The Marvelous Misadventures of Tsubasa-Hime is an original Persona Fanfic taking place in 2016. After Konohana Taira suffers from a traumatizing incident, her parents decide it's best to send her to Kyoto, to live with her aunt, Sakura. And then she meets a talking fox, and her life starts to become like a magical girl manga. Have I mentioned the part where Yomi is supposed to be coming and she has to stop it?
