It was serialized in October 2002 in Square Enix's magazine Monthly Gangan Wing and later licensed in North America by Digital Manga.
The protagonist, Haruhiko Kanou, is a regular high school student with the gift of fixing and building mechanical and electrical appliances.
His motivation comes from his secret love towards his next-door-neighbor and childhood friend, Yuka Fujikawa, who is a few years older and now teaches at Haruhiko's high school.
A powerful enchanter named Fulcanelli and his beloved contract demon Eukanaria roam the secretive world of magic and sorcery.
A 17-year-old student, Haruhiko is the story's main protagonist; he is skilled with mechanical things and shows potential to become a great enchanter.
Haruhiko is compatible with Fulcanelli's soul, and therefore is constantly pressured into giving up his body to Eukanaria, his main love interest.
A running gag is that he is constantly called "impotent" or "spineless" for his lack of progress with her and when his collection of adult magazines is found.
She looks like Eukanaria and her MD player holds a demon warding stone placed by Fulcanelli, hinting at some kind of connection between them.
Paracelsus is an enchanter, physician, and pervert who can take the form of a young man, but whose true body is a skeleton.
She is ignorant towards the human realm due to little interaction with it, and as such does not understand why Haruhiko will not sleep with Eukanaria, despite sharing the same bed.
In 2006, before the release date, author Izumi Kawachi was invited to Anime Expo in the US,[1] where fans had obtained copies of the Japanese version to read and for her to sign.
Kawachi expressed surprise that, in contrary to Enchanter's popularity among males in Japan, the North American fan community had more females.
Additionally, she noted that Haruhiko was the most popular character in Japan, whereas Paracelsus (the "skeleton man") was in North America.
[2] According to Kawachi, she often has young boys belittled as "useless" and "no good" due to her desire to be treated in such a way by a domineering, cute, older woman.
The first CD, named Kikou Majutsushi - Enchanter Part.1, was released on November 26, 2004, covering the first eleven chapters of the manga.
[9] The second CD, named Kikou Majutsushi - Enchanter Part.2, was released on January 28, 2005, covering chapters twelve to seventeen of the manga.
[11] A reviewer for Pop Culture Shock commended the characterization for Eukanaria, saying, "[she] could have been depicted as a mere sexpot, [but] is quite possibly the most complicated character in the series.
"[12] Mania.com's Matthew Alexander commended the manga's artwork saying, "the characters proportions are well drawn and facial expressions are quite varied and descriptive.
However, she commended Digital Manga Publishing's physical presentation of the book: "printed in the oversize format, and it comes with a glossy dust sleeve, just like the Japanese editions do".
