Kotoura-san

Yuriko Kotoura has a secret, though perhaps "curse" is a more apt description. From a young age, she's been able to read minds, an ability that has brought her nothing but hardship and isolation. Unable to distinguish thoughts from spoken words, she's inadvertently exposed secrets, shattered friendships, and driven away everyone she's ever cared for. Now, starting fresh at a new school, Yuriko tries to keep her distance, hoping to avoid a repeat of her painful past. But when she encounters the cheerfully oblivious Yoshihisa Manabe, her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. Can a girl who knows everyone's thoughts ever truly connect with another, or is she destined to remain forever alone in the crowd?
