Tokiwa Kitareri!!

A 2014 manga written by Syun Satsuena, the author of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple.

Yasaka Tokiwa is just a common average student. He wrote a novel, but nobody read it apparently. Nobody except Deus Ex Machina III, an incredibly-advanced android who took an interest in Tokiwa because of it. Since he appeared, Tokiwa is having weird dreams about the future, and weird things are beginning to happen in his school.

Serialized by on Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday


 * A Form You Are Comfortable With: Each character sees Rein in a different way, but the panels show her the way Tokiwa sees her: as a curvaceous young woman.
 * Amnesiac Hero: Thanks to an cyber attack, Rein's memory is damaged, making for her hard to identify or remain certain things.
 * Berserk Button: Machina becomes very irritated when Haruka begins to talk badly of Tokiwa or implies he's possibly dead
 * Brutal Honesty: In Chapter 2, Machina reveals his plan to take Tokiwa to school to Tokiwa despite the fact the reason he had to create a plan was because the boy didn't want to go to school in first place.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Rein vs Enigma is ridiculous one-sided thanks to her transformation powers.
 * Eye Beams: One of Machina's many abilities invole simply firing beams from his eyes.
 * Failed a Spot Check: The heroes ignore the possible relationship between the girl who Kanata, Naruka and Tokiwa sees in their dreams with the website NUE even after Tokiwa notices the similarity
 * Fanservice: Not unlike Satsuena's last work. The first chapter features a tentacle monster with melting powers that only melt a "surface" every time it attacks. His first victim is a female student, and of course the surface he dissolves before trying to melt her skin are her clothes.
 * Gainax Bounce: In the ad made by J.C.Staff to promote the manga, the very first second features Rein's boobs bouncing while she waves to Tokiwa and Machina from the roof of a house.
 * Going Commando: The girl with elf-like ears that lives with Haruka don't wears panties under her mini dress.
 * Half the Man He Used To Be: Kanata apparently does this to an enemy, but it turns out his weapon is spiritual and will only cut the soul.
 * Humongous Mecha: K-01, a robot brought by Enigma to battle Rein when their guns prove to be useless against her.
 * Imaginary Friend: At least that is what Tokiwa thought Rein was, specially since she appeared because he felt lonely with his parents constantly away.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Rein's adult virtual avatar form barely wear any clothes, exposing her breasts, crotch, and butt.
 * Mysterious Waif: Aria, who appears out of nowhere to Haruka in first place, has a vague origin, weird magical powers, and doesn't even have a real name until Machina settles on "Aria" after the rest of the main cast makes several suggestions.
 * Naked on Arrival: Played with. When Rein emerges in the real world and becomes part of the main cast, she is completely naked. Then again, she didn't wear many clothes before in first place.
 * Insistent Terminology: Haruka Yata insists his powers are "sorcery", not magic.
 * Scenery Censor:
 * The hair of both Meguru and Aria, and the cable of a portable shower is used to cover their nipples during a bath scene.
 * A piece of flying metal hides Rein's right nipple, despite the fact we have already seen her nipples a few pages before.
 * Shout-Out: Aria poses like Venus on "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli during a bath scene.
 * Thou Shalt Not Kill: The other heroes freak out when Kanata apparently kills a sorceror that was trying to kill them.
 * Tranquil Fury: Machina doesn't talk in a different tone or contorts his face, but he fires lasers at Haruka when he teases something bad happening to Tokiwa.
 * Verbal Tic: Kanata uses "Gozaru" often at the end of his sentences.
