Mousou Telepathy is about a high school girl named Ayako Nakano with telepathic abilities that allow her to 'hear' the thoughts of those around her. Through this ability, she is aware of a certain boy (Hayato Toda) who does nothing but fantasise about her all day and doing lewd things to her while sitting with an expressionless face in front of her. It's hilarious watching her at first repulsed by his dirty mind but growing to like him back.

I loved Hayato's dramatic and exaggerated reactions concerning every action that Ayako did, though it was all in his head, and only Ayako could see. Most things ... he thought about were naughty but you could tell he really cared about her through some tender moments that made me go 'kyaa~!' (such as the fact that he loved her no matter what she did and was constantly devising ways to get closer to her). I loved how socially awkward Ayako was (her every emotion was displayed clearly on her face), and the strong bond between her and Manami Azuma (especially due to Mana's cute and small outer appearance but strong heart).

The cute, simplistic art with vibrant colours representing thoughts but black and white regarding all else I felt breathed life into the 4-koma structure. Before I knew it, I'd already read the whole thing and was impatiently waiting for more! I really felt drawn into the story, and I loved how some serious issues such as differences in opinions that negatively affected relationships and the desire to change oneself was explored in a light (as one could be) and interesting manner that I felt barely detracted from the humour.

I would recommend this to those who like simple and light-hearted romantic comedies that delve into issues concerning relationships and thinking about the future in a comedic way, but be prepared to see the full extent of a horny teenage boy's (and girl's hehe) imagination.

I read the manga before watching the anime, and actually didn't realise the anime existed until I discovered it while I was scrolling through Netflix. I was sooo excited because I already found the manga to be the epitome of hilarity, and I was looking forward to watching the anime. And I must say, the anime was amazing. Great humour, lovable and memorable characters, short but interesting plot lines, what's not to love?

The main character Saiki Kusuo is a highschool boy with extraordinary psychic powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, invisibility, shape shifting, psychometry, and much, much more (he's literally got, like, every power imaginable) ... but he wants to lead a normal life. He finds his powers bothersome, and throwing in absurd characters such as Nendou (the idiot), Kaido (the chuunibyou) and Teruhashi (the pretty girl), his peaceful life is interrupted daily in absurd situations that are sure to make you laugh out loud. I loved Saiki's pragmatic responses to his companions' actions and the circumstances he finds himself in.

The anime was split into short parts that I felt was the perfect length as it kept the comedic plot lines simple but also effectively delivered the punchlines. The art wasn't perfect, but I almost didn't notice it because of the hilarious story. There were some parts of the manga that wasn't included in the anime, but I think the animation and voices and sound more than made up for it (I loved the little jazzy sound segues between each part!).

10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves pure, simple comedy. If you like a more complex plot line (ie. a main villain or troublesome situation that lasts more than a few episodes tops), I don't think this would be the one for you.
