Haruka Kotoura

Haruka Kotoura (琴浦 春香, Kotōra Haruka) is the main protagonist of the anime The Troubled Life of Ms. Kotoura. She is the daughter of Onozaki Kotoura and Kumiko Kotoura, who was born with the psychic ability to read everyone's minds. Because she did mpt understand this ability as a little girl, she would often blurt out what people were thinking, which caused her to be hated by her classmates, her teachers, and her parents. The constant fear of losing those important to her had left her alone and unwilling to let anyone get close to her. That is, until the day she meets Yoshihisa Manabe.
She was voiced by in Japanese.
==Overview==
Small, cute and kindhearted, Haruka Kotoura could have lived an simple, uneventful life like many anime heroines before her. The catch is, she's born telepathic in an universe that muggles don't believe in psychics. To make it worse, she can't turn it off, nor can she distinguish between speech and thoughts well, in a country with a tradition of hiding one's mind by lying as socially appropriate.
Eventually her classmates ostracize her for blurting out their secrets innocently, even accusing her of being a compulsive liar. She causes her parents to divorce by blurting out they are cheating on each other. Her mother, who had been quite protective of her, decides that Haruka is ruining her life and disowns her. This is enough to break little Haruka, as she does not understand why people hate her. Later on, after she discovers she has been mind-reading all along, she becomes broken enough to decide she's actually a Doom Magnet that will bring despair to everything she's close to (having a cat taken to a shelter for euthanasia by an insensitive old lady doesn't help), and decides maintain a emotionless facade so that she can be alone.
She transfers to a new high school and ends up sitting next to Yoshihisa Manabe, a boy who hides nothing—perversion included. With him, she starts to have a more normal life (with romance on the side) while continuing to come to terms with her powers and her past.
