On a night out drinking to get over being duped and ditched by her last boyfriend, Koda Minare ends up providing a massive drunken rant--while blackout drunk--for Matou, the director of a radio station. The next day, she is shocked to hear her own voice being broadcast on the radio! She rushes to the studio, leaving her job at a curry soup and bread restaurant in jeopardy. However, her drunken rant and the next day's impromptu damage-control live broadcast end up earning her an invitation to try working at the radio station!

This is a story of how an esper meets a girl in a small northern town. Tsubasa lives in a dying hot springs town, and he's a mostly friendless middle school delinquent. He actually has super powers, though he thinks of them more like embarrassing and useless powers. Sure, he can use his telekinetic abilities to brush his teeth while getting dressed, or read a book while drinking tea, but for the most part, it's easier just to do stuff with his hands.

One day, though, he hears the thoughts of a mute girl, Yuki, who is targeted for rape by other delinquents, due to her silence. He comes to her aid, and finds that to his surprise, he's able to manipulate her body to beat up her attackers! Unsurprisingly, she draws the conclusion that she is the one with super powers. Since Tsubasa's the only one who "knows her secret," their story together is just beginning!

My opinion:
Dagashi Kashi - If you're in the mood for comedy and sweets, then you should check out this manga.
Nami yo Kiite Kure - If you're interested in the world of radio, then this should pique your interest. If you are interested in seeing how she fares in the world of radio and the comedy that could occur, check this out.
Yuki ni Tsubasa - If you recognize the art, this manga is from the author of Saishuu Heiki Kanojo (SaiKano), and he brings us another intriguing story about a guy with powers who interacts with a mute girl. If you're interested in seeing the interactions between the two and like romantic dramas, then you should really read this manga.
