Story[]
Illyasviel von Einzbern is a seemingly ordinary middle school student with no knowledge of the magical world. When the Kaleidostick Magical Ruby selects Illya to become its new master, she becomes a Magical Girl who collects Class Cards together with another Magical Girl, Miyu.
Rin and Luvia were originally Magical Girls that were supposed to collect the Cards, but after trying to use Class Cards in a quarrel, Kaleidosticks abandoned them (in mid-air) and went on to independently search for new masters. Ruby made a contract with Illya, and Sapphire with Miyu.

Development[]
Early Logo when announced.
The setting of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA expands on elements introduced in 2005 by Fate/hollow ataraxia: the Mimic Tohsaka scenes and the character of Luviagelita Edelfelt. The Character Material book further hinted at the series with details about Illyasviel, Leysritt and Sella normal lives.[1]
Hiroyama explained in the first tankoubun of Prisma Illya that he originally had two plans: One about Rin and Luvia's rivalry in London, and another about Illya as a magical girl. Before presenting the plans to Nasu and Takeuchi, he thought the first plan would be a no-brainer. Unexpectedly, Nasu and Takeuchi chose the second one. It was his first commercial manga. He originally planned for the story to run only for one season, around 15 episodes, but since the serialization became a big success, they modified the plan and expanded the story to keep it going for longer.
In January 21, 2009, the TYPE-MOON Ace Volume 2 was published, it contained an oneshot called Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA - The Girls' Situation 2 which hinted the publication of a sequel story. It also features the first appearance of Auguste.[2]
In 2013, alongside the anime adaptation, it received a new edition, with the covers being redraw by Hiroshi Hiroyama.
