The Lord-Magear's Apprentice TP (2026)

When one mercenary is ordered to defeat the wizard who saved him, he has only one choice: to become a sorcerer’s apprentice! A fantastical manga about fate, loyalty, and magic. From the creator of Darwin's Game! As a child, Gar the mercenary's life was saved by the legendary archmage Kuon. Years later, he joins a knight order tasked with hunting rogue mages—but the mission ends in disaster when a single sorcerer wipes them out with terrifying power. Facing certain death, Gar is rescued once again by Kuon…and somehow ends up becoming his apprentice. Now, a soldier who’s never cast a single spell must learn from one of the greatest mages alive. Can a warrior who’s lived by the sword survive the world of sorcery?

HIGH-SEAS SORCERY! In order to help Jinzah, whose family has been abducted by the slave trader Kahja Salam, Gar and his companions set out to track down the kidnappers. Kahja's right-hand man is revealed to be the merciless beastman mercenary, Lion King Darius! Gar and Kuon somehow manage to catch up with Darius, but find themselves separated, and without any magic, Gar must face the beast on his own!

A SCHOOL FOR SORCERY! Gar is finally about to learn magic from Kuon, but his first training session is fraught with difficulty. Why is he being taught magic to extinguish fire instead of how to wield it as a weapon?! Kuon must then engage in a fierce large-scale magic battle with Kahja, while Gar is left alone and still with no magic…until a new enemy appears and a new life-threatening battle begins!
