“Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei” plunges us into a world where magic has ceased to be mere folklore and has become a meticulously taught science and technology. At the First High School, an elite institution for magicians, students are sorted into two categories: the “Flourishing”, who stand out with high scores and are assigned to the prestigious First Grade, and the “Bad”, reserve students destined for the Second Grade.
At the heart of this story, we follow siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba, who enter high school. Despite being prodigious in magic, Miyuki is placed in the First Grade, while Tatsuya, despite his exceptional skills in physical combat, advanced technical knowledge and unique magical techniques, is relegated to the Second Grade due to his low score in the theoretical exams.
As the Shiba brothers face the challenges of school, the narrative delves into the complexities of a hierarchical and discriminatory system, exploring Tatsuya’s struggle against the stigma of being considered a magical “weed.” With political intrigue, student rivalries and hidden secrets, “Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei” offers a unique experience by combining elements of science fiction, magic and drama, highlighting Tatsuya’s ability to defy expectations and prove his worth in a seemingly rigorous magical world.
