Peppermint Academy, Vol. 1

Aseem Kirtley is a fifteen-year-old high school freshman who receives the rank of «Peculiar» after performing in the Jedwimburgh High Magicathlon. Due to this, he's abruptly expelled from Jedwimburgh High and immediately enrolled into the Peppermint Academy of Maids and Magic: an all-girl school where young women are instructed in the art of «Magicae Ancilla (Maid-Magic)». Unbeknownst to him at the time, his reason for enrollment is only a ruse cooked up by the city council and the Board of Mages to keep the truth about him from spreading all over town.

On his first day at Peppermint, he meets the Student Council President- Julita Redburn-a seventeen-year-old Junior who's often tasked with showing new students around campus. Aware of Aseem's unique case, she takes express interest in him, eventually letting the cat out of the bag about what it really means to be ranked as «Peculiar».
