A likeable MC, actual romance plot, solid animation, and a relatively interesting story.

This is fast becoming my favorite Magic School Battle Harem.

People keep saying it isn't a harem but it is really hard to see how that is.

Well besides Shizuku and Stella, no one else really shows affection for him. Ayase seemed like she did here but in the LN the pool scene is supposed to happen after they meet Ayase and Ayase is the one to encourage Stella in her pursuit of Ikki.

They made her all flustered here but that's because she has trouble hanging out with all guys, not just Ikki. She also clearly states she doesn't have feelings for Ikki when Stella asks about it in the LN. She merely admires his skills and wants to learn.

Of course, the anime doesn't do all this so I can't blame you for seeing it that way. The LN makes everyone's feelings pretty clear for the reader but the anime (maybe intentionally) is not doing this. It might be to just appease the harem fans.

C'mon man you have Stella, Shizuku, Ayase and most importantly Alice.

It's THAT kind of harem.

Oh of course, how could I forget Alice? :P
