A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special is based on a web novel by So-nan Yu and Uk-jakga, which was first published on KakaoPage from September 2016 to August 2019. It also received a webtoon adaptation with illustrations by Wookjakga, which KakaoPage started serializing in May 2018. It is published by Piccoma digitally and Kadokawa Shoten in print in Japan.
Yen Press has licensed the manga in English, and they describe the story:
Shadow Realms have ravaged the earth and decimated almost everyone in their way. The survival of humanity hinges upon the success of just six mages, including analytic fighter Desir Herrman. The remaining heroes make one final stand to end the bloodshed…but to no avail. Desir closes his eyes on what should be the end of his life—only to open them and see the beginning of his school days?! Desir has returned thirteen years back to the past, where he’s been given another chance. A chance to see the loved ones he lost, a chance to meet his fellow warriors again, and a chance to save the world…!
A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special Season 2 is scheduled to premiere in October 2026.
