The second season of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School), Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen (The Irregular at Magic High School: Visitor Arc), ended with a television anime announcement of Yu Mori's Mahouka Koukou no Yuutousei (The Honor Student at Magic High School) spin-off manga on Sunday.

Aniplex also opened an official website for the anime series, revealing a teaser visual (pictured), announcement commercial, and its 2021 debut. The television anime is commemorating the franchise's 10th anniversary.

Synopsis
A century has passed since magic—true magic, the stuff of legends—has returned to the world. It is spring, the season of new beginnings, and a new class of students is about to begin their studies at the First National Magic University Affiliated High School, nickname: First High.

A manga spin-off of the immensely popular light novel series Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School), Mahouka Koukou no Yuutousei (The Honor Student at Magic High School) follows the events of the original series as seen through the eyes of Miyuki Shiba, Tatsuya's sister. The life of an honor student comes with a lot of expectations...and unexpected hidden feelings?! (Source: Yen Press, edited)

Mori began drawing the spin-off manga in Dengeki Daioh in April 2012 and ended it on June 27. Kadokawa shipped the 11th and final volume on September 10. Yen Press licensed the manga in English in March 2015 and released the tenth volume last November. A sequel for the manga is currently under planning.

Tsutomu Satou began penning the original sci-fi action novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in 2008. Dengeki Bunko began printing the novel with illustrations by Kana Ishida (Shounen Maid, Wakaba*Girl) in July 2011. After a 12-year run, Kadokawa published the 32nd and final volume on September 10. The light novel has a cumulative 12 million copies of its volumes in print, with the combined circulation of the manga adaptations and spin-offs exceeding 20 million.

Satou launched the sequel light novel, Zoku Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Magian Company (The Irregular at Magic High School: Magian Company), on October 10.

Can't wait for Incest at Magic Highschool part 3!

On a serious note, let's hope they can make an interesting story out of this one.

So, we can hear Hayamin's voice again when she call "Oni-sama"

Loved the spin off manga so much, Miyuki's perspective and story is so fresh and cute.

Dec 26, 2020 10:44 PM by Aikotoba

So more Miyuki pov. Nice. No problem here.

Mahouka's Railgun or Sword Oratoria?

Well, for Mahouka fans really...not complaining...

Dec 26, 2020 5:57 PM by KANLen09

Hmmm she already got quite a lot of screentime in the main series, how about any other character instead? Those twins or Lina are nice too.

I always wonder how these can be as/more profitable than just pumping out another season to the main series.

The "Railgun Effect", are side stories focus on the girl co-protagonist or secondary female characters like danmachi did with oratoria, Hidan no Aria with "AA"
I guess the Japanese public demands these spin-off because there is not enough fanservice in the main series and not much time for the cover girl because the series is 90% monopolized by the male protagonist.

"Began in April 2021,".........I'm guessing there was a typo here

Apparently this manga was written in the future.

More of kawaiiiii Miyuki.

Dec 26, 2020 11:03 AM by MegamiRem

Well, I take what I get. It's going to go down as one of those "I didn't know I needed it" show for certain, lmao.

Seriously though, hopefully this will just be an appetizer to the Season 3.

I like the little wordplay in the titles by the way for the Romaji title, that is. Doesn't quite have the same wittiness about it in the translated title, I'm afraid.

Well not bad, always nice to see more Onii-sama and his daily life with the sister.

Dec 26, 2020 10:31 AM by Ramkec

So we're going to get more insight of how much Miyuki loves his brother soooo much and how much she wants him to be inside of her? Awesome! Not like we don't get enough of those already in the main series right? It's not like I'm annoyed by that aspect of the show or anything. No, not at all! I'm definitely going to be looking forward to this spin-off.........
