| 1 | {{Magical Girl}}s are a staple for AnimeAndManga series. |

| 5 | [[folder:Examples of Magical Girl works:]] |
| 6 | * ''Creator/StudioPierrot''. They were best known for their Magical Girl series, such as ''Anime/CreamyMamiTheMagicAngel'', ''Anime/PersiaTheMagicFairy'', ''Anime/MagicalEmiTheMagicStar'', ''Anime/MagicalIdolPastelYumi'', and ''Anime/FancyLala'' in the 1980s. Also, the Studio Pierrot pilot film, ''Yumesekai No Hodgepodge''. |
| 7 | * ''Manga/AcroTrip'' |
| 8 | * . ''Manga/AkazukinChacha'' started out as a CuteWitch, but was turned into a MagicalGirlWarrior for her anime adaptation. |
| 9 | * ''Manga/Alice19th'' features Alice and her friends as MagicalGirlWarrior |
| 10 | * ''Anime/AnimalDetectivesKiruminzoo''. It is basically ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' with huge animal costume motifs and serious comedy. |
| 11 | * ''Anime/{{Artiswitch}}'' |
| 12 | * ''Manga/AskDrRin''. The plot at first follows the everyday life of Meirin Kanzaki, a 13-year-old girl with the power to predict the future using feng shui magic. In order to test her powers, she creates a Web site under the pseudonym of Dr. Rin. |
| 13 | * ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter'' is a Gothic take on the genre, with the heroines dressing all in black and toting huge guns/swords/scythes. |
| 14 | * ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', easily the ''second'' most famous behind [[Franchise/SailorMoon Miss Tsukino]] worldwide. |
| 15 | * ''Anime/CorrectorYui'' takes an interesting alternative magical source than the other typical series- Yui, Haruna, and Ai's internet avatars (their consciences inside Com Net) are the ones that have "magic" as science and technology is concerned. |
| 16 | * ''Anime/CosPrayers'' is an 8-episode Magical Girl show with {{Fanservice}}. |
| 17 | * ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' is the UrExample for the MagicalGirlWarrior sub-genre. While not originally planned as a magical girl series, it pioneered tropes such as the ability to transform and the InTheNameOfTheMoon speech that were adapted by later shows, such as ''Sailor Moon''. |
| 18 | ** The late-90s ''Cutey Honey Flash'' anime brings things full circle by being a full on magical girl warrior show. It even showed at the same time slot as ''Sailor Moon'' after the latter ended. |
| 19 | * ''Anime/CyberTeamInAkihabara'' |
| 20 | * ''Anime/D4Princess'' |
| 21 | * ''Anime/DayBreakIllusion'', another one for fans of DarkerAndEdgier. |
| 22 | * ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'' combines this with HumongousMecha and young lesbians. |
| 23 | * ''Anime/DevilHunterYohko'' has Yohko Mano, the most badass one you'll ever see, that banish demons from the Earth as a MagicalGirlWarrior in her spare time. Unlike her contemporaries, Yohko isn't afraid to get physical. She'll put the sword DOWN if she has to. |
| 24 | * ''Manga/DNAngel''. Sometimes called a "magical boy" series, it generally has a lighthearted, {{romantic comedy}}/{{fantasy}} feel, although occasionally there's hints of darker mysteries and backstories lurking in the shadows. |
| 25 | * In ''Dokidoki! Tama-tan'', Tama-tan is given a magical moon jewel and gains the ability to turn into a Lunar Lady. |
| 26 | * ''Anime/DreamHunterRem'', an OVA from 1985 about a green-haired supernatural detective who enters other people's dreams and fights the demons who cause nightmares. A very early example of the MagicalGirlWarrior sub-genre. |
| 27 | * ''Anime/EarthMaidenArjuna'' is a magical girl show with a GreenAesop. |
| 28 | * Misa of ''Eko Eko Azarak'' is a darker example - she uses BlackMagic in order to enact brutal justice on her victims. |
| 29 | * ''Anime/EsperMami'' is about Mami Sakura, an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who one day manifests supernatural powers, including teleportation, telepathy, and telekinesis, which she uses to solve mysteries and help people in trouble. |
| 30 | * ''Manga/EternalAlice'' |
| 31 | * ''Anime/FairyMusketeers'' |
| 32 | * ''Manga/FairyNavigatorRuna'' |
| 33 | * ''Anime/FloralMagicianMaryBell'' is about Mary Bell, a floral sprite who appears to those in need. |
| 34 | * ''Anime/FlipFlappers'' |
| 35 | * ''Manga/FlyingWitch'' |
| 36 | * ''Manga/FullMoon'' is about 12-year old Mitsuki Koyama who, with the help of two Shinigami out to collect her soul, is able to transform into a 16-year old IdolSinger called Full Moon to fulfill her dreams. |
| 37 | * ''VideoGame/GalaxyFrauleinYuna'' (by way of Magic From Technology?) |
| 38 | * ''Anime/GetsumenToHeikiMina'' combines this with {{Bunny Girl}}s, aliens, a vegetable theme, and a possible AffectionateParody. |
| 39 | * ''Anime/GOnRiders'' |
| 40 | * ''Anime/HanaNoKoLunlun'' uses flower power to change her outfit. |
| 41 | * ''Anime/HappySeven'' |
| 42 | * ''Anime/HealerGirl'': It stands somewhere between MagicIdolSinger and MagicalGirlWarrior. The girls drop into song at the drop of a hat, given that its a Broadway-style Musical, so at least adjacent to MagicIdolSinger, but the ability to heal is borrowed from MagicalGirlWarrior shows like ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}''. |
| 43 | * ''Manga/HimechansRibbon''. Nonohara Himeko is a magical tomboy of the cute witch type who can transform into anybody in the human world for one hour. This is due to her getting a magic ribbon from her alternate universe counterpart Erica, who just happens to be a princess in The Magical Kingdom. |
| 44 | * ''Manga/HimitsuNoAkkoChan'' features a girl with a magic mirror. She is a possible TropeMaker for the transforming type; she predates ''Cutey Honey'' by about half a decade (by comparison, Manga/SallyTheWitch was a "magical girl", but she just had magical powers). |
| 45 | * ''Anime/HyperSpeedGrandoll'' with a more sci-fi vibe than usual. |
| 46 | * ''Manga/{{ION}}'' |
| 47 | * ''Literature/IsThisAZombie'' is part Magical Girl, [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot part about ten other things]] (UnwantedHarem being one of them). |
| 48 | * ''Anime/JewelBEMHunterLime''. It's a mixture of CuteWitch and MagicWarrior tropes. |
| 49 | * ''Toys/{{Jewelpet}}'' is about anthropomorphic small animals named after jewels, birthstones and other minerals, who can use magic with the power of their eyes, made of said minerals. |
