el autor de "mahou shoujo of the dead" hace otra historia de chicas mágicas corrigiendo los errores de la obra mencionada. Personajes mejor construidos, una historia trágica que te arrastra de principio a fin y un final decente y con cierto sentido gracias a las pistas que da desde el principio del manga y demostrando que tenía una idea mucho más clara y cerrada que en su anterior trabajo. Recomendable leerse antes Mahou shoujo of the dead para entender mejor este manga porque tiene más paralelismo de los que uno podría pensar...
El dibujo mantiene la calidad de su anterior trabajo con ese aspecto tan grotesco ... aunque poco original ya que los administradores han tenido clara inspiración en distintas películas de terror, esta falta de originalidad la compensa con unos protagonistas mejor construidos sobre todo la atormentada protagonista

Mahou shoujo site was an anime I saw 3 years ago or so and I liked it.I didn't think of reading the manga ,because I was like ''A second season might be released'' . A month ago or so , I learnt that the anime changed stuff from the manga so I realised that there'll be no season 2 and I decided to read the manga.

The story was nice,it had an interesting premise.For sure it was edgy like REALLY edgy ,but I enjoyed it ,I guess. A thing I kinda didn't like was the conclusion (2 last chapters) ,in which characters from the mangaka's previous ... manga appeared and somehow a connection between the two series was evoked. What can I say ,maybe people who have read both series actually enjoyed that thing,but it felt off to me.

The art was nice and clean ,which made mahou shoujo site an easy read.

The characters were fine I guess, some of theme were likeable and were surrounded by their own mysteries .I felt that some others could have been managed better though.

Overall I enjoyed the series ,it was a nice read and I would recommend it to people who are into magical girls and edgy series

Are you looking for a psychological horror where the characters experience hardships that mess with their minds and try to overcome them in a comprehensible way? Do you want a thriller that will leave you at the edge of your seat waiting for the next chapter to begin? Are you looking for a tactful depiction of trauma and a respectful approach to difficult topics? Then go away! This isn't any of these things.
Mahou Shoujo Site is like a train-wreck: it's horrible, bloody and depressing, and you can't understand what you're seeing or believe it's real, but it's so hard to look away. The reason it's ... hard to look away, is because the beginning of this manga is pretty promising, but less then halfway through the real nature of this storytelling come to light.
PLOT: the concept is interesting and a bit different from other magical girl stories. I liked the idea that there are stakes present for the characters... or at least it seems so at the beginning. The further you read, the more plot holes you encounter. Every chapter ignores the rules the previous sets for the world of this manga, how the power and magic systems work, how strong or weak the characters are in it's confines. Sometimes, Things just happen, because they need to move the plot. Other times, characters develop new skills in the span of two panels without explanation, and the other characters just accept it immediately. The plot is like a loose set or recommendations the manga sometimes returns to, but never follows fully.
WRITING & THEMES: even for a psychological thriller, this manga is VERY heavy in traumatic and difficult themes. It's not a bad thing on it's own, plenty of other works show or reference traumatic things in a relevant and tactful way, even if a lot of these kinds of elements are present. But Mahou Shoujo Site is not like that. This manga feels like a person thinking of every single difficult, traumatic, horrible, inhuman and evil thing people can do or go through and constantly dumps them every chapter, every panel, every brushstroke. Murder? Plenty! Abuse? Sure, many kinds of it. Sexual assault? practically the norm. Topics of identity, acceptance and family relationship? these are stomped on and paraded around like they're a trophy, and not respectfully addressed. Hell, 99% of the traumatic scenes, difficult topics and graphic themes are not relevant to the plot. It feels like they're just placed there to fill the page. There is not reason to include so much horrible events that do not contribute to the plot whatsoever, it's just torture porn.
The writing around these events is horrible, unrealistic and ridiculous. It denies the reader a sense of immersion and empathy or even care for the characters. Another problem is the consistency of text. Sometimes, for whole chapters there is almost no text, and then BOOM exposition bomb, where there are no panels and only text.
COMPREHENSIBILITY: the manga is incomprehensible. Some scenes are so confusing you have to re - read just to understand what the hell just happened, and even then you are left to fill in the blanks yourself or just ignore whole pages of confusing panels that lead nowhere. Sometimes, the characters fight and die, but in the next panel they're up and running. The scenes are so harshly blackened no detail is understandable, or so whitened you can only see a line or two of ink. It's hard to make out the actions of the characters when the whole panel is full of blood or light and nothing else.
A problem in a different realm of comprehensibility is plot comprehensibility. The plot is incomprehensible unless you pause the manga somewhere in the middle (only the translator recommended where to stop, it's not even official) and go read a whole different manga. But the other work is not a prequel, it relies on this manga, so it's not like you can read it before and understand. Apparently there is another story you need to read to understand the ending, but I couldn't even find it anywhere. This manga relies on the existence of other works, with different characters and settings, that themselves rely on this manga to be understandable. Not a good setup...
CHARACTERS: the characters are supposed to be taken seriously, but it's impossible when every single one of them is just a stereotype taken to the extreme. We have the depressed girl, the bullied abused girl, the angry bully girl, the yakuza girl, etc etc.. it feels mean to reduce them to a stereotype, but there is honestly nothing else to them. It's so dull and like a parody.
Another character problem is the sheer number of different characters that are supposed to be relevant. Sure, there are multiple magical girls, okay. But every couple of chapters another one is introduced and they're impossible to remember. Half the time you're sure one of them died but they're actually fine and dandy.
Irrelevant characters are introduced every chapter, and you're expected to remember and care for them too. They're also purely stereotypes, in case you were wondering.
LENGTH AND FILLER: this manga is too long. The story has a lot of unnecessary filler, irrelevant backstories, and full chapters of gore and abuse that are irrelevant to the plot.
CHRONOLOGY: many stories rely on non chronological storytelling. This one tries it too, so hard but ultimately it's futile. Because of the plain and poor designs visually, it's not clear when they're going to a time other than the present, and how the story should be understood. The character died? Don't worry, actually, this character died 20 years ago... or 20 years from now... or in some kind of time that isn't real - which is not a plot device, just a thing that happens without explanation.
There is so much to say about this manga and none of it is good. Please spare your eyes, and read something better. There is so much to offer in this genre and Mahou Shoujo Site is none of it
