A Certain Magical Index (2008)

In the heart of Academy City, an urban landscape engineered for the pursuit of psychic power, resides a boy devoid of any such abilities. His ordinary existence is upended when he discovers a famished English nun, named Index, dangling from his balcony. This peculiar encounter pulls back the curtain on a clandestine world where magic breathes and a silent war simmers between the scientific stronghold of Academy City and the Christian church's arcane forces. Uniquely, the boy, despite his apparent lack of psychic prowess, possesses a hand with the rare ability to negate all powers, both psychic and magical, making him an unwitting but invaluable player in this power struggle. It's here, in a city where power is the ultimate currency, that his life transforms from mundanity to a whirlwind of danger and intrigue. As Index becomes a hunted fugitive, her mind a treasure trove of magical tomes sought by formidable organizations, the scales of war teeter precariously. With elimination in the crosshairs, Index's survival hinges on her loyal friend Touma, the boy with the power-canceling hand. Alongside Misaka and a band of allies from the Academy, they plunge into a world where science and magic collide, stirring a tempest of conflicts that could consume them all. Every day in their extraordinary lives is a thrilling dance with danger, in a city where the extraordinary is ordinary, and power is the ultimate prize.
