Manga author Akihiro Ononaka announced on Twitter that their Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete (Gushing over Magical Girls) manga is receiving a television anime adaptation.

Ononoka began drawing the comedy fantasy manga on the Manga Life STORIA Dash website in March 2019. The manga was also serialized in the Manga Life STORIA magazine before it suspended its publication in July of the same year. Takeshobo shipped the ninth volume on March 16.

J-Novel Club licensed the manga in English for digital release in March 2022. The fifth volume went on sale on February 20, and the sixth volume is set for a May 31 release.

Synopsis
Hiiragi Utena has always looked up to magical girls and fantasized about transforming into a cool heroine who fights evil. So, when a doll-like figure approaches her one evening, claiming that she has magical power lying dormant within, she trembles in excitement. But her colorful dream is quickly shattered in an ironic turn of events when she transforms into a villain!

Disinterested in associating with the forces of evil, she tries to quit when a group of magical girls appear and declare war. A battle ensues and Hiiragi soon discovers that she enjoys inflicting pain on others as her true nature starts to emerge.

Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete follows Hiiragi as she begins her new life as the leader of villains, fighting against magical girls and indulging in her newfound sadistic nature to her heart's content. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I have no idea how is this getting an adaptation. I mean, the manga is great and I love it. But, the studio giving this an adaptation must be very brave considering the lewd contents.
LOL what? Since when is adapting a silly ecchi anime something that takes courage?

Oh well, well~ |>◡<|  I'm surprised BDSM Yuri made it to an anime adaptation. Let's see. 
I'm not a fan of BDSM, but I'll definitely check this out (coz it's yuri, so yep).
Why should this surprise? This is quite a common ecchi.

This doesn't look good at all.

It's one of those series that sound absolutely terrible when you try to describe it, but if you actually read/watch it, is just incredibly fun and very enjoyable. Although probably not everyone's taste indeed. :D
"Lol, WTF" is a deliberately induced reaction for such works, read Japanese or even Western comments in their discussion in online stores.

Hear me out, less censorship.

If this is only going to have cute little lesbians Im in. No males are allowed then it's not for my taste =)

Haven't read the manga but when searching for it I get 10202 million pictures of lesbians who are touching each other Hehehehehehe 

I'm a big believer that lesbians should touch each other more often for my entertainment sake,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Thank you for sharing the news about Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete! It's always exciting to hear about new anime adaptations of manga series.

Duuuuuuuuuuude I'm actually so excited for this to get an adaptation.

In all truth though, I hope they're able to do the art (namely the facial expressions) and the comedy justice. I've been surprised how well Ononaka-san has kept it up throughout the whole of publishing.

Ayo, I have been reading this manga for a year now. I'm glad this one is getting an anime adaptation! I can't wait to see animated characters :ehe: I am excited for real

Well call me Ryan Gosling cause that's literally me(tm) right there. Is this what all those black-haired teenagers feel seeing Isekai protagonists?

Vain jokes aside, interesting premise, nice art, seems worth pursuing. I've had low hopes seeing this year's announcements so far, let's see what this can do to change that.

Still can't believe it's by Kumika no Mikaku mangaka.

I like the premise how she transforms into a villain this time. Hopefully it turns out good.

Will try to watch.

I'm happy that there are more mahou shoujo anime, but it's too bad that a new announcement happens to be for a series I have no interest with. I thought about giving it a try because of the interesting synopsis, but then I saw the associated tags: ecchi, nudity, fetish, explicit sex... sorry, no thanks. I guess mahou shoujo fans who also appreciate and miss the older types of stories like me will have to remain hungry and go back in time for our fill.

at least @Kyline @IpreferEcchi @tchitchouan should be happy

edit: no I didn't forget @EcchiGodMamster, it's just he posted before me lol
lol...

i was gonna say, cause from from what i've heard, this is soooooo my type of anime, as long as its not bloody lol

I can tell that this is going to be good by just looking at cover !!

Was interested in the manga for a while so I'm excited it gets an anime, but on the other hand I absolutely do not believe it will be NOT toned down & censored.

Not really a fan of sadistic protagonists.
