Okay, so the simple answer is numerical order. Volume 1, then 2, and so on. But if you're like me and you want everything in the 'best' narrative order, it gets fuzzy. The main manga has occasional flashbacks or info-dumps that reference light novel events, which aren't even fully translated. So sometimes you're reading volume 12 and a character mentions something from 'Lieselotte's Report' and you just have to shrug.
For a first read-through, absolutely ignore the side books. They break the pacing. On a re-read, maybe slot in '7-Nin no Mashotsukai' after volume 8 or so, when you know all the heroines. But honestly, the charm of the series is the harem chaos and the magic-system reveals, which the main volumes handle fine on their own. Don't stress the perfect order; the series itself isn't that linear.
I remember picking this up and being utterly confused by online lists mentioning 'Magi Craft' and 'Seven Days' as if they were required reading. They're not. The core experience is the main manga series, volumes 1 onward. The pacing is already kind of stop-and-start with all the ecchi comedy breaks, so adding the non-canon anthology stories in the middle just murders any narrative momentum.
If you're a completionist, finish the main story arcs first, then circle back for the side volumes. They're like DVD extras—amusing, but not part of the movie. The only slight exception might be the 'Lieselotte's' light novel stories, which give depth to her and Arata's past, but even that is supplementary. The manga explains enough through dialogue and flashbacks to get by.
Man, I see this question pop up a lot. The reading order is honestly straightforward in terms of volumes; you just go 1, 2, 3, etc. The catch, and where people get tripped up, is with the side-story volumes. They're numbered like 'Trinity Seven: 7-Nin no Mashotsukai' and stuff, and they're anthologies. You can read them whenever you want after you're a few volumes in, but they're not essential to the main plot.
My advice? Stick strictly to the main series volumes first. The 'Magi Craft' and 'Nana Please' stuff is fun fan-service fluff, but it'll just confuse you if you try to slot it in chronologically. The main narrative flow is all that really matters for understanding Arata's journey and the mysteries around the Demon Lords.
The fan-translation scene years ago also made this messy, with some groups skipping around. But officially, it's a straight shot. Just read the volumes in numerical order. Don't overcomplicate it.
Stick to the numerical order for the main volumes. Any other approach overcomplicates a series that's really about magical girls and fan service more than a tightly wound plot. The side volumes are just bonus content for after you're invested in the characters. Reading them mid-way doesn't add crucial info, it just interrupts.
Just read the volumes in number order. 1 through whatever the latest is. The side stories and fanbook stuff are optional extras you can check out later if you really love the characters. Trying to integrate them into a first-time read is more hassle than it's worth. The main plot makes sense on its own.

In the hallowed halls of academia, power is never shared it’s taken.
Dr. Justin Ellis, known as the CC Terror, rules his lecture halls with a razor-sharp tongue and a gaze that strips away pretense. At forty-three, he is brilliant, ruthless, and untouchable, his presence carved from cold authority and concealed desire. To his students, he is a nightmare in a tailored suit, but beneath the discipline lies a darkness no one dares to provoke. No one except Brenda Stuart.
Brenda is everything Justin should ignore young, fiery, too bold for her own good. Her beauty unsettles him; her defiance ignites a hunger he has buried beneath years of restraint. She should be just another student, yet every sharp exchange between them drips with something forbidden, something neither of them can deny.
When Brenda confronts him after class, demanding answers for his relentless attention, their clash sparks a dangerous intimacy. What begins as a battle of wills transforms into a seduction dark, punishing, addictive.

In a world where reputations can be destroyed with a whisper, they enter a secret arrangement of lust, discipline, and obsession. But as desire deepens into something darker, Brenda must decide if she’s willing to give herself entirely to the man who both terrifies and consumes her...
Because Dr. Ellis doesn’t just want her mind, he wants her body, her virginity. And Brenda is down for anything.
The main crew around Arata is what makes the series tick for me. You've got Lilith, the library head and fire magic user who's both a leader and gets surprisingly flustered. Then there's Arin, the childhood friend with light magic who's sweet but has that hidden, intense side. Levi, the goth girl who uses dark magic and curses, adds a great contrast with her deadpan humor.
But it's not just them. You also have Mira, the absolute powerhouse with her gravity magic who loves a good fight, Yui with her illusion magic and her... unique way of showing affection, and Akio, the sword-wielder who's all about honor. Honestly, half the fun is watching their wildly different personalities bounce off Arata, who's just trying to enjoy his harem situation while saving the world. The dynamic shifts a lot depending on which girl is taking center stage in an arc.
