It's time for the main event of the school festival, the Magic Research Battle! All of Trinity Seven (plus Arata) are arming themselves for battle against tough opponents from the rival Royal Magic Academies, but first they'll have to face--each other!? It's a knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish with only one pair left standing!
I guess you can't have a school festival at a magic school without a magical battle royale, eh? So, new players enter, and some have serious business with Arata. But wait, he lost? Or did he? What's going on? Well, we will just have to wait till next volume to find out. "It won't be long now!" Said the monkey, as his tail got caught in the meat grinder. Art, awesome. Such beautiful girls. And the detail in some scenes is just incredible. Dialogue, serious at times, farcical at others. It fits well with the story. Characters, likeable, interesting, intriguing, exciting, entertaining.
This series is a harem rom-com that makes no sense. Arata (the male protagonist) is as exciting as a lukewarm glass of water. Yet all the females fall in love with him. Admittedly, he has no competition, but would a girl fall for Barney Fife because he was the only choice?
This volume starts a school festival at a magic school. Teams of two fight one another in a single-elimination tournament. That means that magic-sounding words are uttered followed by the page showing lightening bolts and other nondescript stuff.
