Mage Seat Scramble is a collab between DARUMA WADA and TOMOYA HANADA that tells a story of magic. More precisely, it’s a story about white magic and black magic.
Ah, don’t you just love stories about people overcoming segregation and imaginary boundaries meant to divide people? See, in the world of Mage Seat Scramble, black magic is the destructive kind, of course. White magic is what you use for healing, moving objects, etc. As you can imagine, people are REALLY not fond of black magic users.
So, our story focuses on a boy named Hirumiya and a girl named Yoichi. Hirumiya is the class clown who lives to keep the mood alive in his class; think of Natsuki Subaru from Re:Zero. Yoichi is a transfer student from the black magic school. NEED I SAY MORE?????
Basically, a cute little comedy love story about people staying true to their dreams and not falling for bu****it stereotypes. The art is cool, the Hirumiya and Yoichi are both really fun characters; the only thing I don’t like is how there’s barely any magic s**t happening in a MAGIC SCHOOL. This could have been a pretty fun serialisation, but it is what it is.
