** The teachers and administration of Peace High also mostly don't appear, but they seem especially useless considering the godawful bullying going on every day that nobody seems interested in stopping. [[spoilers:The only teacher with a major role is Mr. Park, and the fact that he's a known sex offender who preys on his teenage students apparently didn't stop anyone from hiring him and letting him continue to teach young girls.]]
** PoliceAreUseless: Though police are said to be investigating the murders, nothing ever comes of this. You'd think that they would at least stake out the high school where people keep dying, but nope. Apparently they're content to let magical girls handle all public safety matters, even when said magical girls start turning up dead.

Life in Peace City is, well, peaceful. Sure, there's the occasional monster attack, but that's what the city's MagicalGirls are for. Practically celebrities, these girls have obtained popularity untold, both at work and in school.
Which is where the world's image of Magical Girls is harshly subverted, in that at school, they're AlphaBitches to the extreme.
A pair of sisters, Julie and Callie, discover this the hard way, by each becoming the MG's designated targets. While the stress on their lives is hard, the two of them manage to get by... until Julie is murdered, and Callie having immense reasons to suspect the Magical Girls. On that day, she declares war against the Magical Girls of Peace City. Her mission: discover the truth behind Julie's murder - and killing the Magical Girls along the way.
