But this new title, Jade Street Protection Services, has its own twist on the idea, as it focuses on a school filled with modern teenage girls who have sorcery-based powers (but there's no Harry Potter vibe here).
Their training seems very militaristic, as they learn to conjure themselves into a battle-ready form - but they still suffer from the same insecurities, jealousies and struggles that face any teen.
The focus is on a class of five girls and their less-than-friendly instructor, who seems to have a mysterious agenda that casts a dark light on the purpose behind the school.
It's an interesting, fresh take on the academy concept from writer Katy Rex and artist Fabian Lelay - it's perhaps a little rough around the edges (and lots of questions to be answered), but Jade Street offers lots of promise.
Grade: B+
