The official website of The irregular at magic high school anime's new sequel television series started streaming a character promotional video for Miyuki Shiba, voiced by Saori Hayami, on Sunday.

To commemorate the third season, the anime will hold a "Magic High School Entrance Exam" on a special website from March 1-15. The website will launch on February 12 at 6:00 p.m. JST (4:00 a.m. EST) with a practice exercise workbook for the exam. Also on that same day, the main Animate Gamers branch in Tokyo and the Animate Osaka Nipponbashi store will hand out physical exercise workbooks. People who take the examination and share their results can enter a drawing for student identification cards.