| 50 | * ''Anime/JubeiChan'' is about a girl who wears an eyepatch that gives her the power of the famous {{Samurai}} Yagyu Jubei. |
| 51 | * ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail'' is a more mundane example, since all of Saint Tail's "magic" is explicitly stage magic (not that you can tell, given how [[ImpossiblyAwesomeMagicTrick impossibly awesome]] her tricks are). She still fulfils other aspects of the trope, such as having a TransformationSequence and using her "magic" to help others. |
| 52 | * ''Anime/KaitouTenshiTwinAngel'' |
| 53 | * ''Anime/KillLaKill'' is a fanservice-heavy FightingSeries where the characters' powers come from [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman their clothes]] and places heavy emphasis on awesome. |
| 54 | * ''Manga/KoiCupid''. The story revolves around three young cupids, Ai, Ren, and Koi. |
| 55 | * In ''Kurumi-tic Miracle'', the heroine discovers a magical bracelet that gives her magical powers. |
| 56 | * ''Anime/LedaTheFantasticAdventureOfYohko'' is reminiscent of ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'', except with one Magical Girl, not three. |
| 57 | * ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' is Creator/{{CLAMP}}'s first crack at the genre, adding HumongousMecha for good measure (and also results being the first Magical girl series that entered the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsT after 20+ years of debut]]). Also borrows a lot from HeroicFantasy quest stories. |
| 58 | * ''Anime/MagicUsersClub'' |
| 59 | * ''Anime/MagicalAngelSweetMint'' |
| 60 | * ''VisualNovel/MagicalCanan'', which got its start as an {{eroge}} before becoming its own series. |
| 61 | * ''Anime/MagicalDestroyers'' |
| 62 | * ''Manga/MagicalGirlIncident'' is one of the rare GenderBender examples that not only plays the genre's conventions straight but has the protagonist's magical form closely match his civillain self's age. |
| 63 | * ''[[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' is somewhat unusual in that, rather than young girls, older teenagers and young men are the target audience. It's also much more character-driven, compared to most other series. |
| 64 | ** The manga eventually dropped "Magical Girl" from the title, since Nanoha is now 25 and either still a Captain of an Interdimensional Air Force or higher. She's still Magical, but is a woman, not a girl. |
| 65 | ** At the same time, a SpinOff manga starring Vivio was released that kept the "Magical Girl" part of the title. Yup, Nanoha's daughter has now officially inherited her mother's role as Magical Girl, complete with OlderAlterEgo. |
| 66 | ** Ironically, no one is ever referred to as a magical girl in the series itself. Understandable, as almost every mage is either from Mid-Childa, Ancient Belka, or other worlds where magic is a fact of life and EveryoneIsASuper (well, the majority of the cast, at least). |
| 67 | * ''Manga/TheMagicalGirlAndTheEvilLieutenantUsedToBeArchenemies'' |
| 68 | * In ''Magical Lollipop'', Ichigo is approached one day by a strange talking animal who claims to be from the 26th century, and turns her into a magical girl so that she can build up enough magic power to send it back home. |
| 69 | * ''Manga/MagicalMeowMeowTaruto'' |
| 70 | * ''Anime/MagicalPokaan'' |
| 71 | * ''Anime/MagicalPrincessMinkyMomo'' which follows a princess who has to restore the hopes and dreams of others to bring her kingdom back, and is infamous for the scene halfway through where [[spoiler:she gets run down by a truck before she can restore the final jewel to the crown and has to be reincarnated]]. |
| 72 | * ''Manga/MagilumiereCoLtd'' presents a unique take on the MagicalGirl-- the series takes place in a world where outbreaks of dangerous creatures known as Kaii have become a common phenomenon, and companies employ working women as "magical girls" to wield {{Magitek}} to take them out. Kaii incidents are referred to as "exterminations" but are essentially MagicalGirl battles. There's plenty of the usual MagicalGirl tropes and flashy fights, with the catch that position of "magical girl" is treated mostly like an average career, meaning that it has its own set of workplace politics and conflicts on top of all that. |
| 73 | * ''Anime/MahouNoMakoChan'' is a Magical girl adaptation of "Literature/TheLittleMermaid", in which the magic takes a back seat to the love story. |
| 74 | * ''Anime/MahouShojoLalabel'' is a classic show about a CuteWitch and a thief she's after who are accidentally transported from MagicalLand to our world. |
| 75 | * ''Mahou Shounen Majorian'' adds a GenderBender twist: two boys, one of whom bullies the other, are transformed into girls in order to battle alien invaders. |
| 76 | * ''Anime/MahouShoujoTaisen'', a 2014 anime that aims to give all 47 prefectures of Japan their own magical girl and mascot. |
| 77 | * ''Anime/MahouTsukaiChappy'' is about the CuteWitch Chappy who, becoming sick of the old customs of her people, leaves the Land of Magic for the human world with her little brother Jun and their pet Don-chan. In many ways an {{Expy}} of ''Manga/SallyTheWitch''. |
| 78 | * ''Anime/MajokkoMegChan'', ground-breaking in regards to the genre with both DarkerAndEdgier and HotterAndSexier tones. Included a truly evil character as an antagonist (prior to this, there was a perception that young girls couldn't handle such things), subplots that sometimes touched more serious social issues like DomesticAbuse, extramarital relationships, etc.. and featured {{Fanservice}} in the form of upskirt shots and slight nudity. |
| 79 | * ''Anime/MajokkoTickle'', created by Creator/GoNagai, features a mischievous fairy who was imprisoned inside a book for playing pranks on people and ends up in the human world having adventures with her foster "twin" sister. |
| 80 | * ''Anime/MakerunaMakendo'' |
| 81 | * ''Anime/MaoChan'' features three cute ''eight year old girls'' using recovered alien technology to turn into these... to stop an equally cute and far less effective force of alien invaders. |
| 82 | * ''Manga/MarvelousMelmo'' uses magic pills to [[OlderAlterEgo change her age]]. |
