Hopefully this'll have an original ending to conclude the story.

Hmm, so the manga remains unfinished due to the author dying. I wonder if BONES will do their own ending.

I don't like magic girl anime but since it's made by studio bones I might give this a chance.

@Piromysl I was also attracted by the fact that the manga was written quite a long time ago (the first chapter came out a year after her last anime) and consists of only three volumes. So technically they could adapt the entire story, presumably creating an original ending for the anime.

Project started 8 years ago but was shelved due to mangaka's death

It's from the late author of Inu x Boku SS, so if two main leads gonna have similar dynamic, then I'm all sold! I'm also a sucker for those villain x hero romances.
It's by BONES on top of that! Hype!

The manga centers on Mira, the clever brains behind an evil organization that invades and destroys everything in its path. One day, a magical girl named Byakuya Mimori decides to stand up to the organization, and Mira falls in love with her at first sight.
