The Anime Lad
Raishin enters the Royal Academy with Yaya, a girl-shaped automaton powered by magical circuitry. His written scores place him near the bottom, while his practical combat ability suggests the paperwork may be incomplete. The school gathers ambitious puppeteers and their living weapons, creating a fairly hostile educational environment. Yaya also has opinions about everything.
Super Eyepatch Fox
In an alternate early twentieth century, spell circuits give machines movement and personality. Raishin arrives at an elite academy with Yaya, his formidable automaton partner. His exam ranking is dismal, but combat reveals a different level of competence. Their goal puts them among dangerous students whose magical puppets make every school rivalry capable of becoming an armed confrontation.
Gigguku
The academy teaches Machinart, which means MAGIC CIRCUITS bring elaborate automatons to life, complete with personalities! Raishin walks in near the bottom of the rankings while Yaya, his human-looking combat partner, makes it clear they are not ordinary failures. The mix of period fantasy and competitive school duels gives every confrontation extra gears, literally and emotionally!
Father's Basement
Another elite academy ranks students and discovers that exam scores do not measure combat talent. Familiar enough. The distinguishing machinery is Machinart, a fusion of spells and engineering that gives automatons both power and personality. Raishin's partner Yaya is therefore a character and a weapon, letting the opening balance rivalry, magical mechanics, and deliberately unruly chemistry.
