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.

 * 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 Tokiwa didn't want to go to school in first place.

 * 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

 * 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.
 * Shout-Out: Aria poses like Venus on "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli during a bath scene.
