LatestHaving finished his special training at Camelot, Takeshi returns home to find Gekkou emerging from their house with Twilight gripped in his right hand—dripping with blood. The nightmarish vision Takeshi had once seen through Twilight's power has finally come to pass. Gekkou claims that he struck down their mother in self-defense. Unable to suppress his rage at seeing his loved ones hurt any longer, Takeshi finally finds the heart to battle Gekkou decisively.
Takeshi Nanase is an ordinary high school boy who has a somewhat dark past. One day, he comes across a girl named Mui Aiba, in a uniform he has never seen before, collapsed on the school campus. This encounter changes his destiny completely. She tells Takeshi that she is a magician, and she apologizes, for she turned Takeshi into a magician, too. What Takeshi once knew as one world is actually two — the world where magicians live and the world where humans live.
Acting
Mamoru Miyano somehow commits to this nonsense with full dramatic gravity.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The light novel series ran for 12 volumes, but the anime adapts only the first two and invents its own ending. The author reportedly disliked it.
This aired during the peak 'magic high school' boom when every studio cloned The Irregular at Magic High School. It did not win.
