Re: Guilty (fandom) Pleasures!
It would be a gross oversimplification if I say it's: "A ten-year old boy teaching English in an all-girl high school class." But if I elaborate any further I would risk spoiling the plot twists and revelations that made this manga so great.
Let me see if I can explain this...
One day, A ten-year old magic practitioner comes to a Japanese academy to teach English in an all-girl high school class. The boy is the son of the Thousand Master, a powerful Mage who ended a gigantic war in the magic world over two decades ago, but is now currently missing.
The boy wishes that one day he will find and surpass his father.
Later, through a series of seemingly random but interconnected plot arcs, it turns out that there is a group trying to completely obliterate the Magic World, which has advanced to the point of machanized transportation and lift. They plan to do this by harnessing the power of one of the girls in the boy's class. Why? Answering that would reveal a plot twist determinal to the climax of the story. Plus, as the manga progresses, it turns out that the girls in the class are not as they appear to be...
That is as far as I can go without revealing anything. The manga, despite it's initial chapters, has (and in my opinion, still have) the best plot of any manga I've ever read. the characterization is amazing and the settings in both the human and magic world are fleshed out to full detail. It manages to balance humor and seriousness, especially in later arcs, and it even characterizes the villains to the extent that, once the plot fell into place, you can't help but sympathize with them (at the risk of spoiling a part of the manga, I'll give you this example: A girl barely into her teens joins the villains because of a tragic (and implied: depraved) incident with her only elder sister).
I recommend you read it through the first few arcs before deciding for yourself whether or not you like it. I certainly did.
