Mai, the Psychic Girl

    (Eclipse, 1987-1989)
™ and ©1987 Kazuya Kudo, Ryoichi Ikegami/Shogakukan, Inc.

Mai is a fourteen-year-old Japanese girl pursued by the sinister Wisdom Alliance, which wants to control and exploit the psionic power she wields. After the death of her father, Mai is rescued and aided by Tokyo University student, Intetsu, who, with the help of his college friends, decides to oppose the forces that would enslave her.

Translated from the original Japanese, Mai, the Psychic Girl, has the unique quality and pacing of other manga titles like Ranma 1/2 and Akira. There is a sense of anticipation due to the abundant use of facial close-ups with no dialogue and a complete absence of thought balloons. Scenes can change from deadly serious to humorous to absurd in the space of a page.
