Yen Press publishes Tsutomu Satou's original The Irregular at Magic High School light novel series and Mori's The Honor Student at Magic High School spinoff manga. Yen Press describes the spinoff's story:

A century has passed since magic - real, true magic, the stuff of legends - has returned to the world. It is spring - the season of new beginnings - and a new class of students is about to begin their studies at the National Magic Academy's First High School, nickname: Magic High.

A manga spin-off of the immensely popular light novel series The Irregular at Magic High School, The Honor Student at Magic High School follows the events of the original series as seen through the eyes of Shiba Miyuki, Tatsuya's sister. The life of an honor student comes with a lot of expectations...and unexpected hidden feelings?!

Hideki Tachibana (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? second and third seasons, Armed Girl's Machiavellism) directed the anime at studio CONNECT (Strike the Blood franchise, Armed Girl's Machiavellism). Takashi Watanabe (Aria the Scarlet Ammo, Boogiepop Phantom director) was the assistant director. Tsuyoshi Tamai (Strike Witches, Pastel Memories) wrote and oversaw the series scripts, and Ryōsuke Yamamoto and Takao Sano adapted Kana Ishida's designs for animation. Taku Iwasaki returned from the previous works in the franchise to compose the music.

The music unit Sangatsu no Phantasia performed the opening theme song "101." The idol group Philosophy no Dance performed the ending theme song "Double Standard."
