Episode Details

In the prestigious Rigarden School of magic, young wizards hone their skills with a wand, hoping one day to ascend to the world's greatest honour: becoming one of the Magia Vander - the protectors of all. But one young man, born without magical ability, is set to change that. Wielding a sword instead of a wand, young Will Serfort aims to take on the world, graduate with honours and sit beside his childhood companion, Elfaria, as part of the Magia Vander. But with no magical ability, can Will make the cut?

This week Mat is joined by Zane Reid from the Undisputed Anime podcast to talk about Wistoria: Wand and Sword by Fujino Ōmori and Toshi Aoi just in time for the anime's second season! Join us as we get into the book's obvious comparison points, it's incredible artwork and discuss at great length about how in a time of top tier fantasy manga, the world needs more B-tier books!
