絶対可憐チルドレン
Psychic Squad
In a world where ESP is common, only three people have them at the highest possible level. Those three are the special ESP team, The Children. The Children work for BABEL, a special ESPer organization committed to stopping crimes before they happen. Kouichi Minamoto is assigned to watch over them, and he'll need to, because three superpowered ten-year-olds are a problem on their own. (Source: Sentai Filmworks)
