Tokyo ESP was a series with a perfectly fine story about people who manifested powers for mysterious reasons becoming super heroes. However, it is a story that suffered flub after flub from a seemingly uninterested anime adaptation team.

Where To Start The Tokyo ESP Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Tokyo ESP anime and want to continue the story with the manga, you can start at Chapter 27.
It is strongly recommended to read the Tokyo ESP manga from the beginning.
As a note, the anime adapts up to Volume 7 of the manga, but the official English translations condensed this 16 volume manga down to 8 volumes, Chapter 27 is in the beginning of Volume 4.
What to Expect From The Tokyo ESP Manga?
Tokyo ESP is considered a bad anime adaptation for a myriad of reasons. It had bland art compared to the manga, poor animation quality, poor pacing, cut character develop, characters introduced with no explanation or reason – to name only a few flaws.
That said, while you should definitely just read the manga from the beginning for a better story experience, they did keep the core plot of the story pretty intact in the anime. However, due to the many small things that were cut, it may be difficult to continue forward.
Is The Tokyo ESP Manga Over?
The Tokyo ESP manga is complete. It ended in 2016 with Chapter 77.
You can also enjoy the single volume spin-off light novel Tokyo ESP Gaiden: London ESP following Azuma Minami.
How is Tokyo ESP Related to Ga-Rei Zero?
You may occasionally see Tokyo ESP mentioned in relation to Ga-Rei Zero. However, while the Tokyo ESP series and Ga-Rei series share the same author, the two series are unrelated. They aren’t even set in the same universe.
Outside of sharing the same author, characters from Ga-Rei Zero make small cameo appearances in the Tokyo ESP anime. However, those appearances are anime-original and not in the Tokyo ESP manga.
Both series do have a proper crossover in the Tokyo ESP X Ga-Rei: Shadow Walker manga. However, it is only five chapters long.
Will There Be A Tokyo ESP Season 2?
As both the Tokyo ESP anime and manga have been completed for quite a long time, there is virtually no chance of a Tokyo ESP Season 2 anime.
