The story of The Irregular at Magic High School is set in an alternate reality where there is a coexistence between magic and technology. It follows the life of two siblings – Tatsuya and Miyuki – as they enrol in the prestigious Magic High School.
But things get complicated when the two siblings turn out to be polar opposites when it comes to their magical abilities. While Miyuki is an incredible magician, Tatsuya lacks enough magical powers to even sustain in such a world. This story thus follows his adventures as he navigates to a magical world without magical powers.
