'''Mx0''' ''(Emu Times Zero)'' is about a [[Hot Blooded|hot-tempered]] boy named Taiga Kuzumi who has failed the entrance exam to Seinagi Private High School. With [[Laser -Guided Amnesia|little memory of what had actually happened]], he sets out to confront the girl who had burst out laughing at him during his interview, sure that she is to blame, only to be mistaken by a teacher for trying to sneak ''out'' instead of ''in''. Turns out that Seinagi is actually a [[Wizarding School]], and due to a complicated chain of events ending in said teacher being blown up, now everyone believes him to be an elite magic user--[[Stranger in A Strange School|when he can't use magic at all]]!
 
Now Taiga has to put his wits to the test in order to keep up that cover, or both he and the teacher will be in very big trouble.
Line 14:
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Mizuki likes Taiga, but he is blind to her affections. [[Blood Knight|Koishikawa]] likes Mizuki, but she disliked him even before she started to crush on Taiga. [[Cute Monster Girl|Lucy]] has a thing for Taiga, but he can't even fathom loving her or Mizuki because he is crazy for Hiragi. Who also has a thing for him. {{spoiler|And then the series ends without settling any of the romantic subplots.}}
** Subverted by [[Lightning Bruiser|Tsugawa]] and [[Class Representative|Megane]] they start dating midway through the series and stay together happily ever after to the best of our knowledge.
* [[Anti -Magic]]: Taiga eventually trades in his fake magic card for one whose sole ability is to use up the points stored on it to create an anti-magic field. After sufficient training, Taiga is able to control the field's size, shape, and location around him.
* [[The Archer]]: Daimon's specialty. And it's frightening.
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Taiga manages to defeat several powerful mages by seeing their power and using their own limitations against them. During the Class matches he defeats two people, defeated one forced the other to retreat, only taking one injury because he knew exactly how to work around their power after seeing it once before, and he only used some twigs and two rocks.
Line 48:
* [[Distant Finale]]: [[Too Good to Last|Quite abruptly]].
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Mizuki says this but she really only seems to dislike her [[Stalker With a Crush]]. [[Tsundere|Also there is no way that she at all in any way likes Taiga!]]
* [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma]]: When the girls with the [[Gainaxing|largest bust size use magic to make their boobs lighter and then pass out]], Ise Kaoru, gets this trope thrown in his face when he starts to ogle. The boys get over their initial trepidation though...
* [[Empathic Weapon]]: Nagai's hat Rocky.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Everyone knows that Taiga and Hiragi love each other except them...
Line 55:
** Most of the Third-Year Magic Executive Committee members faces are not shown.
* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]: Taiga. Everybody thinks he has a Gold Plate and is capable of destroying the Home Ec room with one spell and defeating a teacher. Of course, he can't use magic period and has to bullshit everything.
* [[Five -Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Taiga Kuzumi
** [[The Lancer]]: Kaoru Ise
Line 78:
* [[Hot for Teacher]]: While it wasn't her teacher in particular, Kokuha does develop a crush on Hiiragi-sensei
* [[Human Shield]]: Taiga uses a couple in the first chapter while fighting Ise.
* [[ItsIt's Personal]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mx0/c034/3.html Koishikawa] finds out his crush likes Taiga.
* [[Inertia Is a Cruel Mistress]]: A magic student in the magic game specialized in warp magic. However, the process took a very long time and in the meantime,[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mx0/v05/c039/16.html the two halves were in separate locations.] [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity Ensued]].
* [[Inspector Javert]]: Vice-Principal Kagami despises any rule-breaker regardless of mitigating reasons. {{spoiler|He starts an investigation of Taiga due to inconsistencies that could expose not just Taiga's unorthodox and rules-violating entry into school but also ruin Hiragi-sensei and the Principal.}}
Line 86:
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: The Former Principal.
* [[Lap Pillow]]: Taiga gets one from Lucy during an exam and she is ecstatic about it.
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: Taiga's memory of the entrance exam, the [[Lotus Eater Machine]] challenge, and {{spoiler|what happens to students when the graduate}}, among other things.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Tsugawa is the fastest man in class F! No, really he uses a [[Hover Board|skateboard]] and is a fast a tough fighter. Although his magic messes up more often than not.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Kuzumi Kokuha, a champion martial artist, she can kick Taiga's ass, in fact, the fact she used Taiga as a 'punching bag' for so long is the reason he is so tough now.
Line 108:
** [[Retired Badass|Rendou Niigaki]] who retired from teaching at the school but helps Taiga level up his M0.
** {{spoiler|[[Spirit Advisor|Otoya Hanasaki,]] the previous principal, Otome's father, and the only one who can create Black Plates.}}
* [[One -Liner]]: Hilariously parodied with Taiga, who's forced to come up with increasingly sappy repartees to cover up for his lack of magical talent. Of course, the excuses never fail to impress his audience.
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: {{spoiler|Otoya Hanasaki}} possesses Taiga's body while the later is working on an upgrade of his plate. While Taiga cannot use magic, the ghost possessing him still has access to his magic he had in life. [[Hilarity Ensues]]
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: The only person we ever see in Taiga's family is his abusive older sister Kokuha. Do they never question why he come home beaten up from school just about every day?
Line 143:
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Hiragi can turn herself invisible with her powers, but when Taiga had to face her once he kept yelling bad puns to make her laugh and give away her position.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]: Daimon openly insults Hiragi's illusion magic as it has no offensive powers.
** [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]/[[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: When Kuzumi defeats Daimon, despite the latter's powerful offensive magic, Kuzumi {{spoiler|points out when Daimon faced against Higari-looking-like-Kuzumi, she marked his [[Golden Snitch|King's crown]] with the last of her magic and that is what allowed Kuzumi to track him even in the dense forest.}}
* [[What Measure Is a Non -Human?]]: Students and teachers alike see no problem with grinding up fully sentient Mandrakes, after all even if they are mentally the same as humans and feel love and pain just as we do they are just ugly plants if you take away their illusion magic.
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Taiga only has his anti magic supernatural ability wise.
** Ise Kaoru in class F can only makes things magnetic, but after Taiga gave him some ideas on how to use it he became [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway|quite good with it.]]
