Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor #16

Volume 16 of *Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor* brings together a grinning, white-gloved instructor and three of his students — a silver-haired girl with animal ears, a blue-haired girl in a gold-trimmed academy uniform, and a cheerful blonde — all rendered with warm energy by artist Aosa Tsunemi from Taro Hitsuji's story and Kurone Mishima's original character designs. A faint magical circle floats in the background, hinting at the arcane academy world these characters inhabit. If you've been following this series, volume 16 looks like a genuinely fun continuation of the classroom adventures fans have come to enjoy.
