However I had a lot of fun reading the "Mage Errant" books!
It's a progression Fantasy (comparable genre with shounen anime) that follows a group of students at a magic school as they grow into their powers as they attempt to become strong magic wielders.
I find the book to not only not be bigoted, but be delightfully inclusive in so many aspects, it also includes characters dealing with trauma in a positive way.
I blazed through this 7 book series like popcorn.
Other than that, there are many good suggestions here!
