What... What if? If you were told that magic would make any of your wishes come true... what would you do?
Enter the tale of Marise Ricci-Gonzalez, a clumsy but kindhearted middle school girl who works at a local cat café that takes part in selling sweets and coffee to support her family’s struggling financial state. She is a fan of Mahou Shoujo media, finding herself pining to draw magical girl mascots as compliments to her customers and watching shows of the genre during her homework studies. She longs for the world to be a better place, but finds herself struggling to believe that when the outside world doesn’t reflect it.
But during a rainy day, Marise encounters a strange black cat in the alleyway while trying to make it to her job, and gives her the unexpected opportunity to be granted a wish. Thinking of what she desires most, she wishes to make her life resemble a Mahou Shoujo, and is granted the role of a magical girl. Marise finds herself attempting to balance her new identity with her everyday duties. However, she learns thanks to her wish, not everything is what it seems to be now and her problems might more monstrous then they were before...
