The August issue of monthly Shonen Sirius revealed on Wednesday (26) that Kakeru Kobashiri's Mahotsukai no Reimeiki novels are inspiring a manga by Tatsuwo that will be released in the next issue on July 26.
The light novel series is set in the same fantasy world as Kobashiri's Zero Kara Hajimeru Maho no Sho light novel series, now at peace after suffering a 500-year conflict between the church and witches. However, the embers of war still smolder in some regions of the world. The story centers on Savil, a hopeless student at the Wenias Kingdom's Magic College. Savil has somehow lost all memory of his time before attending the college. The school's headmaster, Albus, sends him for special training in the southern part of the continent, where witch persecution is fierce.
Kobashiri released the novel with the first volume last August. Takashi Iwasaki (Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho (manga)) provides the art, and illustrator Yoshinori Shizuma (Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho) has partial credit for the character designs. Kodansha published the second volume on March 1.
The Kobashiri Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho (Grimoire of Zero) light novels were released in 11 volumes from 2014 to 2017. The series inspired a manga adaptation by Takashi Iwasaki, a separate manga Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho nano! by Yasuoka, and a television anime that premiered in Japan in April 2017. Amazon's Anime Strike service streamed the series as it aired.
Tatsuwo launched the manga adaptation of the Macross Delta anime in April 2016 and finished it in January 2018. The manga has four compiled volumes.
