A Certain Scientific Railgun Series

IT’S ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL…

As the Big Three cliques of Tokiwadai Middle School ruthlessly compete with one another, a member of the Mikagami Clique is attacked! Tensions heighten to the point of developing into a skirmish. However, each of the clique leaders cannot help but feel something is off about the entire situation. Eventually, the repercussions reach all the way to the school’s two Level 5’s! Misaka’s first-year arc comes to a tumultuous climax that brings in the entire student body of Tokiwadai Middle School!

A RETURN TO FIRST YEAR

A fight breaks out among Tokiwadai Middle School’s three biggest cliques! At first, Mikoto has no interest in the drama, but after meeting with the leaders of each (and running into free-spirited Ruri, who isn’t affiliated with any clique, yet has the interest of all three), she suddenly finds her school life taking a turn!

NO ESCAPE Kimi and her crew have taken over the Reformatory and abducted Uiharu. Their goal? To force her to construct a global network that will allow them to release Academy City’s hidden ability development technology and throw the world into chaos! But behind this sinister plan lies a dark secret from Kimi’s past. Will Mikoto be able to rescue her friend before it’s too late?!

ENTER THE DRAGON Uiharu, winner of the Jailbreak Challenge, has been kidnapped! In order to save her, Mikoto, Kuroko, and Saten must confront Shundan Kimi’s accomplices, who have taken control of the Reformatory with the help of the recently freed Kimi herself. Do Uiharu’s friends have what it takes to overcome Kimi’s newfound ability?

WHO WANTS TO BE A BILLIONAIRE? Academy City’s newest corrections facility offers a dark bargain: The Jailbreak Challenge. It’s said that anyone who runs the dangerous gauntlet of security systems, rescues their target from imprisonment, and escapes with both their lives intact is entitled to an impressive prize: One billion yen. Cash. Deep in the trials of the Challenge, Mikoto, Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten find themselves up against desperate odds–as well as every force in Academy City with an eye for the prize.

BODY AND SOUL Kuriba Ryoko’s Doppelgänger–the by product of a cyborg experiment that may have generated a human soul–has run amok, and Misaka may be the only one who can stop it. Misaka’s unlikely team-up with the girls of Scavenger could be the key to uncovering the truth inside the Doppelgänger. The explosive conclusion to the Dream Ranker Arc!

The New York Times bestselling SF manga series continues. Welcome to a world where mysticism and science collide, and supernatural powers are derived from either science or religion. At the heart of this world is Academy City, an advanced metropolis whose population is comprised mostly of students. The majority of students are enrolled in the city’s “Power Curriculum Program,” where they must learn to master their latent psychic powers. Out of several million students, only seven are deemed powerful enough to have Level 5 status. Meet Mikoto Misaka, the third most powerful Level 5 esper in Academy City. Together with her best friend Kuroko Shirai and the other members of Judgment, a student-run law enforcement agency, Mikoto delves deep into the dark heart of the scientific sprawl she calls home and uncovers secrets she wishes she hadn’t! The “Certain” franchise began with the long-running light novel series A Certain Magical Index, which was adapted into both a manga and an anime series. Its spin-off, A Certain Scientific Railgun, became a breakout hit with a better selling manga and higher rated anime series.

BRAIN DRAIN! In this pulse-pounding climax to the Daihasei Festival Arc, Misaka’s allies split up to fight their own battles. Friend and foe and even mild acquaintances team up to save the only thing they all share in common-Academy City. With the giant brain Exterior thrown into the mix, this fight is a real puzzler! In the meantime, the doomsday clock has started ticking…and Misaka’s time is almost up!

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS While searching for answers and her missing “Sister,” Misaka finds herself facing a new ruthless enemy who takes her mother and Uihara as hostages! But when this new foe accuses Misaka of crimes she never committed, Misaka is left wondering exactly who she’s fighting and why. At least Kuroko and Saten are willing to help, despite their impaired memories…but even that isn’t enough to get to the bottom of this mystery. Misaka may have to turn to a very unlikely ally for help!

AMBUSHED!! The Daihasei Festival may be all fun and games (and explosions), but the chaos of the competition also serves as a distraction. A dank conspiracy lurks behind the event, and it ensnares one of Misaka’s “sisters.” When Misaka tries to investigate, the enemy proves to be more complicated–and ruthless–than she first guesed. Judgment is cripped. Misaka’s back may be up against a wall, but some of her other friends prove to be powerhouses in their own right. A Certain Scientific Railgun now on DVD!