| 83 | * ''Manga/MiriyaAndMarie'' has the titular Miriya study witchcraft under the guidance of Marie from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats''. |
| 84 | * ''Manga/MeiNoNaisho'' is an unusual example. Although it's considered a magical ''girl'' series, the manga is the story of a young ''boy'' who was raised as a girl by his witch mother and possesses witch powers, a wand, and a talking cat familiar. It also features a perverted ''girl'', as opposed to the usual perverted ''boy''. |
| 85 | * ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' features mermaids who transform into {{Magic Idol Singer}}s. |
| 86 | * ''Manga/MeruPuri'' |
| 87 | * ''Anime/{{Mewkledreamy}}'' gives the Magical Girl and the Mentor Mascot the ability to [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind travel others' dreams.]] |
| 88 | * ''Manga/{{Mink}}'' is another MagicIdolSinger who can transform into whoever she wants by means of a CD from the future, but is not allowed to tell anyone else about this while she's using it or face deletion. The series is often considered to be its author Megumi Tachikawa's CreatorDrivenSuccessor to ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail'' due to it going into similar themes about the psychology behind the SecretIdentityIdentity problem. |
| 89 | * ''Manga/MiracleGirls'' is about Tomomi and Mikage, a pair of twins with psychic powers. |
| 90 | * ''Anime/MiracleShojoLimitChan'' features a [[WeCanRebuildHim cyborg heroine]], though a less popular one than its "sister" show ''Cutie Honey''. |
| 91 | * ''Anime/MoeyoKen''--[[JustForFun/XMeetsY the magical girl genre meets]] UsefulNotes/TheShinsengumi. |
| 92 | * ''Anime/{{Moldiver}}'' |
| 93 | * ''Manga/NanakoSOS'' (although, technically, she's more like a SuperHero, lacking a MentorMascot, TransformationTrinket, or most things usually associated with the trope). |
| 94 | * ''VisualNovel/NanatsuiroDrops'' |
| 95 | * ''Anime/NurseWitchKomugi'' |
| 96 | * ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' features TheTeam of {{Cute Witch}}es. The girls primarily use their powers to help out and do other mundane things throughout the series. To list each of these would take too long. And when they actually come to fighting evil, they usually do so through unorthodox and impractical means and have to have their powers boosted in order to be successful. |
| 97 | * ''[[Anime/OkusamaWaMahouShoujo Oku-sama wa Mahou Shoujo: Bewitched Agnes]]'' is about a ''26'' year old Magical girl. |
| 98 | * ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'' has a twist in that the lead magical girl and her arch-nemesis are anthropomorphic rabbits. |
| 99 | * ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' is a very sexual, adult-oriented twist on the formula. |
| 100 | * ''Anime/PetitePrincessYucie'' |
| 101 | * ''Manga/PixiePop'' |
| 102 | * ''Manga/{{Pretear}}'' gives the heroine an UnwantedHarem. |
| 103 | * ''Anime/PrincessComet'' (a.k.a. ''Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san''). |
| 104 | * The ''Anime/PrettyCure'' multiverse (''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'', ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'', ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'', ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'', ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'', ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure'', ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'', ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure'', ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure'', ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'', ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'', ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'', ''Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure'', ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure'', ''Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure''， ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'' and ''Anime/WonderfulPrettyCure'') |
| 105 | * ''Psycho Trader Chinami'' |
| 106 | * ''VideoGame/QuizMagicAcademy'' |
| 107 | * ''Anime/RakugoTennyoOyui'', a Jidai Geki take. |
| 108 | * ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', perhaps the most famous outside (and inside!) of Japan. Many misinformed people will call any other magical girl series a "ripoff" of ''Sailor Moon'', which isn't true in the slightest. |
| 109 | ** ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', the manga which led to the creation of ''Sailor Moon''. |
| 110 | * ''Anime/SaintOctober'' |
| 111 | * ''Manga/SakuraHimeTheLegendOfPrincessSakura'' |
| 112 | * ''Manga/SallyTheWitch'', the first in the genre (for anime[[note]]''Himitsu no Akko-chan'' was the first in the genre for manga[[/note]]) and TropeCodifier for the CuteWitch subgenre. |
| 113 | * ''Anime/SamuraiPirates'' |
| 114 | * ''Anime/SarutobiEcchan'' features a girl with ninja powers. |
| 115 | * ''Anime/SasamiMagicalGirlsClub'' is one of the rare CuteWitch ones to actually see a formal United States localization. |
| 116 | * ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' is a DarkerAndEdgier, HotterAndSexier take on CuteWitch magical girls. It's very conscious of the PeripheryDemographic and aimed at an older audience, but remains a straight take on the genre's themes. It has a non-linear narrative that starts InMediasRes, with a lot of [[MindScrew oblique, symbolic imagery]] to go along with it. |
| 117 | * ''Manga/ShadowLady'', ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail'', [[DuelingShows and]] ''Manga/PhantomThiefJeanne'' combine this genre with the PhantomThief genre. |
| 118 | * ''Manga/ShugoChara'' |
| 119 | * ''Manga/{{Shy}}'' takes inspiration from the genre by having not only the TransformationTrinkets but also MonstersOfTheWeek created by the BigBad's {{Mooks}}'' in addition to the usual superhero tropes. |
| 120 | * ''Anime/SixHeartsPrincess'' |
| 121 | * ''Manga/SomedaysDreamers'' and its sequel ''Manga/SomedaysDreamersIISora''. |
| 122 | * ''Anime/SpellboundMagicalPrincessLilPri'' |
| 123 | * ''Manga/StrayLittleDevil'' |
| 124 | * ''Manga/SugarSugarRune'' is about Chocolat and Vanilla. They are two young witches from the Magical World, the best of friends despite being polar opposites. |
