This is a fun alternate take on the 86 characters, placing them in a typical Japanese high school setting. It doesn’t connect to the main series canon, but all the character quirks and charm are still present. It’s a standalone volume, self-contained with 16 chapters and a character list at the end. The pace is light and easy, with a comfortable slice-of-life flow.
The manga was released from May 11, 2018, to March 12, 2021. It consists of seven books. This showcase focuses on the manga, not the light novels or anime. I have wanted to read it ever since I watched the first season. The anime doesn’t differ much from the manga, if at all.
This manga takes place in a fantasy, sci-fi world where magic exists. The protagonist, Iska, is a soldier from the Empire, which has been at war with the Sovereignty, a nation ruled by mages, for over a century. Iska dreams of a future where humans and mages can coexist in peace instead of being enemies.
The manga came out from October 22, 2016, to September 27, 2018, and there are 3 volumes to the manga series.
