Aoi Rio is a highschool student who secretly likes PreEri their version of pretty precure I guess. One evening he saves a magical girl and from that point on he teaches her how to be a proper magical girl using all his anime knowledge and fanboyism in the process. I am 99 sure this is a selfinsert manga for Magical Girl fans who have been marginalized by the industry and forced to watch new precure shows and sailor moon sequels while getting 1 dark magical girl show or deconstruction of the magical girl genre anime as sole content for the last 5 years. But thats something I do not want to get into just keep in mind that this manga is especially attractive to magical girl fans because they can use Aoi as a selfinsert. At the same time Aoi stays the main focuse of the manga in terms of what characters we explore the most and see the most which is kinda surprising given that other selfinsert works like a lot of isekais with blank sheet main characters and romcoms like Uzaki dressup darling or Nagatoro focus more on the girls because thats what we wanna see which left us with Sumire the magical girl as more of a symbol character for Aoi to project his ideals of a magical girl onto. What I mean by that is that Sumire will mostly develop in terms of what Aoi wants because 1 Their relationship is mostly based around her being a magical girl and learning how to be a better magical girl and 2 By giving up the typical way of Magical Girl mangas like Shugo Chara or Sailor Moon and giving them a character who is emotionally troubled and then gets saved by Sumire we dont see a lot of character development on her side except Aoi saying Wow youre just like Eririn every time Sumire gets a bit better at fighting AND we dont get any emotional or moral lesson out of the fights. In the end this was more than a small comedy manga with a magical girl and a bit of feelgood elements to make sure that it really is a magical girl manga. Its pretty short so I think everyone who hasnt watched or read a lot of magical girl works and would like to know what its all about should check it out. Longtime magical girl fans will probably like Aoi because hes a typical magical girl fan while not being just an exaggerated caricature of an otaku. Thats all I got to say and Im not ashamed cause this manga only has 11 chapters + a short chapter that is just the christmas thing for the sake of cuteness we did not get Sumire in a christmas dress.... I hope youll enjoy this and thanks for reading.
