Basically it's an universe where espers fight monsters and if they use their powers too much they may lose control of themselves. To prevent this there are the guides that as the name suggests guides/tranquilizes them. Guiding is done by touching the esper and the effectiveness can vary depending on the level of intimacy (an excuse for sex scenes). Also espers and guides are divided into ranks usually it goes from S to F or E (idr)
Here explanation -
It's basically differentiate on how authors wants to execute story with concept of guidvesere I will explain simply --
- Esper - is a person who has strongest powers (like fire , telepathy, water or things control type) they are like heroes in the world of monsters like there are monsters they fight government organize them and to control their power or not to let them rampage they need a person who will give them mind peace or calamity to their powers. Sometime esper without a guide become a empty shell so without his guide ,esper is in strongest needs for a guide.
- Guide - is a person who is meant to be with esper but his destination is simple he gives sense of calmness to his esper that's his work is not let to his esper rampage.
They don't become partners eventually cuz they are also divided in hierarchical order like S-rank esper are strongest they need same rank of guide to supervise them sometimes test are made to check if they suite each other if they suite that means they compadible enough strongest the Esper and match the strongest guide they needs to intimate with each other give esper sense of security or power control.
Sometimes guide playes the role of archive wheel for esper who is out of control so it's easier to handle him so people around them don't get injured. For an esper guide become his weakness and it's advantages or disadvantages both.
mostly this guidevese getting popular for making esper a dangerous person who are crazy mostly those are semes, they needs controler so it's important for them to have his own guide.
some guidverse also follow imprinting concept so they don't have to share each other with others especially for esper who are possesive or obsessive type.
Hii loves. Could someone please explain what guideverse is. I've wondered about this for a long time and I have yet to read any guideverse manga. I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I start. Also, any recommendations would be much appreciated!
