{{Nihongo|'''''The Irregular at Magic High School'''''|魔法科高校の劣等生|Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei|{{lit}} "The Poor Performing Student of a Magic High School"|lead=yes}} is a Japanese [[web novel]] series by [[Tsutomu Satō (author)|Tsutomu Satō]]. It was published on [[Shōsetsuka ni Narō]], a web novel website, from October 2008 to March 2011. Satō reached a deal with [[Dengeki Bunko]] and began releasing his work in a [[light novel]] format beginning July 2011. The story takes place in the 2090s where technology has allowed magic to exist, and follows Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba, siblings who enroll into First High magic high school. While keeping their connections to the infamous Yotsuba clan secret, they attempt to live their daily life in peace, but Tatsuya is shunned for his apparent ineptness and Miyuki is validated for her magical abilities.

In 2013, each [[story arc]] received a [[manga]] adaptation with varying [[Mangaka|manga artists]] and publishers. That same year, an [[anime]] television series adaptation by [[Madhouse (company)|Madhouse]] was announced and aired from April to September 2014. ''The Irregular at Magic High School'' franchise had been localized for English by two companies: The light novels and one of the manga adaptations are licensed by [[Yen Press]], while [[Aniplex of America]] licensed the anime series. The anime series was [[simulcast]] on four networks, and was later made available on [[Netflix]]. An [[The Irregular at Magic High School: The Movie – The Girl Who Summons the Stars|anime film]] featuring an original story by Satō premiered in Japan in June 2017, while a second season taking place after the anime series by [[Eight Bit (studio)|Eight Bit]] aired from October to December 2020.

A film adaptation of the series' "Reminiscence Arc" aired in December 2021. A third season premiered in April 2024. A new anime film adapting the series' "Yotsuba Succession Arc" arc has been announced.

In 2020, a direct sequel called ''The Irregular at Magic High School Magian Company'' began being published. Set after the events of Volume 32, the sequel focuses on the protagonist Tatsuya Shiba and the others after their graduation from First High magic high school. A spinoff sequel called ''New – The Irregular at Magic High School: Maidens of Cygnus'' began publication in 2021. Its focus is on Katsuto Juumonji and the revelation of a new family member.

The series has been well received. The light novels appeared on Sugoi Japan's 2015 polls and since 2020, is one of the top selling series in Japan with 22 million copies sold. In addition, its manga and anime adaptations also appeared on top selling charts. English reviewers had mixed reception towards the anime adaptation.

==Synopsis==
===Setting===
The series is set in a world with an [[alternate history]], where magic exists and has been polished through modern technology. However, the ability to use magic is determined by genetics, limiting the number of magicians in existence. Following the 20-year long [[World War III|Third World War]] that reduced the world's population to 3 billion, the world's [[superpower]]s shifted to these four nations: The [[North American Union|United States of North America]] (USNA), New [[Soviet Union]], the Great Asian Alliance, and Japan. In Japan, the magic community is informally governed by the Ten Master Clans in lieu of the government. Due to the limited number of magicians, they are treated as a commodity and are forced to enter magic-related schools and professions. Nine magic high schools exist in Japan; they each specialize in different aspects of magic and are simply referred to by their numbers.

===Plot===
The story follows Tatsuya Shiba, a bodyguard to his sister Miyuki Shiba, who is also a candidate to succeed the leadership of the Yotsuba clan, one of the Ten Master Clans that govern Japan's magicians. They enroll into First High School which segregates its students based on their magical abilities. Miyuki is enrolled as a first course student and is viewed as one of the best students, while Tatsuya is in the second course and considered to be magically inept. However, Tatsuya's technical knowledge, combat abilities, and unique magic techniques cause people to view him as an irregular to the school's standardized rankings.

