I'm excited at how this trip to the broom shop is elaborating on Kana's different approach to things.

I got a good laugh over the panel flashback where Prez was talking to a toddler Ginji who's still in her pajamas.

Wow, this chapter really cemented what Kana's talents as a magical girl are--she's got a strong grasp of the technical aspects of the equipment and its functions which makes her a good and capable professional. It really makes her a nice fit for the company too, contrasting with Koshigaya's intuitive skill and working well with the programmer's ability to write up poo poo on the fly. They're a tight outfit!

I'm glad I decided to check out this series on a whim, binged it all.

I wonder if Kana will ever get to use all 108 commands by the time the series ends?

Well we just need to hope that it catches on with the magazine audience. If you happen to get the little weekly comment cards please fill them out.

I love Kana so much. There's something so very relatable and heart warming to me about her constantly second guessing her own strengths while people around her are appreciating her precisely because of those strengths.

:shrug: "My strength isn't special, all I can do is just read a book. Everyone can read. Meanwhile everyone around me is a genius in something."
"Nah, it's about that you want to read the book and how you use that knowledge and combine it with the external factors that makes you special."

Lol at Shigemoto. "I get that a lot."
Gee, I wonder why.

Also stupid Midorikawa getting in the way of the biggest mystery. I can't hate Midorikawa.

glad I gave this series a shot, not normally one for magical girls but this is such a drat good series that it goes beyond my indifference towards the genre.

I like that they're going with the "the problem solvers are also the cause of said problems in the first place" route with the Kaii.

Welcome!



It’s a fine series and a new chapter dropped.

I really want to know what the deal is with Shigenoto.
I love this cast so much.

I was interested in this series since it came out but I forgot to read it until now. I then read everything that was out in the span of two days. This is really good. As a programmer, some of the whole Ginji/Kana stuff really got to me too.

One of the things I like is that they're not using traditional Magical Girl outfits, they've got Office Lady style mixed in to show that they're more mature and businesslike.

And then boss just dressing like a Cardcaptor.

I really hope we visit other magical girl offices later on. I want to see more about how they operate.

I'm also liking this slow burn of the President's mystery outfit. Though it's probably someone he loves died because they couldn't adapt to a mutation they themselves caused.

That development is hilarious when you have the narration comment on it only to answer it in the immediate next panel, that isn't even in another page.

Also this was the most capitalism chapter to date which is impressive when you consider what the manga's about. Being a magical girl company comes with a lot of bureaucracy and a lot of conservatism it seems.

It seems to be that not everyone on the council is aware of the realities of Kai extermination. They have their heads in the sand talking about old days when Magical Girls were in fact actual girls (Can you believe it?) and ignore President's proposal that they adopt the Alice System immediately (it seems like the smart thing to do) while meanwhile the Kai are mutating out of control and are taking even more magic to subdue using the old methods.

I don't know, seems like a fair amount are aware, but because they approach it like a business and not a way to save lives they rate this possibility as a lower prio

Yeah there's a heavy hint of "We could cure cancer but there's no money in that" going around and I'm entirely willing to bet that was what caused the Familial Schism.

I agree and I also agree with Koshigaya, I want to see it again. I want this to be adapted into an anime only for the transformation sequences.

The talk about how things were back during the "nationalisation era" has me singing the internationale every chapter. It doesn't talk much, but still.

Just started this series a few days ago as I had a lot of travel to do and seemed to be well recommended here. My goons, this is some :discourse: manga and I am glad I picked it up. Currently 1/3 of the way thru current translations, so will join the thread once I'm caught up on spoilers.

Thanks again for the recommendation thread y'all.

Yes, I’m enjoying it quite a bit. Interesting opponents as well.
Though I though miss the earlier interactions a little. It’s getting crowded at Magilumiere.
