Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

How do you like the 22nd volume of the series, "The Beginning of the Unrest (Part 2)"? Did you like it?

In the previous volume, I basically outlined the worsening situation in the world, and the main theme of this volume was a change in the situation around the main character. The reason for a possible bad balance is, most likely, that originally calculated for 1 volume events were eventually divided into 2 parts. Well, it serves us right.

The thought-giving end of volume 21 is not associated with this 22 volume, but with the next volume, 23 volumes.

Events will move on even faster. Starting with volume 21, events can be considered not "arcs" with pauses between episodes, but one continuing to develop a plot.

You could have an impression that in this 22 volume of the place of "hero" and "heroine" the duet of Saburou and Shiina could take, but after 23 volumes they will become ordinary secondary characters. I feel it will be a loss.

Along with the Kurob twins, Shiina and Saburou are ideal candidates for the main roles in the side stories, but I do not get to that hand at all. There is a feeling that I have run out of characters. This is a serious problem.

At the planning stage of this series, two main themes were highlighted. First, these are the contradictions between those who possess the power of magic, and those who do not possess it. This is the current storyline.

And secondly, it is a struggle for the legacy of a prehistoric civilization that used magic as the basis of its entire technology. This story is somewhat reminiscent of the series "Alien" by Kikuchi Hideyuki-sensei, and also by "Spriggan" Minagawa's Ryouji-sensei. But this was not based on a historically authentic "occult" theme, as in the two works. All the legacy and relics were completely invented. We are talking about "antinite" and "relics", often mentioned in the text.

Unfortunately, since the series has already reached the stage, when the ultimate goal is visible, from the current moment it will not be possible to insert into the narrative material with the history of prehistoric civilization. If it does, it will be the first story written after Tatsuya and Miyuki are released from school. But at the moment there is no chance for that.

So, in the next issue we have a new arch. I'm thinking of calling it "Isolation."

Look forward to the next, 23 volumes of the series "The Unkempt Student in the School of Magic."
