'''''[[Mabaka! - Magic is for Idiots!''']]'' is a [[Web Serial Novel]] written by veteran [[Fan Fiction]] writer, [[Tropers/Half Demon Cali|Half Demon Cali]], and is her first and major original work. It was first published on September 15th, 2009 on deviantART, and then on Fiction Press two months later, on November 8th. As of chapter 8-2, updates are only posted on Fiction Press. (The page title is a mistake. ''The Magic for Idiots'' was the beta title.)
 
[[Tsundere|Akemi]] [[Miko|Segawa]] is a [[Ordinary High School Student|first year student at Okashii High School]], who lives at an old shrine with her father. Her best friend [[Otaku|Rie]] is an occult enthusiast, her [[Genki Girl|Aunt Meiko]] is a [[Adult Child|40-year-old preteen]], and her [[Love Interest|boyfriend]] [[Only Sane Man|Daisuke]] is about the only normal character in the entire series so far. If it weren't for them, however, her life would be extremely and utterly dull, since she only thing she really does in her spare time is her chores. So basically, a typical female human [[Tsundere]] protagonist.
Line 19:
As the chapters progress on, a fairly large and colorful cast is assembled, and each with their own unique quirks to add to the fun. Character development really starts once all the introductions are done, and the amounts of [[Ship Tease]] between Akemi and Rokuro are taken to insane amounts for two people who are supposed to have platonic relationship.
 
There are currently thirty-one chapters published online (1-1 to 12-1). [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190928202111/https://www.fictionpress.com/s/2739233/1 Start here, if you wish]. Just be warned that Cali is in the midst of [[Grammar Nazi|rewriting her earlier chapters]] and that there will be slight inconsistencies. And word puns. [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Lots and lots of word puns]]. With cultural notes at the bottom of each chapter to explain.
 
A chapter guide is in production [[TheMabaka - Magic is for Idiots!/Recap|here]].

Line 72:
** And in an IRL example, Rokuro seems to have unintentionally garnered 94% of the female readers as ''his'' fangirls.
** And {{spoiler|Adult!Maruchi}} has probably stolen some of that percentage away...
* [[Fan Service]]: The author really likes dishing it out [https://web.archive.org/web/20140321085311/http://half-demon-cali.deviantart.com/art/Negative-First-Impressions-254659723 when] [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190928202112/https://www.deviantart.com/half-demon-cali.deviantart.com/art/Summer-02-215672428 she's] [http://half-demon-cali.deviantart.com/art/Summer-03-216802075 not]{{Dead link}} [http://half-demon-cali.deviantart.com/art/A-Long-Journey-278463775 writing.]{{Dead link}}
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Maruchi hates on all humans, not just Akemi. It's curious as to why he gets along with Shigeru...
** Shichi is apparently racist against humans, too. [[Big Eater|Until you give him food and he becomes your best friend.]]