| 125 | * ''Anime/SuperDollLiccaChan'' |
| 126 | * ''Anime/SweetValerian'' |
| 127 | * ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'' has {{Magical Girl Warrior}}s who are empowered by the PowerOfRock to fight an EldritchAbomination. It has a lot of Shout-Outs to another music-themed Magical girl series, ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'', but it was strongly influenced by ''Franchise/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' and it's definitely one of the darker series (although not to the extreme of the [[MagicalGirlGenreDeconstruction 'definitely dark']] types). |
| 128 | * ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'' mostly averts the trope, but has two seasons collectively called ''Yume Kira Dream'' that play it straight. The characters Yumemitchi and Kiraritchi use their Yume Kira bags to become people of specific occupations (fisherwomen, baseball players, firefighters, etc.) and use their abilities to make other Tamagotchis' dreams come true. |
| 129 | * ''Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes'' combines this with the detective genre. |
| 130 | * ''Literature/TelepathyShoujoRan'', if you consider PsychicPowers magical. |
| 131 | * ''[[VisualNovel/DaCapo T.P. Sakura: Time Paladin Sakura]]'' is a Magical Girl-themed spinoff of the ''VisualNovel/DaCapo'' anime. |
| 132 | * ''Manga/TimeStrangerKyoko'' |
| 133 | * ''Manga/TokimekiTonight'', while not generally considered a magical girl series, does feature a heroine with magical powers (namely, the ability to transform herself into a copy of an object by biting that object). |
| 134 | * ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' has an environmentalist theme. It focuses on five girls infused with the DNA of rare animals that gives them special powers and allows them to transform into "Mew Mews." Led by Ichigo Momomiya, the girls protect the earth from aliens who wish to "reclaim" it. |
| 135 | * ''Anime/TweenyWitches'', aka ''Magical Girl Squad Arusu'' |
| 136 | * ''Anime/TwinPrincessOfWonderPlanet'' starts off with two girls who are given powers to save their unique world. It begins as a CuteWitch series, given their antics and how they help, and slowly evolves into MagicalGirlWarrior, cementing the latter position with the second season. |
| 137 | * ''Manga/UltraManiac'' |
| 138 | * ''Anime/UmiMonogatari'' is unusual among MagicalGirlWarrior shows in that the focus is more on emotional development of the characters, the fights are fairly long, the girls' mentor is completely wrong about some things, most of the music is gentle piano music, and the revelation of what the BigBad really is allows for a conclusion that's more true to life than most shows of this nature. |
| 139 | * ''Anime/VividredOperation'' is, bizarrely enough, a Magical Girl show where the girls gain their powers through pure science. [[ClarkesThirdLaw Mind you, the science in question is so advanced that it's practically indistinguishable from magic.]] |
| 140 | * ''Manga/WeAreMagicalBoys'' initially looks like a parody at the start yet focuses on themes of self-confidence, coming to embrace gender-nonconformity and YouAreNotAlone. |
| 141 | * ''Manga/WeddingPeach'' has a wedding theme. They are called "Love Angels" but they have the frilly superpower costumes and such. |
| 142 | * ''Anime/WishUponThePleiades'' |
| 143 | * ''Manga/WitchHatAtelier'' |
| 144 | * ''Manga/WitchWatch'' |
| 145 | * ''Anime/{{Yadamon}}'' |
| 146 | * ''Anime/YumeNoCrayonOukoku'' |
| 147 | * ''Manga/ZodiacPI'' |
| 148 | [[/folder]] |
| 149 | |
| 150 | [[folder:Examples of Deconstructions, Dramas and Parodies of Magical Girl Works]] |
| 151 | * ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' featured an OVA-only AlternateUniverse omake that turned VillainProtagonist Revy into a magical girl called Radical Girl Revy-Chan, [[HeroicComedicSociopath who solves all the loser protagonist's problems with guns]] before returning to the magical land of [[Creator/CharltonHeston Hestonworld]]. This gets him arrested. |
| 152 | * ''Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan'' is another comedic deconstruction. |
| 153 | * ''Manga/BrockenBlood'' is another GenderBender magical "[[WholesomeCrossdresser girl]]" show, but with the added element of MagicIdolSinger. It's also a parody of the Magical girl genre. |
| 154 | * ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' is a hot springs-themed Magical Girl tale about the [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys all-male]] "Earth Defense Club", which [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything doesn't actually do any defending]]. Only after a [[NonstandardCharacterDesign surprisingly-realistic]] [[MentorMascot pink wombat]] gives them superpowers do they start living up to their club's name. As you might have guessed, the show is very much an AffectionateParody of Magical Girl anime and their associated tropes. It later received a sequel series, ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubHappyKiss''. |
| 155 | * ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya''. The original ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' sequel ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'' had one side story where Rin has an interdimensional teacher who trains her by giving her a Magical Girl Rod that "followed rules from a different dimension". This {{manga}} takes that notion and runs with it, but [[CuteAndPsycho Illyasviel von Einzbern]], with a side dish of AdaptationalNiceGuy and AdaptationalHeroism, is the protagonist. The series started out as a parody, but eventually started shifting to a straighter example by ''3rei!''. |
| 156 | ** The Nasuverse loves to play around with this. Arcueid has 3 different magical girl alter-egos, Caren has one, and both Hisui and Kohaku have one. All are jokes. Saber Lily could be considered to be one as well, but Saber's powers are already kinda magical-girl-ish to begin with. |
| 157 | * Gently mocked in the ''Literature/GakuenKino'' novels, a HighSchoolAU of the ''Literature/KinosJourney'' series, in which ultimate pragmatist Kino is thrust into the genre. |
