The Irregular at Magic High School, Vol. 22: Upheaval Prologue Arc II

魔法科高校の劣等生 [Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei] (Novel) #22

by Tsutomu Sato, Kana Ishida (Illustrator)

Tatsuya hasn’t won many new fans with his less-than-friendly behavior at a recent gathering of the Twenty-Eight Families who were in Yokohama to discuss the concerning rise in anti-magician movements. As usual, he puts Miyuki’s safety above all else, even if it means souring relations between the Yotsuba and the other clans. And that’s not the only problem he has to be worried about. Quite a few people are having doubts as to where Tatsuya’s loyalties really lie, and it seems they’re willing to go to extreme lengths to find out!

Haven't had wi-fi when I was reading it, and now it's been too long and can't remember particulars so my star rating will have to do.

A nice entertaining mix of the high school shenanigans mostly centered on Erika, and the Saegusa Twins while the Japanese Intelligence Service is plotting in the background. It seems people in the government are getting a bit worried about Tatsuya. Unlike v21 there is some Tatsuya action, although again it is not really the main focus and mostly as a setup for future plots. Also interesting to see how Erika's is affected by her brother's death and Tatsuya's actions in her life. I do feel the Japanese mage infighting is a bit extreme, or at least rather risky, but than again, it fits the world. All in all, a good read for me and to some extent a setup for what is coming.

i'm still skipping through parts that seem don't proceed the plot in any way and feature Saburou. Other than that, this volume was extremely exciting. Tsukasa Tooyama is very interesting and made for a good adversary. The plot thickens and I'm looking forward to more confrontations involving Tatsuya...

Tatsuya and the Yotsuba are starting to come into conflict with the National Defense Force and the rest of the 10 Master Clans. Personally, I am all for it and excited for next arc. Good volume but it would have been better if so much time wasn't spent on Shiina and Saburou.

I like the way the story was told. The characters were very good. The plot made sense. This was a pretty good read.

Why????????

Our hero has a new problem - and she actually believes that she can manipulate his actions like he is a normal person