Miyuki is considered one of the strongest magicians in the world and is a candidate to succeed her Aunt Maya as the leader of the Yotsuba Clan. Her specialty is freezing magic, and her unique magic allows her to freeze a person's consciousness. In addition, half of her magic casting ability is used to seal Tatsuya's powers. Before the family vacation in Okinawa, Miyuki treated Tatsuya coldly akin to how the other Yotsuba Clan members did. She began to warm up to him and when Tatsuya saved her life, she devoted her entire existence to him. It evolved to the point where she disdains the touch of other males and expresses jealousy of Tatsuya against females around him.{{Ref|LN|LN 11.15}} Genetically different from Tatsuya despite being born from the same parents, Miyuki professes her love to him following their engagement under Maya's orders.{{Ref|LN|LN 16.6}} She is voiced by [[Saori Hayami]] (Japanese)<ref name="Staff and Cast"/> and [[Anairis Quiñones]] (English).<ref name="English dub"/>

==Publication and conception==
The story was conceived around a protagonist whose abilities cannot be properly measured through standardized evaluation;{{Ref|LN|LN 2.A}} as such, he is mistakenly categorized as a poor performing student or an irregular. This premise served as a basis for the character, Tatsuya Shiba.{{Ref|LN|LN 2.A}} Satō has two processes for scripting the story arcs: the first is to create scenarios to have characters behave and interact in certain ways; the second is to plan a scene, then script the story so it leads to that scene.{{Ref|LN|LN 11.A}} Satō professed that he does not feel his characters are alive or have a will of their own when scripting them.{{Ref|LN|LN 11.A}}

Tsutomu Satō published his work on the online web novel website, [[Shōsetsuka ni Narō]], between October 12, 2008, and March 21, 2011.<ref name="Official Syosetu">{{cite web| url=http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2569f/| title=''The Irregular at Magic High School'' official web novel website|publisher=Syosetu.com|language=ja|access-date=August 4, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20090125030554/http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2569f/|archive-date=January 25, 2009}}{{dead link|date=February 2018|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> At some point during his publication on Syosetu, Satō sent an original work to [[Dengeki Bunko]] under a pseudonym.{{Ref|LN|LN 1.A}} The original work's setting shared similarities to ''The Irregular at Magic High School'' causing an editor to deduce his identity and offer him a publication deal.{{Ref|LN|LN 1.A}} On March 11, 2011, the author announced his work is going to be published as a [[light novel]] under the Dengeki Bunko [[Imprint (trade name)|imprint]].<ref name="Dengeki License">{{cite web|archive-url=https://archive.today/20111205192015/http://mypage.syosetu.com/mypageblog/view/userid/28800/blogkey/153004| archive-date=December 5, 2011|url=http://mypage.syosetu.com/mypageblog/view/userid/28800/blogkey/153004|title=Important Announcement|first=Tsutomu|last=Satō|date=March 3, 2011|publisher=Syosetu.com|language=ja|url-status=dead|access-date=August 4, 2015}}</ref> The author expressed some regret turning free content into paid commodity and cited his financial needs as the reason.{{Ref|LN|LN 1.A}} The illustrations accompanying the light novels were done by Kana Ishida.<ref name="LN 1"/> The first light novel volume was unable to accommodate the first story arc; deciding against cutting content from the web novel, it was split into two volumes and released a month later.{{Ref|LN|LN 2.A}} On March 9, 2015, [[Yen Press]] announced its licensing of the light novels for English localization through [[Twitter]].<ref name="Yen Press LN License">{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-03-09/yen-press-licenses-irregular-at-magic-high-school-light-novels-manga/.85777|title=Yen Press Licenses ''Irregular at Magic High School'' Light Novels, Manga|last=Ressler|first=Karen|date=March 9, 2015|website=[[Anime News Network]]| access-date=October 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200526170923/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-03-09/yen-press-licenses-irregular-at-magic-high-school-light-novels-manga/.85777|archive-date=May 26, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> Yen Press' first volume was released in April 2016.<ref name="Yen1"/>

