Synopsis
of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
Filled
with students, Academy City is at the forefront of scientific advancement and
home to the esper development program. The seven “Level 5” espers are the most
powerful in Academy City, and the third among them is high school student
Mikoto Misaka, a manipulator of electricity known as “The Railgun.”
When
strange incidents begin to occur across the city, he discovers that each crime
is linked to the elusive “Level Upper,” a legendary device that supposedly
increases the esper level of its user. As the situation escalates, it becomes
clear that there is more to Level Upper than meets the eye, and that Academy
City may be a far more twisted place than the glamorous utopia it appears to
be.
