Synopsis

A mediocre high-school student Yoshiro finds himself having a mind-reading psychic power one day. As he looks around, there seem more psychics born in the city, and somehow they are all virgins! One uses his psychokinetic power to fulfill his sexual desire or turns into a flasher using teleportation ability (and so on)… Knowing he has been nothing but ordinary and never got a spotlight in his life, Yoshiro determines to use his power, not to fulfill his lust but to save the world from the erotic-terrorism!
