Story Synopsis
In a world where people possessing magic are going extinct and armaments are at the peak, the seat that was taken from the sword by magic, is handed over to guns and the one cracking down on remaining magical threats is the "Inquisition". Kusanagi Takeru despite being unable to use guns, and fights with only a sword, is attending Inquisition's training institution known as the "AntiMagic Academy". The 35th Test Platoon aka "Small Fry Platoon" led by Takeru is a mishmash of underachievers. However, one day a handgun-using super elite qualified to join Dullahan, Ootori Ouka has been enlisted in their platoon. Takeru who is the captain, goes with Ouka and the others on a mission to recover a Magical Heritage, however——. The revived "Hero" is walking on earth, will he be sent back by the girl's gun? Or maybe by the boy's sword?! A school action fantasy awaits!

It's been a few years and i'm wondering if you plan on ever finishing the very last two volumes of "Another mission"? My OCD is going nuts knowing those aren't finished
At this point, Another Mission is probably the only thing on my mind that I would translate. Everything else is either picked up by official publishers or stalled in original version.
I have some translations I never released for a WN that I never announced to pick up too.
Probably gonna turn this blog into one for original content sometime in the near future. Probably in Japanese.
Hope to see this updated and completed soon.
I really hope to see the last two volumes here fully translated i've stuck with this series since volume 2 and this is like my 3rd or 4th time ever posting. Really hope you come back to this Krytyk. Thanks for all your hard work
Are the 'Another Mission' volumes going to be fully translated?
Maybe. I do have some attachment to Antimagic, after all.
I am not sure how did i miss this but i am grateful to see one of the LN fully seems translated.
I hope i can thank you directly to the people who works on this.
Thank you so much
Who is it?
Don't tell me it's not one of the heroines, but someone else?
Read AMA again, It's obvious from the underlying subtext.
who do you think it is?
Who the hell did he end up with? That's what I want to know.
Great story and thanks a lot dude,
News on the manga:
Seven Seas will compile the entire Anti-Magic Academy: The 35th Test Platoon manga series in a single omnibus edition. The omnibus will be released on November 7, 2017 for $19.99 US / $22.99 CAN
Can Someone Upload epubs for Finished Volumes for Downloading Please.
Thank you for the work
and thank you for the "Full text" version.
much easier to make a file that I can put on my kindle to read during lulls at work
Can someone sent me a link to vol 13 pdf please.
dun have one but if you want one and you have word, go to the "full text" copy paste it all and save as a pdf
though there are also websites taht'll do that as well.
I suppose I'll read this...
《3 chapters later》- meh, me no like .
To each their own I guess but 3 Chapters? Unless it's a One-Shot, at least finish 2 Volume
Please translate the next volume. I'm begging you. You and anti-magic are what got me into light novels, and now that you're up again, I really can't wait for the next volume. I speak, but cannot read, Japanese, so I may be able to help on that account. Otherwise, I am an expert english speaker, and on that note, if you need any help, just email me at the email I left below. I really hope to see this amazing work be finished soon!
Thank you again, sir
Shade
It was august of 2015, last year, when I started reading LNs. My brother died in a motorcycle accident, and to comfort myself, I read. I read all day and all night. I finished the entire 12 volumes that had been published then in less than 36 hours. Now, the only thing I can give is respect, and I think respect you very well deserve. If you would acknowledge my respect, I will happily do anything I can for you.
Thank you, sir.
You're welcome, and next volume will be translated in due time™. I have my own life to live aside from translations.
Are you still translating volume 13 of this?
Any PDF for books that is fully translated, I need it so next time this novel disappear I have a copy to re-read it.
There are only 13 volumes of this LN am i right?
13 plus two short story volumes.
Are you going to translate the two short story volumes before OSO too?
No. Main volumes take priority before short story volumes. Always.
Yeah baby its back!!
Thnx krytyk!!
