Season 1 began airing in January 2023, with Crunchyroll streaming it simultaneously alongside its Japanese broadcast, including an English dub.
Mikoshiba’s original light novel began publishing on the website Shōsetsuka ni Narō in October 2019, before being released as a print light novel in January 2020, with illustrations by Riko Korie, published by Kodansha in Japan.
The manga adaptation by Norihito Sasaki launched in Magazine Pocket in June 2020 and concluded in January 2024 with volume 16 as the final volume, released in April 2024. Kodansha USA Publishing has licensed the manga for international distribution.
New Manga Continuation
The Season 2 anime website has also revealed information about a new manga series titled Hyōken no Majutsushi ga Sekai wo Suberu II, with art by Nao Kagami and composition by Ichi Okane. It is set to serialize on Niconico Manga under Kodansha’s “Suiyōbi no Sirius” label — though the manga is not yet publicly available to read on Niconico Manga.
Story
Arnold Academy of Magic is an elite institution for those blessed with extraordinary magical ability. Yet Ray White appears to be nothing more than an ordinary boy with no special powers — so what could he possibly have to do with the rumor that the legendary sorcerer known as the “Iceblade Sorcerer” is enrolling in the same class?
