Despite being a magical school, it seems like it is not all fun and games, which kinds of strike a chord with us who attended regular schools. Students are competitive and those who do not do well are branded as losers and placed in the lowest-tier class with the worst furnishings that makes the environment unconducive for studying. All in all, the series is focused on its comedy aspect, so expect to laugh even when it is a battle between the magical beasts!

Determined to prove her worth, she wants to summon a powerful familiar but instead gets a seemingly weak boy named Saito.

Due to some unfortunate event, he is challenged to a duel by an A-ranker named Stella Vermillion.

In the magical school, Ikki is dubbed as the worst student but while it may seem like Stella would easily defeat Ikki, there is more than meets the eye. So somehow, the story does not run away from the cliché that usually the strongest character would end up getting stronger and turns out to be strongest. One of the highlights in Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry is its magic battle tournaments, which shounen fans would love.

Sakura Kinomoto is a 10-year-old girl who comes across a book containing cards. They are actually magical cards known as Clow Cards and Sakura accidentally releases them.

Magic is not only for those who believe in alternative practice as it works with applied science in Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei. Tatsuya Shiba is a magician who acts as a bodyguard for his sister, Miyuki Shiba. Both the siblings will be studying at the First High School which is a school for magicians. Depending on the entrance exam scores, students are placed in different classes such as Blooms for the elites, and Weeds for the worst scorers. Despite his talent, Tatsuya is categorized as Weeds.
This is a story about an underrated magic wielder. Tatsuya is actually considered pretty overpowered so it is ridiculous that he is not placed among the elite rank. This situation rings a bell with the common school system that does not seem to recognize different talents among students, so students in the worst classes are always deemed as untalented or unintelligent. The series is pretty unique in that it combines futuristic technology with magic. Another thing not to be missed in the series is school magic competitions!

Disappointingly, after she and her 2 best friends, Lotte Yansson and Sucy Manbavaran, enrolls in the academy, Akko finds out that Shiny Chariot is not really that popular after all.

In school, it is common to admire a person and wish to be like him or her, but after finding out more about that individual, usually we see more flaws and do not have such strong admiration anymore. That’s the experience of Akko after she joins the magical school. Akko is just a regular human being like us, yet she gets to enroll into a magical school, which kind of reflects our situation of being a normal human who desires a magical school life. Aside from the different types of magic, the witches are dressed in the stereotypical witch garb and hat.
