Little Witch Academia
by Studio Trigger / Yoh Yoshinari
Atsuko "Akko" Kagari has no magical heritage, no talent, and no business being at Luna Nova Magical Academy. What she has is a childhood obsession with the performer Shiny Chariot and an absolutely unbreakable refusal to give up. When the legendary Shiny Rod chooses her as its wielder, Akko stumbles into a quest to revive the Seven Words of Arcturus and save magic itself — which is dying, along with the ley lines, the Sorcerer's Stone, and the public's belief that witches matter at all.
