Al the Adventurer: That Magic Shouldn't Work! (Manga) Vol. 1

In a land of magic, one young man uses his powerful abilities in a rather peculiar way. Journey with Al on his path to becoming a master magician-light novels also from Seven Seas! Kidnapped by goblins at the age of three, young Al's life was saved by his grandfather's dazzling magic-sparking a fascination that would shape his destiny. Determined to wield such power himself, Al devoted the next twelve years to relentless study and training.

But even after all that preparation, his true journey is only just beginning. Now an official adventurer, Al sets out to uncover the legendary Book of Spells, a rare tome said to hold secrets beyond imagination. Yet as he ventures across the land, it becomes clear that his style of magic is anything but ordinary.

With unorthodox techniques and boundless passion, Al must prove whether his unusual methods will make him a hero-or doom his quest before it even begins.