Just wondering if there are PDF's made available to download these Novels
Hey i just found this in the Internet while i was roaming around aimlessly
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8GYGtKwdjdwc0dzX0NTNGZSS1k/view?usp=drivesdk
P.S. if there's gonna be a 3rd another mission volume do you think it gonna be lapis and kiseki on the cover or lapis,takeru and kiseki
Looks like amazon's cover. A proper quality cover should be out in a day or two, and I'll have the book itself in less than two weeks. And no, there will be no more antimagic. This will be the last book of the series.
well i just thought it was kinda interesting for a third another mission to come out
THERE IS A G-D IF ANTI-MAGIC IS BACK!!!!!!!!
The hell's with that cover! Is that Kiseki?! She looks so pretty... Until you realize that those things in her hands are some poor guy's guts. It must've been the sacrifice required for Volume 12 to be translated. Well, for Volume 13 you can have my guts too! XD
That's a pomegranate.
Was volume 12 translated last year? I'm very confused if I've read it yet since I recall reading all the volumes on the site before it was removed...
This is a great series!!!
If only someone also translate Dungeon ni Deai wa Machigatteiru
It's being translated by Yen Press, buy it.
Krytyk, Is this LN series completed in Japan?
Tomorrow comes last story volume.
限りなき願いをもって――神に与える鉄槌を! OДO How would this be in Latin... Malleus Deorum? LOL
Damn! V13 seems so Epic! Cant wait till it's out >_<
Switch out maleficarum to deorum, yeah.
Do you have Antimagic in PDF?
Nope. All antimagic media was taken down from the site and meanwhile, I did some massive edit on them... so nope.
Hey, Kry, My friend made the PDF/ePUBs from scratch yesterday, so I can drop the link if you want.
Well, Bareus is the gallery's caretaker :3. If he has time, why not.
Alright, I'll drop the link in gallery later.
I have Antimagic PDFs (vol 1-11)
Holy Crap! I thought this series was done for once it was "dropped" from sidebar long ago. 6+ months later I see it continue. Thanks so much Krytykal not only for translating this but for giving us freeloaders a chance to finish this awesome series. 😀
Volume 12 - The Promise of Dawn
Should be
Volume 13 - The Promise of Dawn
I HAVE THE POWER!
which follows the story or read it again?
Ahhhhh fuk. They put his sister's arc into the anime. I don't think I can handle watching that :'( :'(
The latest episode of the anime is an extra episode (2 actually) taken from the "Another Mission" volume - 35th Drunken platoon and Crazy summer time
http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo183/deadtoxic/Antimagic_zpsxtmrjctr.jpg
Think that they may drag the episodes to stop in the middle of the currently released LN volumes ... so second season might be possible, cause MAL says only 12 episodes this season ...
yeah, it really is a shame i finally find a good light novel adaptation that's of all the genres i enjoy, and it only gets 12 episodes :(
i really hope they'll have at least another season... but then again, 'pet girl of sakurasou' also ended the anime in the middle of the LN volumes. i'd be so sad if the same happened to antimagic academy
Can anyone let me know if the series is done? Is volume 11 (and 'Another Mission') the last volume, or will the series still continuing?
It should still continue, volume 11 left everything unfinished so there should be at least one more volume, personally I hope more haha.
I just binge read the entire 11 volumes over the past week and all i can say is... BRUH.
Also if he chooses Ouka over Lapis ima go insane.
p.s. thanks for all the great work! :D
I would be glad if he chooses Ouka rather than Lapis. Ouka's the best gril.
mari's the best gril bruh. 😛
Disguy@ hey man do you think ikaruga suginami is busexual or is she straight?
What volumes have romance between kusanagi and a heroine?! Pls😂
All of them.
https://a.pomf.cat/tincnu.webm
the only good thing to came out of the anime
Awesome, thought the same thing when I saw that scene.
My friend asked me what God does on his days off, I told him he translates Anti-Magic Academy.
Thanks a lot man.
