It was serialized in Shogakukan's {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} manga magazine ''Weekly Shōnen Sunday'' from July 2005 to July 2021, with its chapters collected in 63 {{Transliteration|ja|tankōbon}} volumes. It is the story about three young problem girls with outstanding psychic powers and a young man with no special powers at all tasked to guide them properly while dealing with all the commotions they cause, including their obvious infatuation with him.
A 51-episode anime television series produced by SynergySP was broadcast from April 2008 to March 2009, and had a special original video animation (OVA) released in July 2010. A 12-episode spin-off focused on main antagonist Kyōsuke Hyōbu, titled ''Unlimited Psychic Squad'', and produced by Manglobe, was broadcast from January to March 2013.
By July 2012, the manga had over 6 million copies in circulation. In 2022, ''Psychic Squad'' received the 53rd Seiun Award for Best Comic.
==Plot== In the future, as people with ESP increase in numbers, so does the possible good and evil they can cause to society. The Japanese government establishes of the '''Ba'''se of '''B'''acking '''E'''SP '''L'''aboratory (B.A.B.E.L.) a special esper organization tasked with dealing with situations that can't be resolved by ordinary means, including dealing with espers engaged in criminal activity. Kōichi Minamoto, a 20-year-old prodigy is assigned by B.A.B.E.L. to the task of supervising the most powerful espers in the country, a trio of gifted but mischievous 10-year-old girls known as "The Children": Kaoru Akashi, Shiho Sannomiya, and Aoi Nogami.
As the series progresses, The Children and Minamoto must deal with several enemy organizations, each with conflicted views regarding the role of espers in the world, including "P.A.N.D.R.A.", a cadre of rogue espers determined to wage war against the rest of mankind, the "Black Phantom", a mercenary organization who brainwashes espers into living tools of destruction and the "Normal People", composed solely of non-esper individuals who view espers only as a threat to be vanquished.
==Media== ===Manga=== Written and illustrated by Takashi Shiina, ''Zettai Karen Children'' was developed out of a short story he had written in Shogakukan's {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} manga magazine ''Shōnen Sunday Super'' in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|last=Loo|first=Egan|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-01-05/zettai-karen-children-manga-gets-spring-tv-anime|title=Zettai Karen Children Manga Gets Spring TV Anime|website=Anime News Network|date=January 5, 2008|access-date=June 10, 2020|quote=11 compiled volumes have been published since the manga began as a one-shot short story in 2003.|archive-date=January 23, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210123070620/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-01-05/zettai-karen-children-manga-gets-spring-tv-anime|url-status=live}}</ref> A four-chapter story was then published in ''Weekly Shōnen Sunday'' in September 2004.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mediaarts-db.bunka.go.jp/id/M577565|script-title=ja:週刊少年サンデー 2004年 表示号数39|website=Media Arts Database|publisher=Agency for Cultural Affairs|access-date=September 9, 2020|language=ja|archive-date=September 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909083421/https://mediaarts-db.bunka.go.jp/id/M577565|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://mediaarts-db.bunka.go.jp/id/M577562|script-title=ja:週刊少年サンデー 2004年 表示号数42|website=Media Arts Database|publisher=Agency for Cultural Affairs|access-date=September 9, 2020|language=ja|archive-date=September 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909083744/https://mediaarts-db.bunka.go.jp/id/M577562|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Zettai Karen Children'' was serialized for 16 years in ''Weekly Shōnen Sunday'', from July 13, 2005,<ref>{{cite web|script-title=ja:椎名高志 Vol.9／2005年7月13日|url=http://www.websunday.net/backstage/siina.html|website=Web Sunday|publisher=Shogakukan|access-date=January 28, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050817221532/http://www.websunday.net/backstage/siina.html|archive-date=August 17, 2005|language=ja|date=July 13, 2005}}</ref>{{efn|It started in the magazine's 33rd issue of 2005 (cover date July 27),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mediaarts-db.bunka.go.jp/id/M577522|script-title=ja:週刊少年サンデー 2005年 表示号数33|website=Media Arts Database|publisher=Agency for Cultural Affairs|access-date=March 25, 2020|language=ja|archive-date=March 26, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200326003254/https://mediaarts-db.bunka.go.jp/id/M577522|url-status=live}}</ref> released on July 13 of that same year.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=ja:「週刊少年サンデー」新連載情報|url=https://comiclove.at.infoseek.co.jp/zakki_log/zakki200507.htm|website=Ultimatum|access-date=August 29, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060102102018/http://comiclove.at.infoseek.co.jp/zakki_log/zakki200507.htm#20050706|archive-date=January 2, 2006|language=ja|date=July 6, 2005|quote={{lang|ja|7/13発売の33号から椎名高志『絶対可憐チルドレン』が新連載開始。}}}}</ref>}} to July 14, 2021.<ref>{{cite web|last=Pineda|first=Rafael Antonio|title=Zettai Karen Children Manga Ends on July 14 After 16 Years|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-07-01/zettai-karen-children-manga-ends-on-july-14-after-16-years/.174645|website=Anime News Network|access-date=July 1, 2021|date=July 1, 2021|archive-date=July 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210710211034/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-07-01/zettai-karen-children-manga-ends-on-july-14-after-16-years/.174645|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|script-title=ja:絶対可憐チルドレン：「サンデー」人気マンガが17年の歴史に幕 テレビアニメ化も話題に|url=https://mantan-web.jp/article/20210713dog00m200042000c.html|website=Mantan Web|access-date=July 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210713233745/https://mantan-web.jp/article/20210713dog00m200042000c.html|archive-date=July 13, 2021|language=ja|date=July 14, 2021|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|script-title=ja:少年サンデー ２０２１年３３号|url=https://comics.shogakukan.co.jp/magazine?cd=2066407121|publisher=Shogakukan|access-date=July 13, 2021|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210713222037/https://comics.shogakukan.co.jp/magazine?cd=2066407121|archive-date=July 13, 2021|language=ja|url-status=live}}</ref> Shogakukan collected its 622 individual chapters in sixty-three {{Transliteration|ja|tankōbon}} volumes, released from October 18, 2005,<ref name="vol1"/> to September 17, 2021.<ref name="vol63"/>
