The news was made public through the official website of the anime adaptation of the manga Wistoria: Wand and Sword (Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria), written by Fujino Omori and illustrated by Toshi Aoi. This animated project will have a second season, and although details about dates and production team have not yet been shared, it is undoubtedly excellent news.
Fujino Omori, who is also the author of the Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka? franchise (DanMachi: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?), began publishing this manga through Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shonen magazine in December 2020, where it is still being published. As for the anime adaptation, the first season of the series began airing in July 2024, consisting of 12 episodes, and was handled by studios ACTAS and Bandai Namco Pictures. Crunchyroll took charge of its simultaneous airing in the West.
Synopsis
Wistoria: Wand and Sword tells the story of Will Serfort, a young man with a peculiar dream: to become a Magia Vander, a powerful magician who reigns from the top of the Wizards’ Tower. However, despite his high aspirations, Will faces a significant obstacle: his complete inability to use magic. This limitation places him in a challenging position within the Regarden magic academy, where he is forced to rely exclusively on his sword skills to confront monsters in dungeons and earn academic credits.
The plot unfolds in an environment where Will, despite being despised for his lack of magical abilities, discovers that the seemingly ordinary saber he possesses could be the key to unlocking his true potential. This element introduces an intriguing twist to his journey, as Will must prove his worth in a world that deeply values magic above all. Throughout his education, he faces challenges from both monsters and authoritative figures, such as a professor who harasses him due to his magical ineptitude, testing his sword skills in critical situations.
As Will progresses in his education and overcomes various trials, his story not only explores his personal growth and skill development but also broader themes such as friendship, loyalty, and courage. Through his interactions with other students and teachers, some of whom see his potential beyond magic, Will begins to carve his own path, challenging established norms and seeking a place in a world that initially seemed to have rejected him due to his deficiencies.
As we already know, in these cases, all we can do is wait for further updates about the production team, casting, and dates, but in the meantime, as I said at the beginning, it’s undoubtedly good news, right? And now, how about heading to the comments and leaving your thoughts on this news? You know we’ll be reading! 😉
