Story Overview: The Shocking Truth Behind the Yotsuba Family

This theatrical film adapts one of the most beloved arcs from the original light novel series. The story is set in the year 2096, nearly a century after magic became an established real-world technology.

Tatsuya Shiba, burdened with a critical flaw as a mage and labeled an "irregular," and his sister Miyuki Shiba, a flawless prodigy praised as a model student, have always lived together as a close-knit pair — despite their vastly different standings. That peace is shattered by the arrival of a single letter.

The New Year's Gathering That Will Decide Their Fate

The letter is an invitation from the Yotsuba main family, summoning the siblings to the clan's New Year's gathering — the New Year's Gathering (慶春会).

At this assembly, presided over by the current family head Maya Yotsuba and the heads of all branch families, the next successor of the Yotsuba Family will officially be named. And with that announcement comes a shocking revelation that has been hidden behind the siblings' entire lives.
