main cast
* Based on the light novel series by author Sakurazaka Hiroshi, with illustrations by Miyashita Miki.
Life has not been fair to Morishita Koyomi. Even though she is already in high school, due to her shortness, everyone assumes that she is still in grade school. The boys and girls at her school tease her mercilessly and being clumsy does not help either. On the other hand, she is still better off than Ichinose Yumiko Christina, who has a magician trying to kill her. Or at least Koyomi was until their paths crossed!
Fortunately, salvation arrives in the form of master mage and graduate student Anehara Misa, who agrees to take Koyomi under her wing in learning the new style of modern-day magic, which breaks enchantments down into sequences of code. This will be quite a task, given that so far Koyomi's talent seems to consist of making washbasins randomly fall out of the sky. But if it was easy, it would not be magic, now would it? A whole new kind of spelling lesson awaits as Koyomi takes a desperately needed crash course in charm school.

This series starts off slow as it follows a clumsy character (Koyomi), but the ending does have an interesting ending.

episode appearance

15, female, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., ahogeConsisting of a single, often large, lock of hair sticking out from the top of the head, it is most often used to identify foolish, bumbling or carefree characters., JapaneseA character originating from the island nation of Japan., moeMoe is a Japanese slang loanword that refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters in anime, manga, and video games. At the anime level, the cute girls doing cute things (CGDCT) tag may also apply., orange eyesThe character has orange eyes., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., skirtA skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped piece of clothing that hangs from the waist and covers the legs partially or fully. Skirts are often seen as garments for women, but exceptions exist. In anime, they`re almost always worn by women, generally as school uniform or workplace garments, and a man with one will likely be cross-dressing. Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found.

For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; the "glasses" tag is specifically about the type that doesn`t block light. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., skirtA skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped piece of clothing that hangs from the waist and covers the legs partially or fully.

15, female, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., bishoujoIn the West, bishoujo are attractive girls generally from late childhood or early adolescence to late adolescence, especially those that appeal to males, and particularly fictional characters designed in a way traditionally associated to shoujo manga.

male, ahogeConsisting of a single, often large, lock of hair sticking out from the top of the head, it is most often used to identify foolish, bumbling or carefree characters., business suitThe business suit is a traditional Western-style business attire. For men, this usually consists of a jacket, worn over a collared shirt, with a matching pair of trousers and optional waistcoat vest. For women, this would usually be a jacket, worn over a blouse, with a matching skirt (commonly a pencil skirt) or trousers. Not to be confused with a blazer or sport coat., flyingThis character has wings, natural or artificial, which enable the character to take flight. Or is in command of some form of levitation (e.g. a witch using a broom to fly).
Not to be confused with "flying planes" or "flying helicopters"., necktieThe necktie (or tie) is a long piece of cloth worn around the neck or shoulders, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat., teleportationTeleportation is the transfer of matter from one point to another, possibly a distant one, without application of force, and generally instantly. This contradicts scientific law as we know it, and is therefore nowadays impossible. Sometimes it appears as a paranormal or supernatural ability, and sometimes it is shown in science fiction through technological devices backed up by scientific laws yet to be discovered., weapon fabricationAn ability that allows the user to make copies of a weapon or weapons for use in battle., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair., young adultSomeone is generally considered a young adult if they are between 20 to 40 years old.

female, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., calmFree from excitement or passion., deadpanA deadpan person is one who deliberately and constantly maintains an impassive, expressionless face. The term, which arose in the 1920s as combination of "dead" and "pan", slang for the face, may also apply to the face itself. Contrarily to someone who is emotionally stunted, there is nothing uncommon about the emotions of someone deadpan; they merely suppress the transmission of their feelings to their expression., emotionally stuntedAn emotionally stunted person has a crippled ability to feel or express emotions. That may range from a somewhat decreased ability to express one`s feelings to not having emotions at all. The kuudere archetype draws heavily from this characteristic. This personality trait may be a symptom of a medical condition such as autism or post-traumatic stress disorder. This is not to be confused with a deadpan person, who deliberately suppresses the expression of their emotions., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., pleated skirtA pleated skirt is a skirt that contains pleats. Pleats are folds that are pre-defined with stitches and which can be both stylistic and functional. Common examples of specific skirt types with pleats include: school uniforms, tennis skirts, and kilts., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms.
