The reason magical girls exist is because they needed their power the most. In other words, before a magical girl awakens her powers, she’s the weakest person in the world.

I loved this, the way the entire magical girl thing was incorporated into a reality we live in, the exploration of why does magic pick almost only girls, a question the protagonist herself had, and how being magical doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be “good”. Such a short book but it’s such a gem.

Ps. I really lover the illustrations at the beginning of each chapter, I think they were such a good edition.