| 158 | * ''Gushing Over Magical Girls'' is about Hiiragi Utena, an AscendedFangirl who gets her wish of becoming a magical girl, like her idols Tres Magia. What she did not expect was being recruited to fight for an evil organization, or how it awakens something within her. |
| 159 | * ''Anime/JungleDeIkou'' is about Natsumi, a 10 year old Japanese girl who gains the power to transform into Mii (May in the dub), a super-powered and super-busty flower spirit, from a perverted old earth spirit named Aham (Ahem in the dub.) |
| 160 | * ''Manga/KamichamaKarin'' started out as a one-shot parody of the genre, but was popular enough to become a series in its own right. |
| 161 | * ''Manga/MagicalGirlApocalypse'' gives a horror example of the genre, with the Magical Girls as the monsters. They are {{Humanoid Abomination}}s with the ability to raise any person they kill as a zombie, who unleash a ZombieApocalypse upon the city. |
| 162 | * ''Manga/MagicalGirlOre'' is a SuperGenderBender manga with a twist: it's the ''heroine'' that turns into a magical ''boy''. "He" even goes into MagicIdolSinger territory to keep his struggling idol career afloat. |
| 163 | * ''Manga/MagicalGirlSite'' is from the same author as ''Magical Girl Apocalypse'', which especially {{deconstruct|ion}}s the idea of the EscapistCharacter. It's ''even more [[ExaggeratedTrope brutal]]'' than ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica''. |
| 164 | * ''Manga/MagicalGirlSpecOpsAsuka'' deconstructs it by way of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome. In a world where Magical Girls and the monsters they fight are actually already a well-known concept, the protagonist is a ShellShockedVeteran, and there's a bustling BlackMarket of otherworldly artifacts and weapons. And the government keep asking her to join their special operations team to deal with the terrorists armed with otherworldly weapons. |
| 165 | * ''Anime/MagicalPlay''. It's an affectionate parody of the genre, especially the warrior variety. |
| 166 | * DeconstructiveParody: ''Anime/MagicalWitchPuniechan''. The series is a parody of magical princess shows and often uses the juxtaposition of cute characters with brutal violence for humor. |
| 167 | * In ''Manga/MahouShoujoPrettyBell'', the magic rod that is supposed to select the next schoolgirl to take up the fight instead chooses a 35-year-old bodybuilder. He's quite willing to take up the mantle, which is a bit of a problem for the demons used to fighting little girls... |
| 168 | * ''[[http://www.fwinc.co.jp/mahoushonen/ Mahou X Shounen X Days!!!!!]]'': Magical Boys that look like wizards, a classic [[MagicalGirlQueenlinessTest Magical Boy Kingliness Test]] as the main backdrop, an owl mascot, two bad guys who don't look like wizards, plus the protagonists' problem of being in the nude if they don't transform together. Despite being lumped in the "parody" section, it's probably the straightest take on a Magical Boy series there is. |
| 169 | * The Mai universe (''Anime/MyHime'', ''Anime/MyOtome'', ''Anime/MyOtomeZwei'', ''Anime/MyOtome0Sifr'', and ''Literature/MaiHimeDestiny'') is one of the earlier magical girl franchises to bring deconstructive elements to the fore. WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld is a lot harder when the school is completely trashed by the midpoint and the people you're trying to save the world from are other magical girls with their own ideas about what "saving the world" means, and ThePowerOfLove can just as easily mean "obsession" as a healthy two-way relationship. Also, if magic exists in the world, the military ''will'' take an interest, which eventually leads to magical girls becoming the spearhead of the world's militaries in ''Otome''. |
| 170 | * ''Anime/MajokkoTsukuneChan'' is a surreal parody of the CuteWitch genre. |
| 171 | * ''Manga/MenheraChan'' is a DarkerAndEdgier Reconstruction with older, troubled girls transforming using box cutters and pills to fight demons seeking to harvest energy from humans. Notable for inspiring a Japanese alternative fashion called Yamikawaii. |
| 172 | * ''Manga/NurseAngelRirikaSOS'' is about a ten-year old girl named Ririka who must protect Earth from aliens who want to turn it to ruins like they did their home planet Queen Earth. The manga and anime have rather different plots. It gained a PeripheryDemographic from fans who enjoyed its darker approach to magical girls than many other series at the time, but the older fanbase is the reason the show was cut short (the toys weren't selling). |
| 173 | * ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' is what happens when you get Creator/StudioGainax (more specifically, the director behind the 5th episode of ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'') to direct a Magical girl series. |
| 174 | * For the more mature audience, there is ''Anime/PapillonRose'', an ecchi parody which is part Magical Girl and part [[{{Hentai}} adult entertainment]]. |
| 175 | * The manga version of ''Manga/PhantomThiefJeanne'' is another deconstruction in a similar vein to ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. The anime is [[OvertookTheManga less so]]. |
| 176 | * [[AffectionateParody Affectionately parodied]] in ''Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ''. |
| 177 | * The ''Anime/PrettySammy'' series (which itself is a gentle parody of ''Anime/SailorMoon''). |
| 178 | * ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' took the ''Utena'' crowd back deeper into Magical Girl territory, though it is still unique. |
| 179 | * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', another one for the {{Deconstruction}} team. It is often considered to be the Magical girl ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' (in terms of GenreDeconstruction and [[DarkerAndEdgier extreme darkness of tone]]). |
| 180 | ** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' is similarly considered to be the Magical girl ''[[TheMovie End of Evangelion]]''. |
| 181 | ** See also the spin-offs ''Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica'', ''Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica'', ''Manga/PuellaMagiSuzuneMagica'' and the HistoricalFantasy ''Manga/PuellaMagiTartMagica''. |
