Shadow Wings is an urban fantasy series where the titular character is tied to a near-lookalike double in the "real" world who only wants to be a police woman. This woman is Lina Jolen, an albino who takes care of her kid sister Hannah. People around them (a friend, a teacher, her boyfriend's cousin, Lina's partner) each tell a story of magic in their world, which impacts their personal lives. Meanwhile, Hannah's two best friends both confess their love to her and Hannah [[MarryThemAll hooks up with both of them]]... but then Lina begins seeing the life of Shadow Wings and becoming able to take control of her for limited amounts of time... and finds out that one of them will cause the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

* BroughtDownToNormal: Miyumi and Hikari, who were once Goddesses.
* CannotSelfTerminate: Shadow somewhat, who wants to kill herself in order to bring down the BarrierMaiden system, but can't until Lina's dead. [[spoiler: too bad it will bring all the worlds that rely on it into oblivion and kill countless masses]].
%%* ComesGreatInsanity
* {{Deconstruction}}: Turtle Woman is one huge, vicious parody of mahou shojo. It starts off as AffectionateParody... until the real enemy attempts TakingYouWithMe on ''[[spoiler: her own sister.]]'' Complete. Monster.
%%* DepravedBisexual: Sharon.
%%* DisappearedDad: Phoebe Dalit.
