[!! Equal parts male- and female-oriented. The characters are fairly well drawn, with satisfying moments, but there is plenty of introspection and everyday life !!]
[One female lead] [Character growth] [Slow-paced] [Plot twists] [Lots of imaginative ideas] [No purely evil villains]
[Not a traditional school story: only about a quarter of the story takes place at the academy, but that part is important]
[Two protagonists. Come raise a daughter or a son. There is romance: a sonnet pairing, pure love, pure love, pure love]
By the time Alice learns that the world of magic exists, she is already too old to become a mage. “No one has ever become a mage after the age of fifteen.” But one strange event follows another: a mysterious deal appears in the fireplace, her aunt barges into her bedroom in the middle of the night, claiming to be her future self, a white-haired girl appears on a rainy night, and nightmare creatures suddenly emerge. Countless bizarre events change her life, and she falls in love with the boy who grew up by her side.
Her letter of admission to the Academy of Magic is already in hand, while a plot to overturn the magical world is brewing. God's twelve apostles will descend at midnight, and a holy war is about to begin.
Come on, classmate, come on. You're the only one we're missing.
Come on✊[laughing]
