The Irregular at Magic High School: A Magical Sequel on the Horizon!
In a burst of magic and excitement, The Irregular at Magic High School is set to cast a spell on us once again with a much-anticipated sequel anime series arriving in 2024! The announcement of this enchanting news came during the Dengeki Bunko 30th Anniversary event in Japan, where fans were treated to a dazzling brand-new trailer and key visual.
For fans of the series, this upcoming sequel marks the triumphant return of The Irregular at Magic High School, arriving three years after the conclusion of its action-packed second season that aired in Fall of 2020.
Embracing a Magical Future
Step into the awe-inspiring world of The Irregular at Magic High School, set in the late 21st century, where science has pushed the boundaries of imagination, bringing magic and sorcery into reality. This futuristic setting showcases a society where magic has become a technical skill, taught at the prestigious First High School. But here’s the catch: students are divided into two categories, “Blooms” and “Weeds.”
The Blooms, the cream of the crop, are granted access to the illustrious First Course, while the Weeds are left to navigate the less-prestigious Second Course. Unfortunately for Tatsuya Shiba, our hero with a knack for technical genius, his low entrance exam scores relegate him to the Weeds category. Despite this setback, Tatsuya possesses an unrivaled understanding of the magic system and surprises everyone with his extraordinary combat skills, making him truly “the irregular at magic high school.”