| 182 | * ''Anime/PuniPuniPoemi'' viciously satirizes magical girl shows (among many other things). |
| 183 | * ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' downplays this. The goal of the creators was to set up a kitchen sink of shoujo tropes to deconstruct which includes but is not limited to magical girls. But since the director, writer, and character designer jumped ship from ''Anime/SailorMoon'' to create the series, comparisons to ''Sailor Moon'' made [[AdvertisingByAssociation marketable references]] that came to dominate the discourse about it. Yes, the series does have a transformation sequence of sorts, and yes, it does have a message about ThePowerOfLove and what it can and can't accomplish, but there are a lot of other things going on too. English-speakers are often [[SmallReferencePools unaware of the reference pool]] the show is drawing from - particularly the direct line from its themes of gender-bending and revolution (and rose motifs) to {{Creator/Riyoko Ikeda}}'s foundational shoujo classic, ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles''. Its brand of interpersonal and sibling drama owes a debt to ''Manga/DearBrother'', a highly psychological but more niche work also created by Ikeda. |
| 184 | * ''Manga/SuicideGirl'' is a deconstructive mix of Horror and Tragedy with the main character trying to take her own life with no success. Ironically, her suicidal tendencies made her a hero that will save citizens from ending themselves. |
| 185 | * ''Manga/SuperPig'' is a parody and an example at the same time, one of the few (perhaps the only) parodies actually aimed at the same demographic as straight examples. Its protagonist is a MagicalGirlWarrior who transforms not into a glamorous FrillsOfJustice-clad heroine, but instead, into a [[AnimalSuperheroes superpowered pig]] in a cape. |
| 186 | * ''Anime/UtaKata'' initially starts off playing this trope straight, but then veers off as the 14-year old main character: develops a hatred towards herself, realizes the world is full of cruelty, and becomes a slave to her emotions. [[spoiler:The latter point causes her to unwillingly transform and use her Djinn-given powers without mercy towards civilians]]. |
| 187 | * ''Anime/YukiYunaIsAHero'' rivals ''Madoka'' in terms of how dark it gets but is overall more optimistic. It stars the titular Yuna and her three (later four) friends. The government has the girls become "heroes" in order to protect Japan from monsters. |

| 190 | [[folder:Examples of the Magical Girl trope referred to in other works:]] |
| 191 | * {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d: The DVD extras of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' have a gag dub in which a student accuses Belldandy of being a Magical Girl. Belldandy insists that she is a Goddess, not a Magical Girl, and they then debate the crucial differences. |
| 192 | ** This was likely inspired by a situation in the manga when [[RichBitch Sayoko]] witnessed Belldandy's powers and accused her of being a witch. Sayoko specifically referred to Magical Girl tropes, including the IdolSinger. |
| 193 | * ''Manga/AsukaHybrid'' has the character [[TeamMom Hitomi]], who made a wish upon meeting a hooded mage in her teens to become a magical girl, and she still has her powers in her thirties. It's not a detriment, [[BlessedWithSuck but it's not exactly useful, either]] -- she transforms and gets a frilly outfit, but she doesn't have much in the way of magical powers (her MagicStaff is purely decorative), and her having [[HeroicSpirit "100 trillion times the love, courage, and guts"]] appears to just be a placebo. She herself is rather miffed by the fact her dress is ''blue'' ([[GenreSavvy indicating she's the number-two to a nonexistent]] PinkHeroine) and that there are no supervillains to fight, [[BloodKnight which she feels defeats the whole point of becoming a magical girl]]. |
| 194 | * In an episode of ''Anime/BestStudentCouncil'', one character is suspected of being a magical girl; both the MagicalGirlWarrior and the CuteWitch (complete with OlderAlterEgo) versions are brought up. |
| 195 | * One of the Omake of ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' makes Revy a Magical girl, giving her a cheerful, {{Moe}} facade and MoreDakka. |
| 196 | * From ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', we have a lesser villain Charlotte Cuuhlhourne, TheFightingNarcissist whose SuperMode comes complete with Franchise/SailorMoon-esque TransformationSequence plus a tutu for battle outfit. There's just one problem: '''he''' is a huge, muscular DragQueen; seeing him in a glorious ballerina-princess getup sends his opponent into hysterical laughing fits. |
| 197 | * Pokomi from ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'' |
| 198 | * Sharanra's character design in ''Anime/TheBraveOfGoldGoldran'' is built around this trope, though she cannot perform any magic. |
| 199 | * ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' is a forerunner of the ''MagicalGirlWarrior'' version, which blended {{fanservice}} and fun battles in one tongue-in-cheek package. Fans are divided on whether she counts as a true magical girl or a superhero. |
| 200 | ** ''Anime/NewCuteyHoney'' is the sequel, set 100 years after the original. |
| 201 | ** ''Anime/CuteyHoneyFlash'' is a straight magical girl variant. |
| 202 | *** ''Anime/CuteyHoneyTennyoDensetsu'' is set in 2005, and features a version of Cutey Honey who has time travelled from the 70s to battle Panther Claw in the new millenium. |
| 203 | *** ''Anime/CuteyHoneySeed'' is set in an AlternateUniverse, where a Cutey Honey {{Otaku}} finds a beautiful alien girl who, like all members of her species, develops any power necessary to protect herself and others. After watching several episodes of Cutey Honey, she develops "super powers" just like the "real" Honey's, even going so far as to shout "Honey Flash!" |
| 204 | * The ShowWithinAShow "Ai no Senshi Sweetie Millie" from ''Manga/ChargerGirl'' |
