A Certain Magical Index
Touma Kamijou is a student living in Academy City, a highly advanced place in terms of technology.

Touma finds a young girl named Index who is trying to run away from Necessarius, a powerful magic organization that she is member of. Blessed with the skill of memorizing any sort of information, she holds 103,000 forbidden magical books within her head.
