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. * Based on the light novel series by author Sakurazaka Hiroshi, with illustrations by Miyashita Miki.