''[[Anime News Network]]'' had four editors review the first episode of the anime:<ref name="ANN Ep1 review">{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2014/the-spring-anime/magic|title=The Spring 2014 Anime Preview Guide: ''The Irregular at Magic High School''|date=April 5, 2014|website=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=March 18, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200913021509/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2014/the-spring-anime/magic|archive-date=September 13, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> Carl Kimlinger saw potential in its take on a typical anime premise, praising Tatsuya as the lead protagonist and its handling of mysteries surrounding the plot; Theron Martin, although hopeful because of its male lead and plot concept, expressed criticism towards the indistinguishable animation and constant exposition for the viewers; and Rebecca Silverman felt that it was bland and nothing special. The fourth reviewer, Jacob Chapman, expressed immediate dislike towards the series, criticizing it for lacking anything to engage the viewers and for being a lazy adaptation of a light novel, and concluding the review with "I can't even remember the last time I saw something with not a single redeeming factor or thing to recommend about it at all."<ref name="ANN Ep1 review"/> Silverman reviewed the series future episodes.<ref name="ANN anime1">{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/irregular-at-magic-high-school/sub.blu-ray-1/.90382|title=Blu-Ray 1 - ''Enrollment Arc''|first=Rebecca|last=Silverman|date=July 13, 2015|website=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=October 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111174337/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/irregular-at-magic-high-school/sub.blu-ray-1/.90382|archive-date=January 11, 2019| url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="ANN anime2">{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school/sub.blu-ray-2/.93065|title=Blu-Ray 2 - ''Nine Schools Competition Arc''|first=Rebecca|last=Silverman|date=September 18, 2015|website=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=October 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190527220940/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school/sub.blu-ray-2/.93065|archive-date=May 27, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Plotwise, she praised the ''Enrollment Arc''{{'}}s underline on standardized testing, criticized the ''Nine Schools Competition Arc'' for its execution and weak exposition, and felt the characters were uninteresting.

Chris Beveridge's review for ''The Fandom Post'' was highly positive towards the anime series, calling it a [[dark horse]] contender as one of their top new anime series of the year. Beveridge praised the technical and fundamental aspects of magic in the series for breaking the supernatural approach other works usually take and liked the potential impact it could have on future events.<ref name="Fandom Post1">{{cite web|url=https://www.fandompost.com/2015/07/04/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school-set-1-blu-ray-anime-review/|title=''The Irregular at Magic High School'' Set 1 Blu-ray Anime Review|first=Chris|last=Beveridge|date=July 4, 2015|website=The Fandom Post|access-date=October 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180811041739/https://www.fandompost.com/2015/07/04/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school-set-1-blu-ray-anime-review/|archive-date=August 11, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> However, while the reviewer liked the series' technicality, they noted it will frustrate certain viewers in that aspect.<ref name="Fandom Post2">{{cite web|url=https://www.fandompost.com/2015/09/16/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school-set-2-blu-ray-anime-review/|title=''The Irregular at Magic High School'' Set 2 Blu-ray Anime Review|first=Chris|last=Beveridge|date=September 16, 2015|website=The Fandom Post|access-date=October 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180708023449/https://www.fandompost.com/2015/09/16/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school-set-2-blu-ray-anime-review/|archive-date=July 8, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Richard Eisenbeis, writing for ''[[Kotaku]]'', liked the characters, story, the complex and technical magic system, and mysteries.<ref name="Kotaku review">{{cite web|url=https://kotaku.com/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school-tells-an-entertainin-1653116699|title=''The Irregular at Magic High School'' Tells an Entertaining Story Poorly|first=Richard|last=Eisenbeis|date=October 31, 2014|website=[[Kotaku]]|access-date=October 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180810205442/https://kotaku.com/the-irregular-at-magic-high-school-tells-an-entertainin-1653116699|archive-date=August 10, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> However, Eisenbeis criticized the exposition, citing it to be poorly timed, heavy, and failing to explain things with better clarity.
