A New Magical Journey Begins
Renowned for creating beloved series like Missions of Love and Vampire Dormitory, Ema Toyama is ready to charm readers again with a brand-new fantasy tale. Mahō Renshūsei Riri Raspberry will officially launch in the November issue of Nakayoshi magazine, featuring a color opening page and the coveted cover spot for its debut.
The story follows Riri Raspberry, a lonely girl who has never known happiness. Her life changes when she is given the chance to enroll at Scientia, a prestigious academy where young students train to become wizards. At last, Riri believes she has found a place to belong—but her new life takes a mysterious turn when a strange incident occurs in her class, setting the stage for a magical and emotional adventure.
Ema Toyama’s Ever-Growing Legacy
Ema Toyama continues to prove her storytelling versatility with Riri Raspberry, blending heartfelt themes with fantasy settings. This announcement comes as her other works, Sare Koi: Reunited with the Ex-Boyfriend and Millennium Bride, continue serialization in Betsucomi Flower and ARTEMIS by Sirius, respectively. Her recent hit Vampire Dormitory also received a successful anime adaptation earlier this year, further solidifying her influence in the shoujo genre.
Toyama’s career began with breakout successes such as Missions of Love and Pixie Pop, and over the years she has earned a reputation for creating emotionally rich stories that balance romance, humor, and fantasy. Her works often explore themes of identity and belonging, making Riri Raspberry a fitting continuation of her creative evolution.
A Promising New Fantasy for Shoujo Fans
With its school-of-magic premise, Mahō Renshūsei Riri Raspberry promises to deliver the signature warmth and intrigue that Toyama fans adore. The series combines coming-of-age elements with a touch of mystery, inviting readers into a world where magic is more than just power—it’s the path to finding oneself.
As Toyama’s storytelling continues to inspire a new generation of manga readers, anticipation is high for Riri’s enchanting journey to unfold this Halloween season.
