Tome Kurata, a middle school student and president of Salt Middle School’s Telepathy Club, leads a group founded to investigate paranormal phenomena and extraterrestrial communication via telepathy. While her members favor video games and snacks over actual research, Tome remains steadfast in pursuing supernatural truths, recruiting alleged psychics like Shigeo Kageyama to bolster the club’s credibility. Brash and eccentric, she oscillates between calculated manipulation—deploying crocodile tears to sway others—and unexpected loyalty. During a school marathon, she pressures reluctant clubmates to support Shigeo, revealing her capacity for solidarity beneath her self-serving antics. This duality cements her as a flawed yet well-intentioned leader. Transitioning to high school, her fixation on the occult isolates her from peers she deems superficial—until discovering their concealed interests reshapes her worldview. Forced to confront her snap judgments, she gradually opens to forging bonds beyond her narrow assumptions. The *Reigen* spin-off sees her unofficially assisting Spirits and Such Consultation Office, chasing supernatural engagements despite lacking psychic talents. Her relentless enthusiasm frequently lands her in danger, highlighting the tension between her idealism and reality’s constraints. Romantic threads weave through her arc: unreciprocated feelings for Shigeo and obliviousness to classmate Origo Hoshida’s crush, who shares her paranormal zeal. Both subplots emphasize her laser focus on personal missions over romantic entanglements. Facing club disbandment, social estrangement, and existential uncertainty, Tome’s journey traces a path from obsessive club president to a more adaptable, socially attuned individual. Her growth mirrors adolescence’s turbulence, set against a backdrop where mundane and supernatural realms collide.
