She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man

She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man (賢者の弟子を名乗る賢者) is a Japanese light novel series written by Hirotsugu Ryusen and illustrated by Fuzichoco. It began serialization as a web novel published on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō in April 2012. Micro Magazine later acquired the series, which began releasing it in print in June 2014 under their GC Novels imprint. Twenty-three volumes have been published as of December 2025. A manga adaptation by Dicca Suemitsu began serialization online via Micro Magazine's Comic Ride website in July 2016, which has been compiled into fourteen tankōbon volumes as of July 2025. Both the light novel and manga have been licensed in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment.[1] An anime television series adaptation by Studio A-Cat aired from January to March 2022.

Synopsis

The series follows Sakimori Kagami, who has been playing the online video game Ark Earth Online for a long time as the character Danblf, an old male sorcerer who is one of the game's nine great sages. One day after adjusting his character, he is sucked into the game world, and finds himself inhabiting his character's body, who after his adjustments looks like a young woman; he tries to convince the people of the game world that he is Danblf's pupil while figuring out on how to turn himself back to normal and escape the game world.

Characters

Nine Wise Men

The Nine Wise Men are the most powerful sorcerers serving the Arkite Kingdom. They are devoted to the absolute mastery of each specialty of the nine branches of Magic.

  • Mira (ミラ) / Danblf Gandagore (ダンブルフ・ガンダロール) / Sakimori Kagami (咲森 鑑)
  • A 27-year-old male Japanese VRMMO player who, after using a strange cash item called Vanity Case from the game, finds himself translocated into the setting of his role-plays, Ark Earth Online, and transformed not into his favorite character, the powerful magician Danblf Gandagore (ダンブルフ・ガンダロール; an obvious mingling of the names Gandalf and Dumbledore), but a cute, petite girl with silver hair and blue eyes, though he retains Danblf's sorcerous abilities. In order to explain her abilities, she passes herself off as a pupil of Danblf, who is considered an honored hero. As her new identity, she adopts the name Mira (after the English translation of her own name "Kagami", which means "mirror"). She later reveals her real identity to her companions.
  • Luminaria (ルミナリア)
  • A Wiseman - or rather, Wisewoman - of the Tower of Elementary Magic, she is a surprisingly young and beautiful red-haired woman with a happy-to-go personality. Luminaria is actually another male Ark Earth roleplayer who found himself displaced into the game's world in female form.
