Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School) is a Japanese web novel series by Tsutomu Satou. It was published on Shosetsuka ni Naro, an internet web novel website, between October 2008 and March 2011. Satou reached a deal with Dengeki Bunko and began releasing his work in a light novel format beginning July 2011. The story takes place in an alternate history where magic exists and is polished through technology and follows Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba, siblings who enroll in First High magic high school. While keeping their connections to the infamous Yotsuba clan secret, they attempt to live their daily life in peace where Tatsuya is shunned for his apparent ineptness and Miyuki is validated for her magical abilities.

In 2013, each story arc received a manga adaptation with varying manga artists and publishers. That same year, an anime adaptation by Madhouse was announced and was broadcast between April and September 2014. The Irregular at Magic High School franchise had been localized for English by two companies: The light novels and one of the manga adaptations are licensed by Yen Press while Aniplex of America licensed the anime series. The anime series was simulcasted on four networks and was later made available on Netflix. An anime film featuring an original story by Satou premiered in Japan on June 17, 2017, while a second season taking place after the anime series is scheduled to premiere in 2020.

The series has been well received. The light novels appeared on Sugoi Japan’s 2015 polls and since 2011, is one of the top-selling series in Japan with 7.7 million copies sold as of 2017. In addition, its manga and anime adaptations also appeared on top-selling charts. English reviewers had mixed to negative reception towards the anime adaptation. The complex technicality of magic within the series was received warmly but the exposition was criticized for being heavy, unclear, and poorly executed.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei synopsis:

Magic is a product of neither legends nor fairy tales, but instead has become a technology of reality since a time unknown to people. Supernatural power became a technology systematized through magic, while magic became a technical skill. A “Supernatural Power User” became a “Magic Technician.” Magic Technicians (in short, Magicians) are nurtured through Magic High Schools and Universities.

This is a story about:

Tatsuya, a defective elder brother low achiever.
Miyuki, a perfect, flawless younger sister high achiever.
After both siblings entered a Magic High School,
The stage of daily turbulence was unveiled—.
