Toaru Kagaku no Railgun OVA

"Since Misaka-san is the Center of Attention Right Now..." (御坂さんはいま注目の的ですから) is the first OVA for the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime series. It was first released on October 29, 2010.

Synopsis
In Judgment Branch 177 Office, to repay for what everyone has done to help her, Mikoto treats everyone with cakes and pastries from Pasticceria Manicagni and Kuroko becomes the receiving end of a relaxing massage from her roommate.

Soon, they talk about Asako's crimes, which is part of revenge for being fired as Power Development Manager of Nagatenjouki, which in turn, receives the pressuring task of producing a Level 5. Kuroko later talks about how Uiharu and Saten did their best in their part. Uiharu then talks about Kuroko's dedication to protect Mikoto, watching her every move (which brought up unexpected results); Kuroko tries to deny her claim, but Mikoto finaly realizes that the "Someone's Watching" urban legend cannot happen inside Tokiwadai, and Kuroko is in fact to blame for her uneasiness on-campus.

Because of this, Kuroko receives another flurry of Mikoto's electric attacks.
