A certain unlikely hero... It’s another exciting, messy time in Academy City as Uiharu repels a massive hacking attack on the data banks. Elsewhere, Hamazura, Hanzou, and Komaba speed away from the scene of their most recent crime, only to quickly regret their choices after one cop makes it her life’s mission to catch them—no matter the cost in property damage. Meanwhile, in the dark underbelly of the vaunted scientific city, Hanzou must come to terms with his dark lineage or face the consequences. And in that same shadowy world, several Misaka Sisters have gathered for their next mission to…look up their horoscopes?
Kamachi Kazuma (鎌池和馬) is a Japanese-born light novel author and the original creator of the Toaru Majutsu no Index light novel series and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, its spin-off manga series.
A collection of underwhelming short stories. The random slice of life segments felt like filler, and the “uncut gems” segments, while conceptually interesting for future stories, were pretty dull to read.
Although this side story delves into a lot of interesting things such as the introduction of Sogiita, Mikoto's father meeting Touma's father and the idea of gemstones in contrast to normal esper powers, a lot of it was really long and draggy imo so it eventually got quite boring to read as a whole.
