Having caught up with the latest chapter, I wanted to update my review on this overlooked manga.
I've never played the game but I heard that the manga was a better retelling of it than the anime. I quickly became invested in the story due to its many mysteries, which gradually unravel with each new volume. The art style also grows more polished and fights become longer. If you're a fan of the original anime, you may be surprised by the more light-hearted tone of this manga. But as you read on, you realize that it's more depressing under the surface.
Iroha Tamaki is a strong-willed and ... kind-hearted protagonist who becomes more confident as the story progresses. She develops a close bond with Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran magical girl with a mysterious past. Together, they encounter other magical girls - some more friendly than others - as they try to uncover the secret of Kamihama City.
It took me some time to grow attached to the characters, as some of them feel shallow at first. But after 7 volumes, I can say that I really enjoy this manga and I'll be patiently waiting for new chapters.
