On March 26, 2025, Square Enix’s Monthly G Fantasy magazine confirmed that the The Irregular at Magic High School manga will conclude on April 18, 2025. This storyline follows the Masaki Ichijō Transfers Schools Arc, which is part of the larger Master Clan Conference Arc from the original light novel series. The manga is skillfully illustrated by Hazumi Takeda.
The light novel editions were serialized from 2011 through 2020, encompassing a total of 32 volumes, with 24 available in English. Each arc has spawned its own manga adaptations, and the series has also inspired several anime adaptations across multiple seasons.
Finale Approaches for The Irregular at Magic High School Manga
Initiated on November 18, 2024, Hazumi Takeda’s manga adaptation is set to wrap up in the forthcoming April issue of Monthly G Fantasy. The narrative focuses on the Masaki Ichijō Transfers Schools Arc, which draws heavily from the light novel’s overarching themes.
In addition to Takeda, other talented manga artists have contributed to various arcs of the light novel series. Notably, a spin-off titled The Honor Student at Magic High School has also gained popularity and received an anime adaptation by Studio Connect.
The original light novel series was adapted into an anime, with the first season premiering on April 5, 2014, during the Spring 2014 Anime Season. This adaptation saw collaboration between two prominent animation studios: Madhouse and Eightbit.
The anime has produced three seasons along with two movies, and another film is anticipated to release in Winter 2026. The series features beloved characters, including Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba, voiced by Saori Hayami (known for her role as Yor in Spy X Family) and Yuuichi Nakamura (from Blue Lock), respectively.
Overview of The Irregular at Magic High School
The Irregular at Magic High School is a captivating romance-fantasy series set in a future where magic is commonplace and not particularly extraordinary. The story revolves around the Shiba siblings, Tatsuya and Miyuki, who enroll in the elite First High School.
However, their journey is far from straightforward as they are separated due to Tatsuya’s limited magical affinity. Despite this setback, Tatsuya leverages his extensive knowledge of magic to ascend in the school’s hierarchy and achieve a position in the student council. The story poses a compelling question: how far can an irregular in a world of magic go without any innate magical powers?
