History Manga / PsychicAcademy

* SchoolforScheming: The Aura reseach center is suppose to be like Academy, but with Professor Watabe at the helm the result is WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity to the poor kids in order to insure power for the humans.

''Psychic Academy'' is a {{seinen}} manga by Katsu Aki, which was serialized in ''Magazine Z'' from 1999 to 2003. It was adapted to a 24-episode ONA series in 2002.

%% MakeMeWannaShout

* SuperheroSchool: The whole purpose of the school is teach young psychic to control their power and use their power for good of mankind.

* IllGirl: Tokimitsu's sister. [[spoiler: indirectly it's caused by Tokimitsu ''[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone feeding off of her life force]]''.]]

''Psychic Academy'' follows the life of Ai Shiomi, a boy with psychic powers, also known as "aura power" in modern day Japan. This ability has emerged in the world, but not all people have it. Aura power itself allows certain elements such as fire, water, ice, wind, lightning, earth, and light to be used by those who have the ability. Which type of power they can use depends on their aura and what they are taught.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Played absolutely straight.

* BerserkButton: If certain aura users feel a certain emotion too strongly, their powers go out of control. For Fafa, it's sorrow. For Myuu, it's [[UnstoppableRage rage]]. Once set off, neither are able to calm down without outside help.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: This desire is expressed on ''several'' occasions. Orina on one occasion states that even though most aura-wielders work for the government, but Orina wants to have a normal marriage and have kids.

* NoNameGiven: A sizable portion of the cast answers to their Aura Code, a collection of syllables that somehow describes their powers, rather than their actual name. Addressing a person by their actual name is a privilege most aura users reserve for relatives and close friends.

* [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Annoying Older Brother]]: Imagine this... your brother is known as one of the greatest aura-users in the world, even called "The vanquisher of the dark overlord". And yet nearby you, he [[OneOfTheKids seems to lose twenty plus years of maturity]].

* [[JerkJock Jerk Class A]]: The Class A students are full of jerkasses. Justified in that many of them were emotionally disturbed when they were younger.
** Also, many of them lighten up a little bit.

* [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Aura Code]]: Each Aura user's Aura code is made up of words which describe their aura. This code gets longer as more becomes known about the person's aura (because of his time at the ADC, Zerodyne's code [[OverlyLongName has become quite long]]). Early on, translations have been given for these codes; for instance, Myuu's code meant 'Blazing Rose', while Ai's teacher's meant 'Shining Dappler'. Knowing your code (or at least certain parts of it) is required to effectively use your abilities.

* [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Annoying Older Brother]]: Imagine this...your brother is known as one of the greatest aura-users in the world, even called "The vanquisher of the dark overlord". And yet nearby you, he [[OneOfTheKids seems to lose twenty plus years of maturity]].

** CursedWithAwesome: And they don't always want them...
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Zig-zagged. It's no secret that Zerodyne is one of the most powerful aura users in the world...yet around Ai (When he's not in danger) he goes flat-out crouching moron.

* ElementalPowers: Most auras are expressed like this. Even some of the more exotic ones like Scent, Mist...

* {{Fanservice}}: oh god yes...lots and lots of naked girls coming without warning.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Some of the Class A students are legitimately very powerful psychics; however many of them were emotionally disturbed when they were younger. [[spoiler: And at least one was schizophrenic.]] This also isn't even getting into Watabe...

Psychic Academy follows the life of Ai Shiomi, a boy with psychic powers, also known as "aura power" in modern day Japan. This ability has emerged in the world, but not all people have it. Aura power itself allows certain elements such as fire, water, ice, wind, lightning, earth, and light to be used by those who have the ability. Which type of power they can use depends on their aura and what they are taught.

Ai agrees to attend the Psychic Academy School after being pressured by his brother. The school is where the elite students go to learn how to use their elemental aura power. Ai knows that somewhere within the Academy is his childhood friend Orina. At school however, she is known as Saara, after her aura code. On his way to his first day at school, Ai encounters a girl named Myuu (Mew). She is another student at the Academy and is a very quiet, seemingly moody girl. Ai also learns that his older brother Zero, a legend amongst those with aura powers, will be one of his teachers.
