The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians

Kurumi Mirai had always dreamed of being a magician. She grew up learning about charms from her grandma which inspired her. One night while Kurumi was out walking around she sees a witch casting magic. The witch stops after a paper Kurumi had been holding rolls down at her feet. She picks it up to see a charm that Kurumi had practiced drawing. The witch then asks if Kurumi wanted to be a magician. When Kurumi says yes the witch hands her a magic notebook and gives her advice as well as a promise. However, when Kurumi is finally old enough to get into Rhettoran Magic Academy she fails to get a high enough score to get into the magumi class or modern magic course. She is instead put into the standard class with kids who would rather spend their lives doing ordinary work like cooking, singing, and fashion designing. On the first day the standard class's new teacher proudly proclaims that she is going to turn every one of the standard class students into magicians.

The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians was a good anime. It's one of those ones that isn't easy to binge, and you can't really say why. The story is interesting, the art is fun and stylish, there's character growth as Kurumi and Yuzu both figure out what kind of person they want to be, and there aren't any annoying characters. I really liked how a lot of the show focused on Rhettoran Academy's seven wonders. It kind of reminded me of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun. I would suggest giving it a try. It isn't the best anime you'll ever see, but it has a good message about how anyone can be the kind of person they aspire to be if they put in the work.
