The Irregular at Magic High School, Vol. 1: Enrollment Arc, Part I

The blend of school life and magical battles creates a unique atmosphere. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this world from the start or developed it during writing.

The way magic is described feels deeply tied to character traits. How much of that was intentional in shaping their development?

The story explores class and talent, but I wonder if the author was drawing parallels to societal issues we face today.
