From manga to strategy RPG: Magician’s Academy

Enterbrain is releasing a new strategy RPG based on Ichiro Sakaki’s manga Magician’s Academy on June 7. Being a manga based SRPG makes Magician’s Academy stand out a little, but I’m not familiar with the manga to tell how different the Playstation 2 game is. Game Watch has screenshots of the game and some character art to see. What strategy RPG does the art remind you of?