| 205 | * The ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' movie, ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasGreatAdventureIntoTheUnderworld'' have Nobita asking for the What-If Phone Booth to create a parallel-verse where magic does in fact exist. It's in this world the gang (Doraemon, Nobita, and alternate versions of Shizuka, Gian and Suneo) meets Miyoko Mangetsu, daughter of a powerful wizard named Professor Mangetsu whose appearance, basic outfit, and default magical powers seems directly lifted from Magical Girl shows. |
| 206 | * The Kamikaze Fireballs in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' are a parody of the trope, complete with transformation sequence. The main one, Ribrianne, turns into an {{Acrofatic}} BigFun fairy with elemets of {{Gonk}} - though the members of her universe seem to genuinely consider her beautiful in that form. |
| 207 | * Parodied in episode 9 of ''Anime/GagMangaBiyori'' - among other things, it's the heroine's ''father'' who gets naked when she transforms, and her magical girl "outfit" is merely a different top and an antennae on top of her head. |
| 208 | * ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVjz6Ziteg0 an episode]] where they are told NOT to use a {{lost technology}} wand, as it has been known to start wars. |
| 209 | * From the same TV season, episode eight of ''VisualNovel/H2OFootprintsInTheSand'' had an extended sequence revolving around Otoha as a magical girl. That was probably the least odd thing in that episode. |
| 210 | * Parodied in ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya''; the main characters create a movie in which the protagonist is a bunny girl-waitress from the future whose attacks include shooting laser beams, rifle bullets, and micro black holes (the last two novel-only) from her eyes. |
| 211 | * Ayumi Kinoshita, a [[{{Meganekko}} bespectacled]] sickly girl from ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'', learns from her teacher how to project her astral body as a physical presence, just so she can attend school with her friends. In the process, she learns to transform it into any shape she wishes... including an indestructible Magical girl when said friends are kidnapped. |
| 212 | * In ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', France turns into Magic Strike, causing him to wear a frilly pink dress and carry a matching bullhorn. (By "Strike" he means not work and picket until your employer gives you what you want.) |
| 213 | * In ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', Serafall Leviathan, one of the four rulers (Maou) of Hell, likes to cosplay as one, and even has her own TV Show, "Miracle☆Levia-tan". Issei nicknames her ''Maou Shoujo''. |
| 214 | * In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' Kira's second episode, ''Ayakashisenshi-hen'', [[{{Miko}} Rika Furude]] and [[BrattyHalfPint Satoko Houjou]] become magical girls in order to battle the evil magic-using generals of the secret magic society, Tokyo Magika ([[NightmareFetishist Takano]], [[EvilUncle Teppei]], [[TheMenInBlack Okonogi]] & Nomura) and their Ritual Tool Devils with the help of the Rika Cheering Brigade ([[ChivalrousPervert Keiichi]], [[CuteBruiser Rena]], [[RedOniBlueOni Mion, Shion]], & [[DeadlyDoctor Irie]]) as well as [[AbsurdlyYouthfulMother Hanyuu]]. |
| 215 | * In ''Manga/KannagiCrazyShrineMaidens'', after viewing a magical girl on TV, Nagi immediately buys a toy wand and modifies it into an impurity-vanquishing spiritual weapon to compensate for her lack of power. Then she gets ''really'' into it and starts doing poses. It looks goofy on an ancient goddess, but Nagi's clearly enjoying herself. |
| 216 | * ''Literature/KazeNoStigma'' had a one-shot antagonist which is somewhere blurred between the lines of a Magical Girl played straight or deconstructed, but she doesn't have enough screen time for it to matter. |
| 217 | * Key of ''Anime/KeyTheMetalIdol'' becomes more of a Magical Girl as the series progresses, though this used primarily to deconstruct the trope as Key's transformations into her more human form show just how harrowing the powers of a magical girl can be in unwitting (read Naive) hands. |
| 218 | * Kilala of ''Manga/KilalaPrincess''. |
| 219 | * ''Manga/KissOfTheRosePrincess'' has Anise, who summons the magical members of her UnwantedHarem via magical cards. |
| 220 | * ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}'' has its main character Sana, a child actress, occasionally dress up as what appears to be a hybrid of Chacha's Magical Princess transformation from ''Manga/AkazukinChacha'' and Ririka's Nurse Angel form from ''Manga/NurseAngelRirikaSOS'' (as all of these series and ''Manga/HimechansRibbon'' were published in the same shoujo magazine and their anime adaptations consisted of much of the same production companies). The most prominent of these appearances is during a BizarroEpisode towards the end of the series, where she has to battle a robotic kaiju version of her best friend's mother. |
| 221 | * Raichou from ''Literature/KyouranKazokuNikki'' claims to be a magical girl. |
| 222 | * The same situation pops up in ''Manga/LoveHina'', where Kaolla Su is compared to a Magical girl because she eats a lot, talks to animals, and can change into an adult. Kentaro Sakata and one of Keitaro's highschool friends vainly struggle to convince the main characters that Kaolla was one. |
| 223 | * ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'' has this genre covered with the InUniverse anime series "Flower Princess Blaze", which serves as the basis for Marin's second cosplay. The cosplayer Sajuna "Juju" Inui in particular specializes in this kind of characters, as [[TragicDream she dreamed to become one as a child]]. |
| 224 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has the ShowWithinAShow, "Mahou Shoujo Biblion". The show's resident CosplayOtakuGirl[=/=]PlayfulHacker[=/=]MetaGuy cosplays as a character from the show. Said girl eventually gets a Magical girl staff as her artifact. It gives her [[ExtremeGraphicalRepresentation super hacking powers.]] |
| 225 | ** Asakara, on witnessing Negi's powers for the first time, theorizes that he is a magical girl (boy version). |
| 226 | * Shuichi of ''Manga/MidoriDays'' is a doll otaku, who always carries around a doll of [[ShowWithinAShow the fictional magical girl Ultra-Marin]]. |
| 227 | * ''Manga/NanakaSixSeventeen'' has ''Magical Domiko'', a ShowWithinAShow that 6-year-old Nanaka likes. |
