SynopsisDuring a flashback, an interviewer inquires Kuzumi Taiga, a prospective student for Seinagi Private High School, on what he would do if he could use magic, during his entrance interview. He replies, "take over the world", with an outburst of laughter, from an attractive girl, following his answer. After the entrance exam, the school rejects his application; although he recalls almost nothing after this event, he does recall the girl, and believes the cause of his school of choice rejecting his application involves her.
Wandering around outside of the school the next day, Kuzumi tries to enter, but an invisible barrier blocks him. A teacher, Mr. Hiiragi, confuses Kuzumi for a student of the school ditching class and pulls Kuzumi into the school through the barrier.
Seinagi Private High School is actually a magic school; Kuzumi is a teenager with no magical skill. Mr. Hiiragi has just accidentally pulled Kuzumi through the barrier into Seinagi Private High School, a magic school. (Source: B-U Manga) |

Both Rosario+Vampire and Mx0 are high school Supernatural, Rom/Coms; but R+V focuses more on monsters and the romantic comedy side of things, on the other hand Mx0 focuses more on its characters and magical wizardry. ^_^
Mx0 and Rosario+Vampire is quite similar. In Mx0, the main character has to lie about being able to use magic. In R+V, the main character has to hide the fact that he's human. Both manga are school-based. A sense of romance is also hinted in both - more so in the case of R+V.
However, Mx0 is more light hearted compared to R+V. Nonetheless, the similarities are quite presenting.
While the supernatural settings are different, it involves the same situation in where the male protaganist must hide his image from school.

when i first saw this, immediately thought of Mx0. Both are about a boy trying to help their special someone by gaining high magic power.
Immortal Regis and Mx0 are both school-based Supernatural, Shounen manga about their protagonist, trying to acquire something to reach their goal. ^_^

The story follows your not-so-typical delinquent student (Taiga Kuzumi) who wasn’t able to get into “Seinagi Private High School” and he believes it’s the cause of a cer...tain girl (Aika Hiiragi) during the interview. So he breaks into the school to meet her again but he’s surprised to discover that it is a magic school and after a hilarious twist of events he ends up transferring as a student of the school. Not so surprising for a shounen manga and this would have been your average Rom/Com if it wasn’t for the well implemented supernatural element & awesome characters. The story’s set up so well and in between the usual high school antics are a bunch of mini arcs, lasting a couple chapters, which focus on a particular story or event (exams, matches, training, etc). However for whatever reason, this manga was canned, just when things were getting real interesting so the ending may feel rushed.
The characters consist of the typical personalities found in your average high school comedy but that isn’t entirely a bad thing, as they all are integral parts that make up this story. Of course Taiga Kuzumi is the male protagonist that it all revolves around and you’ll remember him for being the greatest fraudster/trickster ever. Seeing him go through hell and still come out on top is a great experience. What’s more is that he manages to surprise us with his intuitive thinking, whilst never forgetting to make a witty comment or try to act cool. However what’s odd is that the love interest is just an ordinary girl instead of the usual hottie found in shounen material. At least it allows Taiga Kuzumi to stand out.
The quality of the artwork is great, with this manga having decently drawn backgrounds/environments and the character designs are brilliant and somewhat imaginative. However when things get very action oriented, the artwork gets pretty messy, making some situations hard to follow.
Overall Mx0 is a hilarious and highly enjoyable Action Rom/Com with an incredibly diverse Supernatural side to it, having a lot of thought put into the Magic System. The story is amazing because it is set out, in a way that the reader is taken on a ride and will never stop rooting for the main character. Nonetheless this type of magic school thing has been done already, yet if you don’t mind then you are sure to enjoy all the magical fun. This is definitely a manga worthy of an animated adaptation, so be sure to check it out, even though you may be saddened by the abrupt ending.

Jul 21, 200899 of ? chapters read 23 of 30 people found this review helpful MxO is a Shounen-based series that revolves the protaganist Kuzumi Taiga attending a private high school that is mainly kept in secret to the public as a magic school. Even though he has no magic ability, Kuzumi attends the school as a student and holds a false image to others of being a great magician.
When it comes to a Shounen-based series, readers can certainly be familiar with the same material being presented in this manga so it is not all that original. However, the story... is very entertaining and certainly worth the time in reading. Even though the protaganist Kuzumi has no magic ability in the beginning, he certainly provides good intellect and a strong moral in getting out of his many obstacles. It goes without saying that no matter how great Kuzumi is at a disadvantage, he certainly can surprise many readers from his results as the protaganist to the series. It is very unfortunate to see the story finish from its abrupt ending, although in this reviewer's mind it was consider a somewhat appropriate closure.
Besides the protaganist, several characters also manage to bring something to MxO. There are certain parts of the story that allow some characters to play a necessary factor when it doesn't involve the protaganist himself which manages to make the story entertaining in its aspects. There are other instances that the protaganist is involve to bring encouragement in order to build a character's confidence. As for the artwork, there are good basic drawings of the characters so readers can certainly enjoy some imaging placed from the manga.
For readers that are interested in seeing an entertaining storyline and a likable protaganist, MxO is one manga that surely will not disappoint despite its abrupt ending.

Jun 13, 200899 of ? chapters read 13 of 17 people found this review helpful One of the funniest manga I have read. Story could be slightly better, although it is still on a very high level. Art is very clear and indeed "great". You don't stop at one point thinking "what was that? what jus happened? did I miss something...?". Every fight, every move is shown. Characters in Mx0 are going to be remebered by you for a long time. Mostly the main character Kuzumi Taiga, but also others are developed physically and mentally. And the enjoyment of the series ...is undoubtful. Every time there's something going on and so you have no occasion to be bored.
To sum up, Mx0 is a clash of romance, magic, school life and good old fashioned hand to hand combat, all in good quantity, which is almost the best mix-up. The biggest minus of the series is that it was cancelled and met its ultimate end on 99th chapter. read more
