The anime adaptation of the light novel Mikata ga Yowasugite Hojo Mahou (The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest) was officially announced this Friday (21).

Therefore, the premiere will take place in the October 2025 season, with animation by Studio Gekkou (Isekai One Turn Kill Neesan).

Synopsis:

“This team doesn’t need an incompetent mage who only knows how to use support magic. You’re fired, Alec Ygret.” Suddenly, Alec, a court mage who had joined the crown prince’s group to help him conquer dungeons, was expelled from the group. And not only that: the prince’s harassment also banished him from the royal palace. It was then that a friend from the “magic academy” approached Alec, who was at the limit of his strength. “Hey, Alec. Do you want to try conquering the dungeon with us again?”

However, Mikata ga Yowasugite Hojo Mahou is a Japanese light novel series written by Alto and illustrated by Yuunagi. The work was originally published on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website starting in October 2020, before being licensed and published by Kodansha under the Kodansha Ranobe Books imprint in August 2021; as of August 2024, five volumes have been released.

In addition, the series received a manga adaptation, illustrated by Yuki Monji, which began serialization in Magazine Pocketin July 2021. By January 2025, the manga had been compiled into fourteen volumes.
