The Magician Who Rose From Failure might be yet another isekai reincarnation manga, but it's structured like an old-school Shonen Jump series, following a protagonist who must work extra hard just to be on the same level as everyone else.

Anna Williams — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 18:30:16 GMT

Christmas-themed episodes in romance anime aren't rare by any means; however, for many series, the gift-giving holiday is often used as an adorable filler device.

Placed near the climax of the story, "Christmas Eve Festival" is centered on the Christmas party being held at their school. After being pushed by Taiga to invite then-love interest Minori, he gets dressed up and pairs off with Taiga to attend the party.
