Cute and lighthearted story, a fun little escape from stress, and pretty artwork.

Toni and Mika have a secret. When they're together, they can teleport. They want to keep their powers secret, but now they need the help of Chris and Jackson to do it.

In this volume, a lot happens. Mr. Kageura is still after them and they have to try to stop him from telling the world about their powers. I think the story and characters develop a lot more in this volume than in volume 1. While I did like volume 1, I think this one is much better and I was hooked right from the start. Where as with volume 1, I didn't enjoy it much at first. I'm looking forward to the next book now.

I am really enjoying this series. I recommend the anime as well.

Rupanya Mikage membenci Yuya karena cowok itu pernah membuat Hideaki terluka hingga tak bisa ikut pertandingan lari.

Demi menyelamatkan Yuya yang hampir jatuh dari atap gedung sains, Tomomi melakukan teleportasi. Kekuatannya pun diketahui oleh Yuya. Pada akhirnya Tomomi dan Mikage juga mengaku pada Hideaki kalau mereka sudah bertukar tempat.

Namun, Pak Kageura ternyata merekam ketika Tomomi dan Mikage berteleportasi. Dia pun mengancam akan menyebarkan video itu ke publik jika duo kembar tidak mau membantu penelitiannya tentang ESP. Benar-benar orang dewasa yang egois. Dengan bantuan Hideaki dan Yuya, duo kembar mencoba menyusup ke gedung sains untuk mencari rekaman video. Namun, ternyata Kageura sudah mengopi videonya banyak sekali untuk jaga-jaga.

Aksi Kageura berakhir karena dia tersambar petir (deus ex machina banget). Saat itu atap gedung sains yang memang sudah bobrok hampir runtuh. Untuk menyelamatkan mereka semua, Tomomi mengajak Mikage untuk melakukan teleportasi dan itu pertama kalinya mereka bisa melakukan teleportasi untuk orang lain juga.

Pak Kageura yang tersentuh karena ikut diselamatkan akhirnya meminta maaf pada duo kembar.

Di cerita berikutnya, Yuya, Hideaki dan Duo Kembar berlibur ke villa milik Pak Kageura saat liburan musim panas. Namun, di sana mereka malah disuruh bersih-bersih.

Mikage yang mengetahui kalau Tomomi masih membawa buku-buku persiapan ujian masuk SMU lalu membantu saudaranya dengan menciptakan serum untuk membuat orang jadi lebih cerdas. Namun, karena khawatir dengan efek sampingnya, akhirnya mereka mencampurkannya ke dalam minuman Pak Kageura (hahahaha!). Yuya kemudian datang dan minum semua minuman itu. Akibatnya dia jadi punya kekuatan ESP untuk membelah lautan! Sebelum melakukannya, dia merasa kepalanya jadi sangat sakit, seperti terbelah. Kekuatan itu dia pakai untuk menyelamatkan seorang gadis kecil yang jatuh ke laut. Pak Kageura yang meminum serum itu juga jadi bisa memancarkan sinar dari matanya. Untungnya kekuatan itu hanya berlangsung untuk sementara. Setelah kekuatannya menghilang, Yuya bilang sebenarnya dia ingin punya kekuatan ESP agar bisa jadi lebih kuat untuk melindungi Tomomi. Tampaknya perasaan Tomomi bersambut.

Saat hari sekolah, kakak gadis itu, Masaki Takamura datang ke sekolah Yuya sebagai siswa baru dan menantang Yuya untuk lomba lari. Benar-benar tokoh baru yang menyebalkan.

I had forgotten how big the eyes are drawn in manga and anime. The story is interesting, but some episodes are rushed. A smooth and relaxing read that still makes you curious about the sequel.

[Soobie has fog in her brain · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, this US adaptation makes less sense than your standard Japanese version. I mean, this whole concept of university high was baffling. The names of the characters are ridiculous and I still can't understand why they left some of them in Japanese and translated all the rest. So silly!

The story is very simple and all the problems with Mr. Kageura were already solved in this volume. Now, there seems to be a new antagonist with a even more ridiculous name...

The twins are so nice, though! And Yūya... SIGH!

Good story...about twin sister have a power.....happy, sad, helping each other, funny and always loyal with their boyfriend.

[B-zee · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like the chemistries among characters; sisterly, brotherly, friendly, and...more than friends ;)
