The Shounen Gangan magazine's April issue, which will be released on March 12, reveals that the light novel series Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry (A Chivalry of the Failed Knight) will receive an anime adaptation.
Riku Misora started the series in 2013, and it is illustrated by Won. It is published by SoftBank Creative under the GA Bunko label and has six volumes in print.
The series revolves around Mage-Knights, humans with supernatural powers who can materialize a weapon from their souls. Ikki Kurogane, dubbed as the "Failure Knight" for having no talent in modern-day magic, is a repeating student in an institution for Mage-Knights because of his failing grades. With the installation of a new head of the institution, a new rule was stated: knights with compatible abilities must share rooms and train together for the whole school year to maximize their abilities.
One day, Ikki encounters a half-naked girl, Stella Vermillion, who was changing in his room. It turns out that she is a princess of a foreign country and a Rank A Mage-Knight to boot. Stella challenges Ikki to a duel where the loser must be obedient to the winner. This fateful meeting changes Ikki's life as he strives to become a real Mage-Knight.
