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. Later, when she gains a real body, it's form still resemble Tokiwa's vision because it was made based on preferences registered on his computer.
 * Amnesiac Hero: Thanks to an cyber attack, Rein's memory is damaged, making for her hard to identify or remain certain things.
 * An Arm And A Leg:.
 * 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.
 * Casting a Shadow: "Flashing Silhouette"'s power involves the manipulation of shadows, that he sues as extra limbs to attack.
 * Childhood Friend Love Interest: Kanata is Meguru's childhood friend and she is the character closest to him.
 * Cyborg:.
 * Combat Tentacles: The Kyoukotsu have tentacles instead of hands, that he uses to throw his targets around.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Rein vs Enigma is ridiculous one-sided thanks to her transformation powers.
 * Driven to Suicide: A nameless young girl tries to jump from a roof; "Flashing Silhouette" saves her.
 * 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.
 * Heroic Sacrifice:.
 * Humongous Mecha: K-01, a robot brought by Enigma to battle Rein when their guns prove to be useless against her.
 * I Know Your True Name: "Sennbeiser Suzuki" doesn't use his real name because he knows sorcerers can use that against him.
 * Imaginary Friend: At least that is what Tokiwa thought Rein was, specially since she appeared because he felt lonely with his parents constantly away.
 * Insistent Terminology: Haruka Yata insists his powers are "sorcery", not magic.
 * Intangible Man:
 * Since it's a ghost, the Kyoukutsu can't be armed by any of Reain's attacks, but Kanata's sword can since it attacks the soul.
 * "Sennbeiser Suzuki" is able to walk through walls.
 * 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.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: The only reason "Flashing Silhouette" saves a girl from committing suicide is because he would prefer if everyone else went with her at the same time.
 * 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.
 * Our Ghosts Are Different: The Kyoukutsu is a vengeful spirit born of a person's dead bones.
 * Really Was Born Yesterday: Rein when she gains a real body, since she was never able to "feel" the real world before, and her body is made of biological matter..
 * 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 sorcerer 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.
 * Vapor Wear: To say Rein wear any clothes generous: she can make it look like she is dressed with her powers. She doesn't seem to bother to create even the appearance, the underwear, since her battle outfit is clearly showing her nipples under the texture.
 * Verbal Tic: Kanata uses "Gozaru" often at the end of his sentences.
