I like to see mental health represented in manga as it's something I struggle with, so it's a comfort to see characters that I can relate to on that level. However, any entertainment I got from the series was trampled down by the blatant sexualization of minors. The protagonists are all 14-15 years old and we get shown their panty shots. I mean hell, one of the major points in the plot is about one of the girls' magic panties.
The story is pretty wild, as more and more things keep piling up to make things take crazier and crazier turns. You really have to

suspend your disbelief of reality for this. I quite enjoyed the look of the admins contrasted to the look of the protagonists.
The art is also quite nice. While not anything superb, it can be pleasing to the eye at times. The characters' experessions, especially those that are 'uglier' are drawn well.
I enjoyed Aya's character, mainly because she reminds me of myself. Seeing her friendship blossom with Tsuyuno was endearing as well. Also, the trans rep we get from Kiyoharu is good -- she is reffered to as a 'she' in the manga, and despite some surprise in the beginning from other magical girls, they just come to accept her for the way she is.
In the end, the pedophilia made this unreadable for me. It is incredibly uncomfortable to have to stare into the asses of children.
