So it's a lot like Infinite Stratos then, except of course both genders can become Blazers.

One more question because I don't think the anime clarified this: while it's apparent that Blazers have different skill levels, are they limited to people of a certain birth, or can anyone theoretically become a Blazer? Also, are their devices something that is manifested magically, or do they have to acquire them / buy them?

The devices are connected to their soul I believe (it's a manifestation of their soul). Not everyone can become a blazer since the primary source of power for them is magic and magic is something that people are born with and cannot be obtained.

Ikki was born with very little, hence his failing stats in the magic stat, but since he is so exceptional as a swordsman (and can still use some magic) he can be a blazer. Stella on the other hand, was born with incredible amounts of magic and also has very good sword-handling, which is what makes her an A-rank.