Go is pretty good reading. I would like to translate the novel into my language. While there is an animated series, I like to first read the original work and compare it. Congratulations and thanks to this online.
Maybe I'm quite blind, but I can't find the epubs. Can someone tell me where I can find them?
Thanks :D
Believe it or not I just found them myself, you need to go to the top of the page and below the picture that appears where there is the name of AntiMagic along with other light novels, you go to the one that says 'File Gallery', you click on it and roll down, you should find them there.
Hope that helps.
Krytyk-sama. You may want to see this https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2015/11/13/anti-magic-academy-grows-ever-darker/
Damn it , the plot is too dark. I can't take it anymore , the author should add some romantic scenes
You didn't read Elvenblood, THAT one is dark.
id say the muv luv schwarzenmarken is much darker but ...
Hi! I just wanna say thank you for the translations and the very convenient epubs. I just started reading AntiMagic Academy after watching the anime and came here for the lns. I also want to say that you guys have the nicest website among LN translation websites. Its really easy on the eyes and very organized. And i really appreciate having a separate tab for epubs as its easier to find than having to wade thru the comments section.
Thank you again and please keep up the good work!
Can someone tell me plz if Ikaruga Suginami is bi sexual I'm want to start reading soon I really need to know or does she just love Takeru Kusanagi ?
Whether or not she likes women is unconfirmed, but it is confirmed that she loves Takeru.
LOL dudes the anime switched the story line episode 5 that is suppose to be the start of the suginami's story arc became usagi's story arc
Yeah, probably they skipped it because of that certain lewd scene with Suginami. lol
I hope they just changed the order and they will go to Ikaruga's arc next, also maybe it's just because I read the novels but anyone else thinks they rushed things WAY, and I mean, WAY too much?
My guess it's they changed the order since Ikaruga's arc it's a little darker than Usagi's so it matches better with Takeru's arc, yeah i think they are kind of rushing but there again my guess it's they might be taking it slowly in Takeru's arc.
Ikaruga arc has started ... they just swapped the arcs -_-
and here's the scene :P
http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo183/deadtoxic/AA_zpsdzfe9llu.jpg
True it is rushed but think they are trying to fit all the volumes to 6 or 7 in one 12 episodes or get the whole series in 24 to 26 episode
with the current speed, i wont be surprised if they cover it in 13-14 episodes -_-
Does anyone have the completed pdf batch? eg 1-11?
From all the digging i have only found
1,2,3,X,X,6,7,8,X,10,11 . 4, 5 and 9 are missing [or i just didnt find hard enough]
http://www.mediafire.com/download/12rwmhbecklf7k6/Taimadou.rar
mediafire link not working
Discounting the side story volume coming out next month, is the next antimagic volume going to be the end or is there going to be a volume 13?
Who knows. There is a possibility but ultimately there's no way to tell.
This is just my own thinking of it, but I doubt next one will be the last, even if they manage to take down Sougetsu, or whatever they plan on doing considering they can't kill him, they still have Mother Goose/Gungnir to deal with and the first Suginami that was experimenting on Kiseki.
Maybe I just simply don't want this to end so that can affect my thinking of it haha.
Also, do you know what the side story will be about?
Several disjointed side stories. Confirmed ones are a side story from Takeru's middle school and a swimsuit side story.
Well, two days more and I'll know.
Thanks for answering and also for the translations.
Hello! I just wanna say thank you for this translation! This is the first ever LN that I read and I'm enjoying it so far. I've recently gotten into watching anime per season and Anti-Magic is definitely one of my faves this season! I've really, really like it from episode 1 but some things were not clear enough so I decided to read the LN. So much has been left out in the anime :/ Anyway, thanks for the hard work!
You're welcome, I hope you can bear with the slightly inferior (as compared to my current standards) translations for volume 2 to 7 ^_^. Don't have time to go through them to have 'em up to par with others.
