An interesting concept behind this series. Everyone can practice magic. Each individual has a limit to the number of times they can use magic. After the limit is reached, the magic-user disappears in a flash of smoke, ashes blowing in the wind. There are some people that can use magic thousands of times during their lifetime. Indeed, at the high school the show is placed in, the average is 8000 per student. It’s a magic high school for the elite.

Then there is Kazuki, descended from a long line of magic-users, who only has 8 magic uses left before he goes kaput. (There is a machine that measures to the amount of magic life left in a body) This puts him at something of a disadvantage with the rest of the students. Until it is revealed that Kazuki’s children will be the most powerful magicians of their generation. At which point every girl in the school wants some of Kazuki’s genes. Having powerful magicians in the family is a way of elevating social status and class. Yes, it turns into a ‘harem’ anime.

Of course, Kazuki has no interest in sharing his genes with anyone and the fun begins. Unbeknownst to most everyone, Kazuki is the most powerful magic user in the world and he proves it by making it snow in the summer (oops, down to 7 now) as a way to impress a girl he is fond of.

It will be interesting to see how the authors handle the growth of Kazuki and what will happen to him as he uses his magic to save and protect the people around him.

As is explained in the extras, Maho is “Magic”; rabu is “love” and Maburaho is a Japanese pun putting a backwards love inside magic. Please don’t try this at home, or I will hurt you.

Maburaho has tweaked my interest so I do want to see what will happen next to Kazuki. I will give this a 6 out of 10.
