History Characters / MousouTelepathy

* MaybeEverAfter: With Eto, a girl in his grade. Eto is in love with him and makes that fact known to him, but Shimizu at the time still nursed a crush on Nakano. The story concluded without them resolving either plot point, and he is the only main character not explicitly paired up in the epilogue.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Despite claiming to not like Toda at the start, she spends quite a bit of time obsessing over his every thought, though it doesn't help that she can read his mind (where he thinks of her almost 24/7). [[spoiler:Eventually realizes she's in love with him towards the end of the story.]]

* SenpaiKohai: Has this dynamic with Toda, his senior on the school soccer team.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Given the eventual reveal that her telepathic powers are caused by PsychologicalProjection, it calls into question precisely why her imagination is just as lewd and vivid when someone is thinking of her with Mana as it is was Toda.

* PsychologicalProjection: An interesting telepathic version of the trope. The thoughts are all there, but all of the images and scenarios that Nakano sees are her own to fill in the gaps. Meaning, for example, Nakano projects her own expectations and fantasies of sensual or sexy imagine spots onto others unknowingly.

* AmbiguouglyBi: Given the eventual reveal that her telepathic powers are caused by PsychologicalProjection, it calls into question precisely why her imagination is just as lewd and vivid when someone is thinking of her with Mana as it is was Toda.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Her eventual steady, [[spoiler:Sano]], is just as blunt, well meaning, and in the same social sphere as her.

* CleaningUpRomanticLooseEnds: Eventually gets into a relationship with Sano.

* OnlySaneMan: A lot of the humor involving Yashira is his normal and honest responses to the weirdness going on around him from his much quirkier friends. It's equally impressive that he manages to come across as so grounded and sensible when his thoughts reveal he's ''also'' the [[Cloudcukoolander]] inside.

[[spoiler:Eventually realizes she's in love with him towards the end of the story.]]

* ChivalrousPervert: There's a million things that he would ''like'' to do with Nakano, and often has wild and sexy fantasies about her. However, he's nothing short of helpful to her in life and keeps his distance. [[spoiler:{{Downplayed|}} later on however, as it turns out Nakano was [[PsychologicalProjection projecting]] some of it.]]

* CrazyJealousGuy: {{Downplayed|}} - he actually doesn't truly display this to everyone else, but in his mind's eye, he's almost pathetically jealous at other people managing to associate with Nakano or depressed from not being able to go with her as he'd like. However, it's only his overactive thoughts that he'd never actually do.
* FrozenFace: As repeatedly mentioned, his face is permanently expressionless. His family has a history of a certain condition that makes them unable to emote.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: He once imagined what it'd be like if he was a girl so he could approach Nakano more easily. Yep, you better believe it quickly turns into imagining his female self getting intimate with her.[[spoiler:..though it turns out that this image may be Nayako's fault anyway.]]

* NotSoStoic: {{Inverted|}} - we start off with Nakano having to hear [[DirtyMindreading his variety of sexual fantasies of her]] and then later hear about just ''how'' stoic he seems to everyone else despite this. Turns out he practically has a FrozenFace.

[[/folder]]

* SempaiKohai: Has this dynamic with Toda, his senior on the school soccer team.

* BlessedWithSuck: You would think having telepathy is a great power, but it often gets in the way of everything and sometimes overwhelms her if she's in a large crowd. Hearing everyone's true thoughts only makes her frustrated and even upset if they concern her.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Despite claiming to not like Toda at the start, she spends quite a bit of time obsessing over his every thought, though it doesn't help that she can read his mind (where he thinks of her 24/7). [[spoiler:Eventually realizes she's in love with him towards the end of the story.]]

* {{Telepathy}}: The main source of conflict for her. Hearing everyone's thoughts before she can even talk to them allows her to pick up on the mood, but it also makes her more wary of them and she usually doesn't get to use it to her advantage.

* RomanticRunnerUp: Although he is initially more straightforward about his affection for Nakano and is the only other guy in the series to harbor feelings for her, they ultimately do not feel the same way about each other, especialy given Nakano likes Toda.

* ChivalrousPervert: There's a million things that he would ''like'' to do with Nakano, and often has wild and sexy fantasies about her. However, he's nothing short of helpful to her in life and keeps his distance. [[spoiler: Downplayed later on however, as it turns out Nakano was [[PsychologicalProjection projecting]] some of it.]]

* SingleTargetSexuality: Toda is only attracted to Nakano. When other men wonder what's happening on the girls' side in the hot spring, he's the only one who specifically imagines her. When Toda tries imagining himself paired with Mana, he finds himself not attracted to her at all.
* TheStoic: Though surprisingly, not by choice or personality; extras revealed that his face is stuck like that permanently. His inner self is much more expressive, but only his friends and Nakano can understand that.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: His mother, sister, and cousin all share the same facial features, and his immediate family is all red haired.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: While on the surface she's amiable and social, on the inside she hide some nasty and blunt thoughts. The twist here is that the whole class already knew, and they treat her like she's a big faker.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Starts out like this in an effort to protect Toda from being hurt romantically and because she likes him herself, and she was especially wary of Nakano. Does have a deconsruction: since [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone already knew of Mana's crush]], they think that any attempt to socialize or join in activities is a result of Toda.

* GentleGiant: Shimizu, goalie of the soccer team, is large enough to bump into most doors, and is a landmark for people in a crowd. But he's a downright kind and cheerful fellow who doesn't hesitate to help.

* ChivalrousPervert: There's a million things that he would ''like'' to do with Nakano, and often has wild and sexy fantasies about her. However, he's nothing short of helpful to her in life and keeps his distance. [[spoiler: Downplayed later on however, as it turns out Nakano was [[PsychologicalProjection Projecting]] some of it.]]

!Ayako Nakano

* IAmNotPretty: Nakano refuses to really see herself as any sort of proper cute or pretty [[spoiler: even though all that visualization of Toda's perverted mindset was really her own delusions, thus imagining herself sexier the entire time.]] It's also not helped by her rather plain taste in clothes to probably de-emphasize herself, to the point that if she's not in school uniform, someone's probably commenting on her lame fashion sense. Moments in-series subtly emphasize that if she actually was less self-loathing and more outgoing, she would likely be downright beautiful if given the opportunity.

!Hayato Toda

!Mana Azuma

!Akira Yashira

* CloudCuckoolander: He's a bit aloof like Toda, but can at least show expression - and loves to mess with others or do things his own way in a rather quirky fashion. It says a lot that his idea of a perfect dream involves a talking eagle declaring he's won a year's worth of eggplants for winning a Mt. Fuji biking competition.

!Kiyoshi Shimizu

* CleaningUpRomanticLooseEnds: With Eto, a girl in his grade.
