Development [edit]

Kazuma Kamachi started his work with A Certain Magical Index when he received a call from Kazuma Miki, the light novel editor, subsequently his submission was rejected at the 9th Dengeki Game Novel Prize (now Dengeki Novel Prize) in 2002.^[2] Miki began to train him in writing multiple test novels, including a story about a girl sister and a male child with a mysterious arm which became the ground for his light novel.^[iii]

In his essay titled If It's Interesting Anything Goes: 600 Million Copies Printed—The Day in the Life of a Sure Editor, Miki stated that the light novel was originally called Last Memory ( ラストメモリー , Rasuto Memorī ) but he chose the current title because the word "Alphabetize" left a "stiff personality in the sense and direction" upon his reading of the manuscript.^[4] Kamachi revealed that Index's name was derived on the "Kinsho Mokuroku" ( 禁書目録 ) kanji he found from looking on the encyclopedia since he wanted a name that would "stand out for the character the story was centered effectually".^[5] He avoided using difficult kanji for Toma Kamijo'south name to aid readers able to read it but he kept the meaning behind the character'due south epithet ("The One who Purifies God and Slays Demons") a secret for now.^[five]

Every bit such, he decided to utilize this as the premise for the series.^[6] In setting up the globe of scientific discipline, Kamachi "needed some kind of power to oppose" the magic side. This helped him to create the idea of Toma Kamijo's known ability, the Imagine Breaker, and prepare the stage for the world-building of University City "where scientific discipline, espers, and magic would gather".^[five]

Upon the release of the starting time volume of the calorie-free novel, Miki stated that "(to be edgeless) information technology sold like crazy. Shortly after the official release date, nosotros had to do a reprint one-half the size of the original printing. It was on a Monday. I still call back it now. It was quite an achievement for an unknown newcomer".^[vii] Subsequently the success of the kickoff volume, the second book was completed in 17 days.^{[8] [9]} Subsequent volumes were as well completed quickly, with the story for the ninth volume completed before the release of the 5th book.^[8]
