The story is set in a world where humanity, driven off the land by the threat of magical armored insects, now live in aerial floating cities. Thus wizards — aerial combat mages who fight the insects with magical powers — came into being.

Kanata Age (Eiji) is a young man who lives on the floating wizard academy city of “Misutogan.” He was once celebrated as the “Black Master Swordsman,” the elite ace of the S128 special team. However, he is now despised as the “traitor of the special team.” One day, he is assigned as the instructor of E601, a team that has suffered 10 consecutive defeats. E601 has three girls — Misora Whitale, Lecty Eisenach, and Rico Flamel — with one or two peculiar quirks.

The light novel series was launched last July, with the 4th volume to be released this 19 July.

Takeru Satoh (Kenshin’s Kenshin) has been casted as Moritaka Mashiro and Ryunosuke Kamiki (Kenshin’s Sōjirō Seta) as Akito Takagi. Hitoshi Ōne will be directing the film.

Having caught all 3 anime series and read the manga series too. I am looking forward to this movie! I wonder if they can cover all of the arcs in the manga?
