Charlotte

Charlotte is an original TV anime produced by P.A.WORKS, conceived and series-composed by Jun Maeda. Blending comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi, and supernatural elements, the series follows teenagers who possess mysterious abilities that vanish as they grow up—a fleeting power that shapes their entire world. Directed by Yoshiyuki Asai, the story centers on Yuu Otosaka and Nao Tomori as they navigate the bittersweet realities of youth and extraordinary circumstance. With Jun Maeda's signature emotionally charged storytelling at its core, Charlotte delivers a compelling mix of humor, heartbreak, and high-stakes drama that keeps viewers hooked from start to finish.

In this world, a small number of adolescents develop extraordinary abilities during puberty—powers that set them apart from ordinary people. Yuu Otosaka is one such individual, carefully concealing his gift from those around him while maintaining the appearance of a completely unremarkable student life. Everything changes the day a girl named Nao Tomori unexpectedly steps into his world. Her arrival marks the beginning of a journey that will draw Yuu deeper into the hidden reality shared by others like him. Charlotte is a story about youth, secrets, and the unseen lives of those who carry abilities they never asked for—set against the backdrop of an otherwise ordinary school environment.
