Charlotte
On Tokyo MX
A high school supernatural drama that begins as a power-fantasy wish-fulfillment but pivots toward tragedy and existential loss across its 13-episode arc.
All thanks to the special ability that he developed, Yuu was able to cheat his way into a very prestigious high school. With his power, he thought nothing was going to stand in his way, until he met a mysterious girl named Nao Tomori and other students with special abilities just like him. It was the beginning to a new life.
