Takane Tsubomi

Tsubomi Takane is the most admired girl at Salt Middle School and the longtime crush of protagonist Shigeo Kageyama, who has known her since childhood. Despite her widespread popularity, she remains refreshingly independent and never follows the crowd. Notably, she holds no fascination with psychic powers and consistently treats Shigeo as an ordinary person—nothing more, nothing less. This genuine indifference to his esper abilities becomes the very spark that drives Shigeo to push his physical limits and strive to be remarkable as a regular human being.
