Synopsis
During a Literature Club meeting, the four club members—along with their faculty adviser's niece—suddenly find themselves with supernatural powers. Now capable of fabricating black flames, resident chuunibyou Jurai Andou is the most ecstatic about their new abilities; unfortunately, his own is only for show and unable to accomplish anything of substance.

AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalSuperpowers crash a literature club, but teenage drama still writes the real story.
When the Literature Club’s weekly meeting is interrupted by a sudden surge of otherworldly energy, five ordinary high‑schoolers are thrust into a world of flamboyant powers. Jurai Andō, the club’s resident chūnibyō, can summon eerie black flames—though they’re more theatrical than useful—while his friends quickly outshine him. Tomoyo Kanzaki discovers she can bend time, pausing moments or rewinding brief seconds with a flick of her pen. Hatoko Kushikawa, Jurai’s childhood confidante, commands the five classical elements, turning a simple tea‑break into a miniature storm. Club president Sayumi Takanashi gains a miracle‑hand, capable of mending broken gadgets and even patching up injuries, while Chifuyu Himeki, the advisor’s enigmatic niece, can conjure solid objects from thin air, turning imagination into reality. Despite their newfound abilities, the group’s routine remains stubbornly mundane. Exams still loom, cafeteria lunches stay bland, and the club’s literary discussions continue unabated—now peppered with occasional reality‑bending mishaps. As the mystery behind their powers deepens, the students juggle homework, friendship, and the occasional accidental time loop, all while trying not to let their supernatural antics disrupt the fragile balance of everyday school life.
