In-Universe series, that become their own series are always an interesting thing. The same goes for series that try to take a different spin on the Magical Girl formula. And I’ll be honest, I only learned, that this was an in-universe series for Gate (which I haven’t read nor watched), after I finished it. Still, it doesn’t really have any connections to the main series, so I’ll just look at it as its own beast…
As for the story, it’s cute if a bit standard. It follows retired Magical Girls, who became NEETs and use the last bit of their magic to run a cleaning company,
...
cleaning after the messes made by the new magical girls. It’s cute and has a bit of a chapter of the week formula to it, with only the last 2-3 chapters coming close to a story. Though while cute, it’s pretty standard, with nothing really standing out. Still a handful of the gags were making me smile and there wasn’t a moment, it felt awful, so I enjoyed the story.
The art is pretty alright, but again, nothing special. Still, all the characters do look pretty cute, they have some small comedic reactions to certain things happening and you can tell what’s going on. Plus, the backgrounds do look pretty nice and they really show the destruction the magical girls always cause with their battles against the monsters and what kind of stuff the girls have to deal with.It’s pretty good. And outside of that, the art still manages to be cute enough, that it kept me reading.
The characters were more of a mixed bag. They all had distinct personalities and went through some small arcs...but because of how short the series is, a lot of it feels more flat and not really developed. Which is a shame, since I really liked the interactions these characters had with each other and their personalities seemed like they could have some potential. But still, most of the characters just end up being really...eh.
I think this is a harmless and fun, if nothing special read. And if you think, some short comedic chapters about a bunch of retired magical girls cleaning things up sounds like something you would enjoy and you’re looking for something short and a little fun, then I can recommend it.
