Psychic Squad

Synopsis

In the future, people with ESP are becoming more widespread. These people known as "Espers" are able to use a wide variety of abilities, however require training to be able properly control them and integrate into normal society. Unfortunately, there are also Espers that abuse their powers and wield them to destructive ends. The Japanese government's solution to both challenges is the establishment of the Base of Backing ESP Laboratory (B.A.B.E.L.) for the purpose of appraising, identifying, nurturing, and protecting Espers (even if that means apprehending them as if they were criminals). Five decades later, B.A.B.E.L. locates a trio of natural Level 7 (the maximum ESP potency designation) Espers within Japan, and assembles them into the special esper team known as "The Children". However, all three have developed questionable attitudes due to persecution and ostracization caused by the ignorant fear of their powers. Still, the question now becomes whether Kaoru Akashi, Shiho Sannomiya, and Aoi Nogami can be refined into young ladies. Kōichi Minamoto, a 20 year-old prodigy is assigned by B.A.B.E.L. to the task of supervising The Children. As the series progresses, The Children and Minamoto must deal with several enemy organizations, each with conflicted views regarding the role of espers in the world including: "P.A.N.D.R.A.", a cadre of rogue Espers determined to wage war against the rest of mankind; "Black Phantom", a mercenary organization which brainwashes Espers into living tools of destruction; and the "Normal People", composed solely of non-Esper individuals who view Espers only as a threat to be vanquished.