| 228 | * ''Manga/NinjaNonsense'' has a parody in the final episode with "Magical Nin-Nin Shinobu". |
| 229 | * The main character in ''Anime/OtakuNoVideo'' is able to break into the anime industry with his magical girl series, Misty May. |
| 230 | * The ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' short story "How to Defeat a Kind Enemy" (adapted as an OVA and released with the Season 1 boxset) has Nyarko undergo TrainingFromHell to become a Magical Girl after being inspired by a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of ''Anime/PrettyCure''. What makes this really unusual is, she's ''already'' a HenshinHero (in the ''Series/KamenRider'' mold); in fact, her first transformation is a combined ShoutOut to ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and ''Series/KamenRiderKuuga''. |
| 231 | * Behoimi in ''Anime/PaniPoniDash''. She's not really a Magical Girl, but that doesn't stop her from playing the role. She even gets her own ImageSong about her Magical Girl-ness. |
| 232 | ** She now has a spin-off manga, ''Manga/TheAlternativeCureMagicalGirlBehoimiChan'', where she is an actual magical girl. |
| 233 | * The main character in ''Manga/PenguinMusume Heart'' is obsessed with [[ShowWithinAShow Takenoko-chan]], a magical catgirl who protects the "holy place" from the evil Bamboo King. There's apparently a sequel as well, Takenoko-chan R. |
| 234 | * ''Anime/ReCreators'' has characters from different [[ShowWithinAShow fictional works]] colliding in modern-day Tokyo, one of them being 'Magical Slayer Mamika', a naive magical girl from a show aimed at grade-schoolers. |
| 235 | * Episode 7 of ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' focused on {{Art Shift}}s, with the title sequence and parts of the episode devoted to Kafuka, Chiri, and Meru as the magical girl team Model Warrior Lily Cure, and Nozomu Itoshiki as the BigBad, The Teacher Of Despair. It even closes with an OnTheNext continuing the plot. This is a drastic change from the usual format of the show. |
| 236 | * The {{OVA}} of ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' features a parody on the Magical Girl genre, with several female cast members as magical girls. |
| 237 | * Parodied in the 21st episode of the second season of ''Manga/SchoolRumble'', where Mai Otsuka becomes a magical girl. |
| 238 | * Angol Mois' true form in ''Manga/SgtFrog'' seems to be a parody of the Magical Girl; she has the StockFootage transformation and special-attack scenes, the costume, and a cute personality, but she's the Lord of Terror from the prophecies of Nostradamus who came to destroy the world with the "Lucifer Spear". |
| 239 | * One of the [[ShowWithinAShow fictional shows]] in ''Manga/SKETDance'' is an anime called "Futari wa Nervous", which is obviously a parody of ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure''. |
| 240 | * [[Manga/SpillItCocktailKnights Spill it, Cocktail Knights!]] focuses on the romance between a boy and a magical girl and the inherent comedy of your crush not knowing you know her secret identity. |
| 241 | * Takuto from ''Anime/StarDriver'' could be considered a magical ''boy'', due to his Galactic Pretty Boy form. |
| 242 | * ''Amuri in Star Ocean'' features elements of the MagicalGirlWarrior subtrope. |
| 243 | * One of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'''s Parallel Works, ''Kiyal's Magical Time'', mixes this with HumongousMecha. |
| 244 | * The plot of one episode of ''VisualNovel/TheyAreMyNobleMasters'' is started when Ren discovers that Yume has written a story starring herself as a magical girl. |
| 245 | * Lara Tchaikoskaya / Magical Cat in ''[[Anime/TigerAndBunny Tiger & Bunny 2]]'' is largely based on this, capable for using [[MakingASplash water attacks]] with or without her cutesy sceptre. |
| 246 | ** Kotetsu T. Kaburagi / Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr. had more MagicalGirl vibes in their TransformationSequence along with their FinishingMove compared to previous seasons. Though they could almost be classified as a "magical ''man''" if it weren't for their mecha suits. |
| 247 | * ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' combines this with an {{Expy}}. Kyoko Kirisaki from ''Manga/BlackCat'' is turned into ''[[ShowWithinAShow Magical Flame Kyoko]]'', a pyromaniac magical girl. |
| 248 | ** Also, two of Mikan's school friends presumably now believe ''she's'' a MagicalGirlWarrior after they see her chasing down a criminal while wearing Peke. |
| 249 | * The ShowWithinAShow ''Puru Puru Pururin'' of the anime version of ''Anime/WelcomeToTheNHK''. Only a few snippets are shown, in which we see that Pururin is accompained by a number of animated household objects, including a vacuum cleaner upon which she flies, and that her trademark is to randomly append the word "Purin" to the end of sentences. |
| 250 | * Dark Magician Girl in ''Anime/YuGiOh'' is largely based on this idea, with several of her summoning scenes looking similar to magical girl transformation sequences. Despite the name, she is ''not'' a DarkMagicalGirl. |
| 251 | ** Yugi himself uses a lot of tropes that usually indicate a magical girl -- a TransformationTrinket, at least one confirmed [[CallingYourAttacks named attack]] (Mind Crush), and a TransformationSequence -- that if it weren't for the SuperPoweredAlterEgo, one could almost classify him as a "magical boy". |
| 252 | * ''Manga/{{Yurara}}'' has elements of this, as the main character is able to transform and battle evil spirits with powerful magic. |
| 253 | * ShowWithinAShow ''Majokko Mirakurun'' in ''Manga/YuruYuri''. |
| 254 | * Pastissier Macaroon from ''Manga/YuushaGojoKumiaiKouryuugataKeijiban''. Being a twenty-year-old college student, she considers her frilly outfit, transformation phrase, transformation sequence, poses, and finishing move to be embarrassing, and it doesn't help that her fairy mascots constantly demand sweets and annoy her while she's at college. |
| 255 | * One conversation in ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'' has the trio debate over magical girls and whether or not there were any magical boys within the genre. They eventually decided Literature/HarryPotter counted as one. |
