I can’t remember. Who am I? What am I? Saybil is a student at a magic academy who has no memories of anything from before he joined the school. Not understanding why he’s there, the time he spends at the academy feels hollow and empty. And since he doesn’t know how to work hard, his grades are always the lowest in his year. Then, one day, the school headmaster, Albus, orders Saybil to participate in a dangerous special training. “I want you to spread the use of magic in an area where they hold witch hunts.” It has only been a few years since the war between the church and the witches came to an end—the world has not yet fully accepted witches and their magic. This is the dawn of the age of the witch. This is the story of how a young man, a boy who is no one special, and his companions, who all hold wounds in their hearts, set out and end up finding themselves.

Kakeru Kobashiri’s novel series has been published through the Kodansha Lanove Bunko imprint since August 2018. It is considered as the second part of the author’s previous series Grimoire of Zero, which shares some of the same world setting and characters, but has also been written as a new stand-alone series that can be read without prior knowledge. There’s also a manga adaptation featuring art by Tatsuwo, which Kodansha Comics publishes in English, and Kodansha also plans to publish the novels.
The author even posted a special short story to celebrate the TV anime adaptation news on Twitter when it was revealed last April.
