Here's the first chapter of the PEA arc. I hope you all enjoy it. As always, let me know if you spot any mistakes and I'll endeavour to correct them ASAP.

Don't worry I haven't dropped the Yokohama arc, I'm still waiting on the replacement RAWs so I made a start with this arc since it's only 6 chapters.

i will never not read more mahouka manga. I'll even suffer through the butchering that is the yokohama adaptation.

@Leadrous : I think it's better to use "Older Shiba" instead of "Brother Shiba", since the main point of that usage is that he's the older of the two siblings, and not have the wrong impression of what 'brother' can imply in English.

Thanks for the feedback WhimsiCat and you make a good point. I agree that it's true that that is part of the meaning, but at the same time the use of Ani (older brother) rather than san is also rather informal and Kirihara isn't particularly close to Miyuki, nor is she present, so making such a distinction isn't necessary in the context. As such simply referencing he's the older Shiba doesn't convey the meaning of the change in honorifics which indicate he's being very casual and friendly which is why I went for brother in the end as given her absence the focus to me was more on the casual friendliness between them than the literal fact he's the older Shiba (I'd likely have reversed it and done as you suggested were Miyuki present).