What are your thoughts on the anime
rushing too much
they rushed it like i've never seen before
it's the definition of a shitty adaption
It's pretty decent so far and frankly vol 5 is only real good stopping point hence the rushing. Any other book before that one simply leave anime only viewers with the impression of mediocre show school harem show, and they only have 12 episodes to work with. So I think the pace that SL going at is right even if not ideal because vol 5 onwards where this series truly starts displaying it's potential.
not sure about that
i dont think that adapting a whole volume of a ln of the size of antimagic in 2 episodes can ever be consider decent
What are you talking about? AMA isn't longer than your average LN. The adaptation itself has been pretty decent and covered half of vol 2 well in just one episode. The show way worse with rushing then it is with it's circumstances, but it isn't unless you a huge purist.
no that long? well perhaps but that doesnt mean 2 episodes its nearly enough look at tooaru the first vol adaptation took like 6 episodes
same whit hataraku maousama
and they also didnt seem that long when i read them
but a good adaptation must give the feeling that the ln gave as well and you cant do that if you take away that many details
it also feels rushed and unatural like when ouka told kusanagi about her past in the anime( its not exatly even explained her past) it doesnt fell smooth
any adaptation that put in 2 episodes a whole volume cant be called decent for it changes the flow to much making it feel forced
I'm not getting you point here. Those shows you mentioned had like every other anime varied based on pacing and how the staff wanted to accomplish. Arcs and episodes are done in the 2 or 3 or stretched to entire season based based on episode format and scheduling, not because having 2 or 6 episodes is the only way to adapt something.
what the guy from below said also im not sure if i can make myself any clearer ?
if the adaptation changes the feeling of the ln, makes it feel forced, takes away entire scenes , ( like the scene where you see ouka enjoy anpan) cuts pretty much the ln in half by skiping all of the details than its not in any way a good adaptation
and there doesnt exist a ln , regardless of how "short" the size might be considered that can enter in 2 episodes that are arround 45min long in total
and even if you take the smallest there can be like katanagatari wich was posted on magazines rather than book format each episodes was about 50 to an hour long and they still skip a couple of things
there isnt an adaptation that can not skip things that its just not possible after all but what they are doing whit antimagic its just nowhere near decent
The thing is.... the AMA anime is only 1 cour, and the staff plans to adapt 9 volumes. This will result in a lot of details omitted just like what have you seen in the first 2 episode. Because of this, the impression the secondaries will have on AMA is "SHALLOW CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT".
2 episodes for 1 volume of a light novel adaption is nowhere near decent.
The only problem I really have about the adaption is why the fuck did the staff decided to adapt 9 volumes in 1 cour.
Probably only one cour with 5 volumes.
The quality is way below what I expect, both this and Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan (No idea why they translate only the "Eiyuutan" to become Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry).
For Taimadou, it rush so much that seem like no detail from the novel is there. No other comment needed.
And Rakudai Kishi turn into a harem show. I mean, who care about the girl, you can give them the whole episode of flashback and back story if you want, but leave Ikki scene alone. Less fanservice, more action. The action scene is great though, but with 12 episode for 6 Volume, I guess I can't ask for much.
The only thing I want to watch this season is One-Punch Man.
Can I get the PDF file of this LN series? In case this LN is licensed.
Okay, where did the author said that they are adapting 9 volumes for the anime? I don't see it..
Thanks for the superb translations! Really a fan of this novel series too. Keep up the great work!
I cannot access to chapter 3 or further in volume 11 TAT
Me neither.
Chapter 3 and further translations are still in progress
You should probably change the sentence where it says "ten volumes" to eleven volumes on top of the page
I hate it when good LNs get an anime release. Most of the time they get licensed and we gonna get some DMCA up in our grill.
If Antimagic is licensed, I'll just take it off immediately.
And pick up a different novel instead.
/shrugs
If anything, I'm a supporter of licensing. What fan translators do is grey zone, if it's possible to obtain translations legally, supporting the authors and publishers at the same time, I'm all for it.
