According to Crunchyroll, the story follows two orphans – Yuno, with extraordinary magic powers, and Asta, the only person in the world without a single benefit of magic – who learn that when they reach the age of 15, they each gain a Grimoire, a magical book that enhances its owner’s magical abilities. Asta’s Grimoire holds a unique power of Anti-Magic, which serves to negate and ward off his opponent’s spells. Despite their opposing abilities, they both strive towards a common goal – becoming The Wizard King. There is no room for failure in this grand adventure!
