Academy City develops psychic abilities scientifically, and middle-schooler Mikoto Misaka ranks third among its seven Level 5 espers. Her command of electricity has earned her the name Railgun, but her days are usually spent with friends rather than laboratories.

A wave of incidents linked to the rumored Level Upper device changes that. As users gain power through mysterious means, Mikoto and her friends uncover the human cost hidden beneath Academy City's polished image.
