The eleventh volume of the third series of A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Magical Index Genesis Testament, is now available in Japan.
This roughly 248-page volume features Touma, Anna Kingsford, and the returning Christian Rosencreutz. The following synopsis was previously revealed:
Touma Kamijou simply stood there trying to save Alice. However, all of the light in his life had been extinguished… his vital functions had ceased. On the last day of winter break, a certain boy in Academy City was confirmed dead.
And then… Emptiness. Empty space.
The place where Kamijou woke up was the very “illusion” he had been dispelling.
A woman named Anna Kingsford appeared there. But how did he get to this place? Surprised, Kamijou hears a certain proposal.
Wait a minute, is “such a thing” really possible…?

A Certain Magical Index originated as a light novel series before expanding into several other media, such as video games and manga adaptations. In fact, entire spinoffs have been birthed from Magical Index, including the significantly more popular A Certain Scientific Railgun.
Regardless, the Magical Index light novel is still ongoing, as it’s in the midst of its third series, Genesis Testament. The three seasons of the anime have adapted the first light novel series, known as the Old Testament. As of now, the second light novel series taking place right after the first, New Testament, has yet to receive an anime adaption.

While countless events and developments occur, A Certain Magical Index primarily follows protagonist Touma Kamijou, a high schooler residing in Academy City, a locale full of Espers. He is a Level 0, those whose Esper abilities are the lowest of the low.
However, Touma is different from the rest of the city since he seemingly has no latent Esper ability at all, instead possessing a mysterious power known as the Imagine Breaker in his right hand, which negates all supernatural phenomena. After meeting a young girl named Index, Touma ends up entangled in various plots involving the Science side and veiled Magic side of the world.
