Admittedly, the main reasons I picked this up were the gorgeous cover and the fact Anton translated it, but I couldn’t put it down. 

It’s such a fun novella with gorgeous chapter illustrations. There were also some very cute sapphic interactions which was so satisfying because I immediately shipped the characters in question and didn’t see it going that way at all. I’m low-key obsessed with the magical girl of clairvoyance Ah Roa.

I wasn’t hugely into the magical girl genre growing up, though I’ve always loved manga and anime but you don’t need to be that familiar with the tropes to enjoy this story fully. I loved how dark many of the themes and plot points were despite the very cute and magical nature of the book — it felt very real and gritty despite the overall light-heartedness.

It’s a wonderful play on the magical girl genre that will keep you guessing and fully invested until the end. I highly recommend it for a quick and very enjoyable read!