I know that too, and I know that licensing is a good thing for the author and all that. My annoyance towards licensing comes from the fact that I live in an area where licensed translations are not available in the local market. Sure you can say I and the readers from my country can order online, but most people like me, cannot afford to do so. Its not that I am not happy for the authors gaining success, im just sad that these licensed novels will be unavailable to me and a lot of people for the forseeable future.
#3rdworldissues.
Reading about your issues and checking out your name, it looks like you're from my Philippines. The major issue here is purchasing goods online. Applying for credit card is really hard, you need a stable job and earning higher than the average(here). Maybe 10% of the total population have credit cards. I'm one of those few people got a credit card(but I discontinued it once I found a good alternative). But fear not, there are ways to acquire these without using credit cards:
1. Order from local bookstores. I only tried the service of Fullybooked and was able to pre-order few books that are about to be released in US, they are Fire & Ash(4th book of Benny Imura series) and Ex-Purgatory(4th book of Ex-Heroes series). I received the books 2 weeks after its release in US and I think it is fine. I also asked them English-translated LNs like Accel World and Danmachi, they said I can order those books. Though I didn't order them because I lost interest on those stories because of how slow Yenpress in releasing. It will take few more years before they would be able to catch up to the latest fan-translated chapters.
2. Pre-paid Cards. This is similar to debit cards but was recognized online as credit cards. I only tried RCBC's pre-paid card because it is a lot cheaper than the other options, plus I do have a savings account with them so online transactions becomes a lot more cheaper. I also have BPI's but never used it since I acquired it last year because every transaction costs quite a bit. I have 2 co-workers that are using Metrobank's pre-paid cards and they are satisfied with the service.
2.1. If you're going to purchase goods online and shipping costs a lot or they don't ship to our country, you may use Johnny Air Cargo's service. Try to check this blog on how to use their service(http://kikay.exchange.ph/2011/04/04/beginners-guide-to-johnny-air-cargo-services). Or try to visit their outlets for more details.
Paypal, you can send money to Paypal via normal bank transfer even without credit cards. Heck, where I live you can send money to Paypal from a damn post office.
We in Russia don't have problems with credit cards at all. And I already bought several LNs from Yen Press/Yen On in ebook form (they sell them only to N.America officially thought).
Normal savings account here can't be use for transferring money to your Paypal account, and only few banks allow to receive money from Paypal. Opening and maintaining a savings account here costs a lot. It becomes free if it is a payroll account. We're in a backward country. Really unfortunate. Good thing there are alternatives that are opening up.
hi there
i wanted to ask but what you say my aply to where you live but what do i do when i live in arequipa peru , where i searched every book store and not one even new that yen press exist , im a minor so that means i cant buy online copy whit out the help of my parents who think anything that has "pictures on it" its not a book and pretty much hate anything that isnt patriotic? but even so i still ask some relatives in lima(capital) to buy the early editoin of sao , yet what i got was a horrible ... im not even sure what to call it , the illustrations where changed, it was localized to american refrences? the order of names changed , the overall feeling and flow , and of course the enjoyment where no where as good as the fan tran . and it cost me a lot like in the end between 25 to 30$ (buy the way its not just sao but they also arent doing a good enough job whit NGNL?
im not saying that you shouldn't buy licensed works but that they dont really give the quality that they should
so before taking them down they should give a minimun of quality and accessibility
other wise they are just limiting the amount of people that can enjoy the culture even more witch prevenst the culture from spreading?
and when a culture doesnt grow it either dies or becomes very localized , and wouldnt that just be sad?
sorry if i sounded rude or whiny also i dont know if this comment its appropriate? if its not then please erase it im not trying to deny any opinion i just wanted to .... express myself i guess?
