While the young mage Alto excels at most other magics, he is on the verge of failing his first year at Royal Ortigia Magic Academy because he cannot summon a familiar. Giving his exam one last shot, he stumbles upon a grimoire that finally lets him summon a familiar. However, this bodacious, beautiful woman isn’t a spirit, she is a demon. She agrees to help him if she can recharge her power through passionate kisses.
This unambitious series could have done the bear minimum for what it knows it wants to be, but I appreciate that they put as much effort into a magic in this series as they did in the booba. If you are looking for more anime recommendations like Vermeil in Gold, head on down below.
Anime Like Vermeil in Gold
For Fans of Summoned Familiars
The Familiar of Zero
Louise is a self-absorbed mage at the prestigious Tristain Academy. Unfortunately, she can’t cast magic right and her classmates call her Louise the Zero. One day during a summoning ritual, Louise messes it up again and summons a boy named Saito. At first she treats him as a slave until she discovers a powerful brand on him, the sign of a legendary familiar known as Gandalfr.
While the roles are reversed, The Familiar of Zero also focuses on a mage that is having problems summoning only to end up summoning someone that is super powerful. However, Alto is actually fairly good at magic while Louise is less so.
Blade Dance of the Elementalers
As a prestigious school for shrine princesses, Areishia Spirit Academy trains its students to be elementalists. In order to help with this, they form slave contracts with spirits to bolster their power. Up until now, only females have had this power, until average guy Kamito Kazehaya becomes the first man in 1,000 years to form a contract with a spirit.
Both series fully surround magic schools where students summon spirits and make pacts with them. However, Blade Dance of the Elementalers is one of those “only women could do it until the male main character came along and did it” sort of affairs. As such, there are much stronger harem vibes, but the women are more moe and less stacked in the rack department.
So I Can’t Play H
Ryousuke Kaga is more than just your standard teenage pervert. He is so enchanted by erotic reverie that he is ostracized by his peers. However, one day he has a run in with Lisara Restall, a soul reaper who is trying to locate a magically potent person known as The One in the human realm. In order to fuel this magically draining search, she makes a deal with Ryousuke to use his sexual desires as her energy source.
While this series lacks the magic school setting, it does primarily focus on the growing relationship between a boy and a demon who uses his “mana” / sexual energy as energy for her own magics. While Vermeil in Gold can be suggestive, So I Can’t Play H takes it much further.
For Fans of Magic School Problem Children
Dragonar Academy
Ash Blake is a new student at the Ansarivan Dragonar Academy. While he looks forward to taming and riding dragons as well as pursuing the destiny as a top-dragon rider that the star on his hand marks him for, his dragon has never appeared. However, one day, his dragon awakens, but is different from any dragon ever seen in that his dragon is actually a beautiful girl.
Both series essentially tell the same story in a different wrapper. One is about a mage that can’t summon, the other is about a dragon rider with no dragon. Both get the thing they were trying to get and it is way better than anyone else’s. They are also both ecchi shows.
The Magician’s Academy
Takuto Hasegawa is a student at a magic academy that cannot be found on any map. During one summoning exam, he accidentally summons a girl named Tanarotte. While there is some debate as to whether she is a god or a demon, she possesses enormous amounts of power. However, she is particularly attached to Takuto and professes her undying loyalty to him.
Both series are about mages who are working on a summoning exam only to summon a girl instead of a spirit. Both of these girls possess enormous amounts of power, but are immediately pacified by the affection they have for the person that summoned them. The Magician’s Academy is more comedy, but is also still an ecchi show. It is just a moe-type of ecchi.
Chivalry of a Failed Knight
A certain selection of people, known as Blazers, are able to manifest their souls as weapons. To harness these powers, a number of schools have been established to teach these people how to use them. Ikki Kurogane is an aspiring Mage-Knight, but unfortunately is also one of the lowest ranked Blazers around. However, there may be more to his powers than meets the eye.
Both series follow students that both excel and also at the same time don’t excel at their magic-based school. Problems and women both seem to come at them in equal amounts, but they manage to turn their weaknesses into massive strengths.
For Fans of Ara Ara-Type Ecchi
Heaven’s Lost Property
Since he was a child, Tomoki has always woken up in tears from a dream of an angel. Worrying for her friend, Mitsuki seeks out the obsessive sky maniac Eishirou Sugata who deems that this dream is a connection to the New World, a floating anomaly that baffles scientists. With both Tomoki and Mitsuki recruited into the New World Discovery Club, their lives are changed forever when a strange girl falls from the sky and begins to call Tomoki her master.
Heaven’s Lost Property is distinctly more sci-fi than fantasy, but it, like Vermeil in Gold, surrounds a young boy who suddenly gets a battle maiden bound to him. However, while she doesn’t quite have the personality of Vermeil, she certainly has a similar chest and fondness of physical affection.
The Qwaser of Stigmata
After two sisters find a wounded man, they bring him back home. That very same night, a serial killer that has been prowling the area breaks into their home. They end up being saved by this man who reveals himself as a Qwaser, a person capable of controlling chemical elements by partaking in Soma, obtained through the breasts of women.
Both shows surround magical fights in which afterwards that spent energy needs to be recharged by doing something sexual. In Vermeil, that activity is making out. In Qwaser of Stigmata, it is from breastfeeding. So they are both pretty lewd action shows.
Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory
After their home burns down and he is abandoned by his father, Koushi Nagumo wanders homeless until he collapses on the street. He is found by a woman named Mineru and taken to a female dormitory. Koushi discovers that Mineru is the temporary manager there, and she invites him to be the permanent dorm mother to the problematic female residents.
In all honesty, the only thing Vermeil in Gold and Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory has in common is older women characters that are all really into one much younger guy. It is just that there are way more Vermeil-types in Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory.
