Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei? When I first heard of the title, I didn't expect something like this, especially when I heard its official English name, which was "The Irregular in the Magic High School." I thought it would be like some manga that'd be heavy on the action part, it might be later, but definitely not now.
Basic Plot: Tatsuya and his little sister Miyuki enrolls in a magic high school which puts emphasis on the practical part of magic. Tatsuya gets top grades in the written part of the entrance exam and Miyuki gets top grades in the practical part. In the end though, Miyuki gets placed in class 1; the elite class and Tatsuya gets placed in class 2; which is the reserve class.
Story: 8
So far, the development, if there is any has been pretty good. It had quite an impact on me since it made me feel that I wanted Tatsuya to be an elite instead of a reserve.
Art: 8
Art is very 'clean' as I should put it. My definition of clean is that you can clearly tell what's happening in a panel.
Character: 8
Even though I felt that Tatsuya should have been enraged because of his placement, he stayed cool. Instead, it was his sister that got enraged. He acted cool at that time and said that he was happy that Miyuki was angry for him. This is why I rated character an 8.
Enjoyment: 8
I enjoyed this very much. Its probably due to the feeling that I want to know what Tatsuya will do to achieve the Elite role. I also want to see how the school is.
Overall: 8
