Roy Aveillam, the arrogant son of a notorious duke, is widely feared.

Reincarnated at just eight years old, Roy awakens to the world’s latent magic and vows to redefine himself – not just by his lineage, but by his will.
In School for Wizards, the beloved web novel turned manga, writer Yuunagi (with original story by Yuhi Ueno and character design by Noki) brings a heart-warming yet dramatic tale of redemption, ambition, and magical awakening to life. Set against a fantastical academy backdrop, readers follow Roy’s journey from disdain to determination as he confronts rivalries, uncovers mysteries, and discovers what truly makes one special. A charming, emotionally resonant fantasy that blends school drama with isekai magic – perfect for readers enchanted by growth, grit, and the spark of a new beginning.
