Plot
Kusuo Saiki (Kento Yamazaki) is a 16-year-old high school student. He was born with many powers, including telepathy and telekinesis. This may sound cool, but, according to Kusuo's experience, super powers are not as good as we imagine. He tries to live a normal life, despite having a power that upsets him. Kusuo Saiki now tries to keep a distance from others to hide his psychic abilities, but his classmates with distinct individuality gather under Kusuo.

Reception
This film grossed at the Japanese box office.
Rachel Cheung of 'South China Morning Post' found the film to be overacted: "It may be funny for the first time, and maybe the second, that the sweet 19-year-old actress Hashimoto imitates the exaggerated facial expressions of her anime character; but when it happens for the 10th time, it becomes quite boring, if not irritating."
