Otaku Review

You know, I didn’t think it was possible to take the ‘psychic bishie brothers’ plotline and have such an epic failure as this opening volume but now I know. As you may have imagined, I didn’t really care for this opening volume of Nighthead Genesis Vol. 1: Reminiscense from Media Blasters.

In this paranormal bishie drama, Naoya and Naoto are two brothers born with psychic powers. The older Naoto can destroy things with his mind whenever he gets angry (exploding electronics, floor boards being torn up, etc) while Naoya can read a person’s heart just by touching them. This causes problems naturally as Naoto can’t control his anger and Naoya sometimes sees terrible things that he can’t handle. Unable to control them or their powers, their parents send them away to a special facility.

Fifteen years later a psychic named Shouko in Tokyo will predict their escape and the brothers finally get to make it out into a world they’ve been hidden from. Right away the brothers find themselves in trouble stumbling into an out of the way bar after the car they steal (at least I think they stole it, they never really cover that) gets a flat. While they are there, Naoya will accidently learn something about a woman that he can’t handle and the brothers are forced to hunt down a woman before she can cause more pain.
