Rather than having this spread all over, I thought I'd try and keep it all linked in one place ^^b This is my translation of the information on the drama OHP and any articles that caught my attention. Some of it links to my dreamwidth (tagged [DW]), because I've had some things done for a while and can't be bothered crossposting to LJ, lol :x (you can log into dw with your lj as open-ID btw, if you want to comment there)
Disclaimer : I'm not fluent in Japanese, if you see a mistake please tell me so I can correct it. It's possible I might have misunderstood something, and sometimes things make perfect sense in Japanese but I can't think of a good way to word it in English ^^;
NOTE: There could be spoilers, especially in the episode summaries.
Introduction Living in Tokyo's Hachiouji, Dogami Tetsu is a regular male high school student who has somehow come to only fantasize about his childhood friend Kasumi.
However, on his 17th birthday, magic that reads the hearts of people that he touches is awakened. Before the bewildered Tetsu, 4 guys wearing hero suits appeared. When they took off the suits, they were his missing older brother Taku's childhood friends!
As "virgins" only they can use "magic" to control criminals as champions of justice, as that magic has just awoken in Tetsu they ask him to join their team. Tetsu, confused upon hearing his older brother who disappeared a year ago also used magic, refuses their invitation and leaves, but after hearing his brother's feelings about it from his brother's best friend Date Tsutomu, it strengthens his resolve to fight alongside them...!

NOTES: ※ I'm not completely sure about the name of the ramen shop. ※ the "Evil DT" are literally called "fairies" (妖精/yousei) throughout the drama, but it's not the Tinkerbell kind xD; I think it's meant more as just "magical people" generally.
