To resolve the "Collapse Phenomenon" and bring back Hijiri, Arata enrolls in the Royal Biblia Academy. Waiting in the school are seven beautiful female magic users — the Trinity Seven.
Writer Saito and artist Nao (Countrouble, Psycho Busters) launched the manga in Fujimi Shobo's Monthly Dragon Age magazine in 2011, and Kadokawa published the ninth volume on August 8.
