Announced during summer 2014, the summer 2015 series Kusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan, aka The Instructor of Aerial Combat Wizard Candidates has a bit of new information coming up this week. A June preview event has been set for the show, affirming that it is indeed ready for the summer season, and accompanying that announcement was a new key visual for it. This is the most recent news since we learned that Yuki Yamada has stepped in to take over the role of Chloe Zeveni, which was previously being played by Kaori Saodhara. Sadohara recently announced that she was taking a hiatus due to vocal chord exhaustion that she was experiencing. The series is being directed by Takayuki Inagaki based on scripts by Hiroshi Yamaguchi at Diomedia. The site talked before a good bit about the launch of the drama CD and events coming up, which lists the cast for that as:
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Kanata Age
Nozomi Yamamoto as Misora Whitale
Nao Toyama as Lecty Eisenach
Risa Taneda as Julie Frostor
Yuki Yamada as Chloe Zeveni
Tetsuya Kakihara as Lloyd Allwin
Saeko Zogo as Flonne Flamel
It doesn’t indicate if we’ll see the same cast for the anime adaptation, but it’s pretty likely.
The title comes from Yu Moroboshi with artwork by Mikihiro Amami that began in 2013 and had its fith installment due out at the end of November last year. Not surprisingly, a manga adaptation kicked off as well last summer in Monthly Comic Alive with Arisu Shidou handling that adaptation.
Plot concept: 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 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.
