it said they were middle schoolers, in which case, ew. I might investigate further, I might not.

Bonus question: Favorite sequel or spinoff?
Hint for next: Cat :3
