Press Release

Based on the popular light novel by the Japanese author Tarou Hitsuji and featuring the art of Japanese manga artist Aosa Tsunemi, Akashic Records of the Bastard Magical Instructor is a new ongoing manga series that follows a young woman as she trains to become a powerful magic user against all educational odds.

Sisti is a magic-user in training who attends a prestigious magical academy where she hopes to be trained by the best of the best. However, when her instructor suddenly retires, his replacement is anything but what Sisti had hoped for—idle, incompetent, and always late! Can Sisti still learn magic and unravel the secrets of the mysterious Sky Castle with such a terrible teacher as her guide?
