Mai the Psychic Girl[1] is a manga written by Kazuya Kudo and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami. It was, between 1987 and 1989, the very first manga to be translated into English and published in North America by Eclipse Comics and Viz Communications,[2] though it was not the first manga ever to be published in English.

The main character is Mai Kuju, a 14-year-old Japanese girl with great psychic powers. She is being pursued by the Wisdom Alliance, an organization which secretly controls the world. It already controls four other powerful psychic children, and it has hired the Kaieda Intelligence Agency to capture Mai.