Do you think too make copys of Antimagic as files and release them into the net so people can keep reading them even when it's taking down
It's not entirely about that. Like I said the publishers get 90% of their profit from physical versions, not from the web leechers who continue repeating like mantra that "they hate licensing because it's slow", despite the main reason being not wanting to buy it. It's the issue of ethics, while fan translations make sense when there's no license, it's only the right thing to take it down when its licensed.
Urk, "free reader".
well... i going to ask absurd question first...
if it's somehow antimagic licensed.. but for some reason it's stopped half-way what will you do?
I'll see when that time comes.
well, when project stopped halfway did the copyright also void?
Nope!
Hence Tokyopop's collapse stopped the localization of so many series back in the day...
I hate licensing that doesn't translate after making 1 or volume like yen press and ebook.
Give me a name of a single novel yen press licensed and stopped translating after volume 1.
it's just have small chance, but mostly the on licensed are the manga...
you can see some like
seirei no kenbu
date a live
magika kenshi
ect,.
most of author(the one want lincesed work) seek manga since it's more profitable
WTF 12 episode anti magic that very for this series T_T
Is it really only going to be 12 episodes?
Who knows, that author stated that it's going to adapt 9 volumes of the series which makes it impossible to do all that in a 12 episodic anime.
Expecting it to be split cour. So 12 episodes in the fall season, and 12 episodes again in Spring Season.
Anime started airing :)
Though Character design is not as good as the ones in the LN, its quite good ^^
http://www.animechiby.com/taimadou-gakuen-35-shiken-shoutai/
Dont be too excited for an anime. If it gets a good following, yen press will license this and no one can translate it anymore.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep It Up!!!!!!!!
are u currently retranslating some volumes cause u arent satisfied with the quality? and i just wanna ask but which chapters have u retranslated?
I re-translated entire volume 1. I plan to re-translate at least volume 2 and 3. Then thoroughly edit everything else.
Though it will take time for me to do it as I have active main translation projects to do.
ok thanks. ^_^. just asking what do u mean by thoroughly editing everything else?
I mean I'm going to look through for awkward phrasing, make sure there are no mistranslations by checking everything makes a logical whole and erase all the furigana as well as move the explanations to glossary.
Just watched the first episode of Antimagic... was anyone else disappointed, I feel like its going way to fast.
definitely feels rushed. lots of exposition got cut and even reasons why kusanagi uses swords and the past between them is missing. are they really making 2 episodes / volume? I'd rather have 3/4 eps
well yeah .. they will end the first volume in 2 more episode too fast too fasr
I've read somewhere in the Afterword (IDK what volume it is) that it'll adapt until Volume 9 and it's 24 episodes long and Silver link which is responsible for the adaptation of this LN has 2 more projects.
I hope that they wouldn't skip the growth of each character
So when is theupdatey
Just a small error, volume 11 is listed as volume 10.
Well, fixed!
btw, which volumes are you planning to retranslate? I'm going to start reading through everything once the particular ones are redone.
At least first three. Maybe four. The ones from 5 to 9 will get a thorough edit.
Of course, the work on that will be spread over a long time, but I plan to see through it.
Do you have Antimagic academy 11 volume illustrations?
Krytyk, thank you for doing a far better job with these novels than I ever did with the manga. It's inspiring to read.
Well, I still do want to go over the early chapters because I'm not satisfied with quality. But now I don't have that much time.
Since no one is making it, here's vol 2,3,4 (black background)

I put them down because I'm going to retranslate those volumes.
Untill when will these translations be finished? How much has this progressed at the moment? :)
I didn't know if krytyk was finished retranslating them so I held off on making dark background PDFs for those volumes, sorry.
Thanx. By the way where is the rest? 1, 5-10
Thanks for the translation Krytyk! XD Really enjoyed this series!! Can't wait for vol10 part2!! When will the pdf be available?
Красавчик! Спасибо за твой нелегкий труд!

Nevermind found it!
I think I'm gonna be your fans, Krytykal-san~ xD
I really love LN, thanks for the translation~ X3
