The Adventure Begins in the Otome Game World
The latest release from Micro Magazine, 'Romantic Magic Academy – Aim for the Strongest in Otome Game World, Vol. 1,' is set to hit shelves on February 27, 2026. This comic is an adaptation of the popular light novel series from GC Novels, which has already captured the hearts of many fans. With its unique premise of focusing on dungeon exploration rather than the usual romantic pursuits typical of otome games, it’s creating quite a buzz among readers.
The protagonist, Aryus, finds himself reincarnated in an otome game as a cool, bespectacled character. Instead of indulging in romantic escapades, Aryus is determined to carve his path through intense battles and thrilling adventures. This twist on the genre presents a refreshing take that prioritizes action and personal growth over love interests.

Character Development Beyond Romance
The story places Aryus in a vibrant academy populated with beautifully designed characters, reminiscent of typical otome game settings.

Unlike the standard narrative of navigating romantic subplots, Aryus's journey is fueled by his ambition to become the strongest in his world.
