One morning, while Shōta Hacchōya (a high school boy attending a magic academy) was tasting miso soup, a princess of Majieeru suddenly breaks in. Majieeru happens to be the birthplace of magic.  

Makoto Bessho (Shangri-La) is directing the promotional anime at AIC, and Toy's Factory is producing the music. Miwa Ōshima (Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts, Koihime Musō) is serving as both character designer and chief animation director.
