Cast

Kamogawa Yoshirou (鴨川 嘉郎)
Casted by: Sometani Shōta (染谷 将太)
Main protagonist of the series. A high school 2nd year student. Quiet and outspoken and barely noticed by anyone. He usually gets an extreme boner when thinking about erotic stuff or seeing a girl's upskirt. He is infatuated with Asami Sae. He is an Esper with the ability of Telepathy, and he wishes to save the world as a Hero with his ESP powers. He is able to control his ability by tuning into a person's thought frequency much like how a radio works.
In the Manga, during the final battle, his telepathy ability could also induce their thoughts.
Hirano Miyuki (平野 美由紀)
Casted by: Kaho (夏帆) - TV Series (2013)
Casted by: Ikeda Elaiza (池田 エライザ) - Film (2015)
Main Heroine and childhood friend of Yoshirou in the series. A high school 1st year student and Yoshirou's junior. She is a Yankee, and is very quick tempered. She has strong arms and legs. She gradually develops feelings for Yoshirou. Similar to Yoshirou, she is an Esper with the ability of Telepathy. Unlike Yoshirou, she is unable to control her ability fully and it does not work all the time. Her telepathy range is short, but she is able to hear all thoughts within a certain distance.
In the anime, she developed the ability to see the inner-hearts and desires of a person.
Asami Sae (浅見 紗英)
Casted by: Mano Erina (真野 恵里菜)
A transfer student from Tokyo. She is in the same class as Yoshirou. She has an ex-boyfriend named Tetsuya from Tokyo. Due to her Father's research, she was forced to come to the countryside and feels stressed out about it. On the outside she is pure and lovely, but has a black heart filled with hatred. She does not believe in ESP.
In the Manga, although initially not being to able to accept the fact that ESP exists, she later started to slowly believe in it with the help of Yoshirou. She then made up her mind to help the Espers in their fight, but ended up losing her life. During the final battle, in the world of re-doing, she earned the ability to grant a malicious wish from the past. She also earned the ability of manipulation and shape-shifting. In that same world, she is dating Enzaki.
