As for 魔技科の剣士と召唤魔王, Log, can you at tell us who the god is that chose our MC as a summoner?

Gakuen has the same older sister background, sword background, female dominant school (though males exist), mad researchers, quasi super techs, etc. To me, it's about as close as a carbon copy to IS as you'll find without committing plagiarism.

Note for 魔技科の剣士と召唤魔王, thus far the supernatural entities that have formed contracts aren't gods.

Spoiler for spoiler:

If anything the one god we've seen thus far has been an antagonist and it's been implied that the other gods to be seen will all be antagonists. The ones the reader have seen have ALL been the 72 demons (Phanax, Baal, Asmodeus) of Solomon. At the beginning of the story, we find out that the 72 Demons are for some unknown reason supporting Japan. The higher ups greatly appreciate it because it enhances Japan's international influence, but at the same time they do not know why the 72 demons chose this country or for what purpose they're helping Japan.
