History Manga / MagicalSempai

* SexyJester: Sempai ends up wearing an outfit like this as part of Saki-chan's suggestion that she become a Pierrot.

* {{Qipao}}: {{Subverted|Trope}}. When Sempai says that she's going to be doing Chinese magic, Assistant assumes that she's going to be wearing a Qipao, similarly to how she wore a kimono when she did Japanese magic. She actually ends up wearing a scary mask thanks to the specifics of the trick.

* IndirectKiss: A subversion occurs in Chapter 27, which has Sempai fail to blow up a balloon and hand it over to Assistant to finish the job. This is his first thought, until he actually gets the balloon, after which he just finds it gross and doesn't blow it up.

* {{Ecchi}}: PantyShots are common, as is ClothingDamage, and there are some sexual innuendos and other lewd content.

* IndirectKiss: A subversion occurs in Chapter 27, which has Sempai fail to blow up a balloon and hand it over to Assistant to finish the job. This is his first thought, until he actually gets the balloon, after which [[RealityEnsues he just finds it gross and doesn't blow it up]].

** In Chapter 50, Sempai is seen with a shady-looking man. Saki-chan and Masashi (Assistant just tags along despite not believing them) assume the worst, the worst being that he poses as a married man looking for an affair while he really seeks to seduce high school girls to film and produce pornography with them in a minivan. Assistant initially declares this concept to be non-existent until [[NotSoAboveItAll he clearly starts to worry that this might actually be the case]]. [[spoiler:It turns out that the man is actually her older sister's husband. They were out to buy a present for her.]]

* IncestSubtext: Saki-chan has an obsession with her brother Masasahi-kun:

* JapaneseSchoolClub: In addition to the Magic Club, the Chemistry Club is also part of the plot, as the Magic Club doesn't become an actual club until after Saki-chan and Masashi-kun are introduced. This is mostly an excuse for Assistant to stick around when the deadline comes and the Magic Club is still not official, as while he's a member of the Chemistry Club, he doesn't have to actually go there. However, Madara-san, the president of the Chemistry Club, becomes a recurring cast member starting with Chapter 53.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Sempai, Assistant, and Sister's real names have yet to be mentioned.

* PlayboyBunny: Sempai wears one in Chapter 10. It's incredibly tight, mainly because it was meant for her flat chested big sister.

* RealityEnsues: A large part of why Masashi-kun is so rude towards his loving older sister is because he finds her [[IncestSubtext obssession]] with him to be extremely creepy. Furthermore, despite being completely willing to help Assistant with schemes that involve getting Sempai or Madara-san to wear skimpy clothing, seeing his sister in similar outfits (or naked) makes him extremely uncomfortable.

* StreetPerformer: Saki-chan and Masashi-kun both practice street performance. Saki-chan is good at it. Masashi-kun is not very good, but Saki-chan pretends he is.

* ImpossiblyAwesomeMagicTrick: {{Averted|Trope}}; there is not a single magic trick that is not explained somehow. Since Sempai flubs each trick anyways, there is no reason ''not'' to explain it, but this is also extended to street performance, which Saki-chan is not as bad at:

* IncestSubtext: Saki-chan has an obsession with her brother Masasahi-kun.
* IndirectKiss: A subversion occurs in Chapter 27, which has Sempai fail to blow up a balloon and hands it over to Assistant to finish the job. This is his first thought, until he actually gets the balloon, after which [[RealityEnsues he just finds it gross and doesn't blow it up]].

* SempaiKohai: The dynamic between the two main characters. The club president of the Magic Club is called Sempai exclusively, while the kohai is only known her assistant.

* StatusQuoIsGod: No method in order to cure Sempai's stage fright works, not even hypnosis. In fact, this is the first thing they tried.

* YankTheDogsChain: In Chapter 54, Sempai puts on a successful show for a group of children. She still does poorly, but the children don't judge. For her final trick, Sempai makes a piece of candy disappear by using her tiny wand as a distraction. As she's celebrating her first success, [[ButtMonkey the children rummage through all her clothes she's wearing in order to find the candy]].

* ChestBurster: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]]. While Sempai is attempting to get her pigeon Bahamut to cooperate with a handful of bird seed, it dives into her clothing through her breasts and starts tickling her before exiting through her skirt. Sempai attempts to pass it off as the [[BlatantLies "Giving Birth to a Pigeon" trick]].

* IncestSubtext: Saki-chan has an obsession with her brother Ma-kun.

* RealityEnsues: A large part of why Ma-kun is so rude towards his loving older sister is because he finds her [[IncestSubtext obssession]] with him to be extremely creepy. As well, despite being completely willing to help Assistant with schemes that involve getting Senpai or Madara to wear skimpy clothing, seeing his sister in similar outfits (or naked) makes him extremely uncomfortable.

* StreetPerformer: Saki-chan and Ma-kun both practice street performance. Saki-chan is good at it. Ma-kun is not very good, but Saki-chan pretends he is.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Sempai tries to overcome her embarrassment by wearing an even more embarrassing PlayboyBunny outfit while performing the Cup and Ball trick to Assistant. It appears to work and she performs the tricks successfully, though it's probably because [[MaleGaze Assistant is failing to look at her in the face]], and sadly [[WardrobeMalfunction the outfit slips off of her]] after she cheers triumphantly to the trick's conclusion.

* MoodWhiplash: Chapter 41 sees Sempai trying to practice quiet magic as Assistant takes a nap. After she's done, she tenderly decides to let him sleep a bit longer...and then a few minutes later she tries to build a house of cards over his head.

Saki-chan and Ma-kun (Assistant just tags along despite not believing them) assume the worst...the worst being that he poses as a married man looking for an affair while he really seeks to seduce high school girls to film pornography with them and produce in a minivan, which is a concept that Assistant first declares non-existent until [[NotSoAboveItAll he clearly starts to worry that might actually be the case]].

The story begins when the protagonist is forced to join a [[JapaneseSchoolClub club]] as part of school regulations. He ends up joining the Magic Club, where his [[SempaiKohai sempai]] is precisely what a club president shouldn't be; immature and with PerformanceAnxiety so intense that whenever anyone is watching her, she flubs the tricks she's doing every time. Later on, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Saki-chan]], a street performer who has a [[IncestSubtext less than sibling-like]] relationship with her brother, joins. HilarityEnsues.

* DisappearingBox: Notable in that in Chapter 12, Assistant tries to get Sempai to hide because visitors are coming, and he quickly realizes that there's nowhere for her to go; all of the props that she could hide in could potentially have a trap door that would let her escape. The DisappearingBox trick proper is introduced as early as Chapter 2.

* EdutainmentShow: The manga contains some information on how some basic magic tricks are performed. Later on, this is expanded to [[StreetPerformer street performance]].

* WorldOfBuxom: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. There are only four female recurring cast members as of the end of Volume 4, and two of them are flat. However, both of the female members of the Magic Club have large breasts. As a result, the notes for Chapter 44 joke that it should be called the "Big-Boob Club".

* PlayboyBunny: Sempai wears an outfit like this in one chapter. It's incredibly tight, mainly because it was meant for her flat chested big sister.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The characters' real names have yet to be mentioned.
