The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World

TV anime2023–Airing2 seasonsOriginal: light novelNana Mikoshiba

The Arnold Academy of Magic is a school for the elite...and Ray White is just your ordinary guy. In fact, he doesn't seem particularly skilled with magic at all, and is a bit of a klutz. Which is why he has nothing to do with the rumor that one of the great magicians, the Iceblade Sorcerer, is a member of the incoming class...right?

After Season 1, continue with Vol. 4

    This page follows the light novel; the manga has its own volume numbers.

    The prestigious Arnold Academy of Magic has produced countless great sorcerers. A boy named Ray White is to attend as the only sorcerer from an ordinary family in the academy's history. Surrounded entirely by students from noble or sorcerous lineages, he faces their harsh scrutiny. But what they do not know is that he distinguished himself time and again in the Far East War—and that he is now the Iceblade Sorcerer, hailed as the strongest of the world's Seven Great Sorcerers.

    • Season 2: Season 2 is still airing, and the original manga also follows a different storyline.
