The November issue of Square Enix‘s G Fantasy magazine revealed last Friday that Hazumi Takeda will launch a manga adaptation of the 19th novel volume of Tsutomu Satou‘s The irregular at magic high school light novel series in the magazine’s next issue on November 18. The manga is titled Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei: Ichijō Masaki Tenkō-hen (The irregular at magic high school: Masaki Ichijō Transfers Schools Arc). The manga’s first compiled book volume will ship later in the month on November 27.
The manga is a sequel to Takeda’s previous manga in the series Shizoku Kaigi-hen (Master Clans Conference). While there is no arc in the novels named “Masaki Ichijō Transfers Schools Arc,” the story is part of the “Master Clans Conference” arc covered in volumes 17-19 of the original novels. Takeda’s previous manga covered volumes 17-18, while this new manga covers volume 19, the part of the story when Masaki Ichijō temporarily transfers from Third High School to First High School to investigate the terrorist bombing of the Ten Master Clans’ Selection Meeting.
Takeda’s Shizoku Kaigi-hen manga launched in G Fantasy in March 2020, and ended on September 18. Takeda is drawing the manga, and Kana Ishida is credited with character design. Square Enix published the manga’s first compiled book volume in September 2020, and the eighth volume on March 27. The ninth volume will ship on November 27, the same date as the release of the first volume of Ichijō Masaki Tenkō-hen.
A manga adaptation of the Yotsuba Keishō-hen (Yotsuba Succession) arc by Tsuna Kitaumi launched in G Fantasy in December 2019. The manga ended in its third and final volume, which shipped in May 2022. Fumino Hayashi and Chiaki Nagaoka are credited with composition. The manga adapted volume 16 of the original novel series. Kitaumi also drew the Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei: Double Seven-hen, Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei: Kyūkōsen-hen, and Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei: Nyūgaku-hen manga.
