While Kadokawa has previously released the first series Maken-Ki! on both DVD and Blu-ray, they’re set to release the first season in Blu-ray box set form only on December 27th, 2013. This comes in advance of the new season that’s kicking off in 2014 and making it pretty accessible to fans who might have either missed it or passed it over in its first run due to the limited edition nature of much of it. The set is priced at 29,400yen and contains a lot of material to it as it brings all the bonus material from the first set, including the six epcieal episodes, along with a special offer for fans to grab up the manga as well. Kadokawa has a pretty honest trailer for the set that’s just debuted as well, which you can see below.
FUNimation simulcast the series in North America and is set to release the first domestic DVD/BD combo set of it on November 12th, 2013.
Plot synopsis: Based on the manga series by Takeda Hiromitsu, this romantic comedy is about Ohyama Takeru, a typical perverted teenage boy. His new school doesn’t require entrance exams, and it just turned co-ed! Unfortunately, his dreams of a happy high school life are dashed when he finds out the school is much more than it seems. All of the students wield a special item – a Maken – to unleash their magical abilities in duels! Can Takeru find a Maken that works for him? Even while trying to fit in at a new school and dealing with all kinds of girl problems?
