Magical School Lunar! (a.k.a. "Lunar: Magic School" or "Mahou Gakuen Lunar!" or "魔法学園ルナ!") was released for the Sega Saturn in 1997, as a side-story ("gaiden") to the popular Lunar series, after Lunar: The Silver Star and Lunar: Eternal Blue for the Sega CD. Magical School Lunar is a remake of the 1995 Game Gear game Lunar: Walking School (a.k.a. "Lunar: Strolling School" or "Lunar: Samposuru Gakuen"), but with drastic changes in animation, gameplay, characterization, and plot events. (If you're looking for the guide for the Game Gear version, check my Lunar: Walking School Walkthrough.) As of 2008, this is the only complete walkthrough/FAQ of Magical School Lunar. But, it's more than just a walkthrough; it's also a guide through all the events of the game, with translations and synopses throughout. Scroll down or use the menus to navigate through the walkthrough. The guide is divided into: Walkthrough Usage Notes and Special Thanks 5 Gameplay Sections (Controls, Menus, Characters, Places, Magic) 1 Prologue (before the first chapter) 12 Chapters (from start to finish of the game) I ask that you please read the Walkthrough Usage page before going through this guide; it will help you know how it is organized and the best way to use it--particularly if you want to avoid premature spoilers, or if you want to understand the events and dialogue of the game. I also request that you take a look at the Notes and Special Thanks section as well. Enjoy the game! KF ~Kizyr

How to Purchase

Magical School Lunar isn't easy to find, since it's only available via import. But, it's definitely possible to find--and play--if you keep your eyes open. Here are some links to help: Mad-Gear LLC: New and Used Import Video Games Check both the site and the convention schedule. Mad-Gear frequents several anime and video game conventions, and often has copies of Magical School Lunar for the Saturn available for $20-$30. They're also great for picking up any of the other import Lunar games, and imports in general. eBay A generic search for "lunar school" tends to work the best. Zophar's Domain This is the best place to check out for emulation-related news. If you don't have a Saturn itself, there are a few decent Saturn emulators out; Cassini and SSF tend to work well. The emulators will work with the original Japanese game disc. Neither tends to be as smooth as playing it on a regular Saturn, but performance may vary depending on your computer.
