Telepathic Wanderers – Upright Journey of Indigo Generation.
Many stories talk about indigo generation with all their supernatural powers trying to stay on the line with the world nowadays, from extreme point of view like X-Men until base-on-facts story like X-Files. Most stories come in horror or action not many of them really dig into how the person handles their powers to its surrounding environment which make theme stay aware and sane.
Telepathic Wanderers give us an honest picture on how a beautiful young lady with the ability to hear mind of another try to overcome her anxiety in hearing things that she don’t need to hear, the manga describe clearly how guys have a dirty mind about ladies and she is hardly trying to ignore those sounds when she is facing them in public places, this condition make her more comfort near guys with no evil mind like nerd or childish person.
Further stories shows more people with powers like telekinetic, time travel, clairvoyance, future-connection, etc. All this people are interact one another with interesting plot on saving others lives. Some interesting moment when she mixed up between saving lives of hundred in a train accident and hiding her power, what she can only do is ask kindly and bow to the passenger near her to took off with her in the station before the accident occur even she knows that it convince no one.
Unfortunately the ending somehow flaws when there are group of people who tried to eradicate people like her from this world, and comes a theory about disturbances of nature balance causing by the existence of indigo, then the story become more less like X-files.
This story created by Yasutaka Tsutsui and drawn by Yamazaki Sayaka, I have not found other manga by these guys. But this title truly amazes me on how honest they describe a human mind.
“Once you can see into people’s minds… it’s impossible not to know their darkest thoughts. (Nanase Hida, Telepathic Wanderers, 2001)
