A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special is coming on screen this fall 2023 season. Based on the popular time traveler Manhwa by author So-nan Yu and illustrator Uk-jakga.
A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special is one of the most popular fantasy action manhwa among readers. The Manhwa is based on a web novel series that was released in 2016.
Later, it was adapted into a webtoon series under Kakao in 2018. The webtoon has been translated into three different languages for readers outside of South Korea.
A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special was officially published on Tappytoon digitally in English in 2020. The series was later published in English, in print format, by Yen Press in 2022.
It’s not surprising for the readers that the manhwa is getting an anime adaptation so soon, considering the popularity of the manhwa.
The anime already has readers waiting for its premiere, which is very amusing. On the other hand, the anime announcement piqued the interest of the readers who had not picked up the manhwa until now.
We are not sure if the anime will get a second season, but it’s already doing well in promoting the manhwa to readers who did not know about it until now.
A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special is a production of Arvo Animation Studio, which is best known for its romance anime series We Never Learn: BOKUBEN.
It has been produced by Aniplex and Magic Capsule. FLOW is the voice behind the opening theme of the anime, while Momosu Momosu has lent her voice to the ending song. Takuma Terashima and Sayumi Suzushiro voiced the main characters, Desir Arman and Romantica Eru.
About A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special
The plot revolves around the main character, Desir Arman, who makes up his mind to reach the shadow labyrinth. It was the last labyrinth revealed to mankind by the shadow worlds.
Desir Arman has to go through the grief of losing his comrades and friends for ten long years. He vows to kill the Nepolitians and put an end to hell for good.
Even after he and his comrades killed the dragon of the shadow world, they still could not return to their original world.
He suddenly traveled back in time after a massive dragon attack. He found himself inside the enrollment announcement at Hebrion Academy.
He found out that the shadow world was not real and was just designed for the admissions test. He was confused about the entrance ceremony because, as far as he remembered, he graduated ten years ago, so nothing made sense to him.
Desir Arman realized that he had escaped the hellscape. He could not believe that everyone’s sacrifice and efforts were for nothing.
He refused to accept that everything he went through was just a dream. A second-year student named Ladoria was assigned as his mentor.
Desir Arman already knew about her and heard that she was a genius fire element magician who was at the sixth level. She was a model student who always got the best grades in her class during her years at Hebrion Academy.
