The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest — Light Novel Hit Turns Anime This October 2025!

The world of fantasy anime is about to get a fresh burst of magic with the highly anticipated adaptation of The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest (Japanese: 味方が弱すぎて補助魔法に徹していた宮廷魔法師、追放されて最強を目指す). A breakout hit in the light novel and manga scene, this tale of revenge, power, and self-discovery is gearing up for its anime television premiere in October 2025—and fans couldn’t be more excited.

📚 From Light Novel to Manga and Now Anime

Originally penned by Alto and illustrated by Yuunagi, the story debuted on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in October 2020 before being picked up by Kodansha. As of August 2024, five volumes of the light novel have been released, bringing this tale to a growing readership. In July 2021, a manga adaptation by Yuki Monji started serialization on Magazine Pocket, which has since amassed 16 collected volumes by July 2025.

Now, thanks to Studio Gekkō, the story is stepping into the anime spotlight, with the adaptation officially scheduled to air on the IMAnimation block of TV Asahi this fall.

🧙‍♂️ Plot Summary: Magic, Betrayal & Revenge

Alec Yugret, once a loyal and powerful support-type court magician, spent his career shielding weak allies from danger, using defensive spells and support magic to keep them alive. But rather than being appreciated, Alec is unceremoniously banished from the kingdom, blamed for his team’s shortcomings.

Crushed but not broken, Alec decides to unleash his true potential, honing both offensive and defensive magic to become the strongest sorcerer the world has ever known. On his journey, he’s joined by powerful companions like Yorha Eisentz, a fierce knight with unwavering loyalty; Clasia Annerose, a noble with a secret past; and Ornest Rain, a rogue mage with unpredictable magic.

Together, they take on dragons, dark guilds, rival kingdoms, and ultimately, Alec’s former court—the very people who cast him out.
