This was a really nice take on the magical girl genre. I liked the world building, characters, and plot choices. It was a nice read every time it appeared and I had a lot of fun. However, I felt like even though I liked the characters, I wasn't forming any connections to them and while I did enjoy the manga I wasn't thinking about it in between chapters so much. It's a good story but just didn't completely connect with me, which is okay.

If you enjoy magical girl stories and you like manga like My Hero Academia, then you'll like this one too especially ...

A modern take on the magical girl genre, with a lot of parallels and straight-up references to the real world tech industry. Early on, the pace is quite slow, resembling a slice of life manga, later on though it is more fighting-shonen-like. Now, the reason I rated this a 10 is that the ending is just one of the best I have seen in modern manga. As the story goes the writing just keeps getting better. The art is nothing to scoff at either, although, unlike the writing, it maintains a consistently high quality throughout every chapter. The themes of the story are consistent and ...

Mixed Feelings

Well-written

Preliminary (60/165 eps)

A fascinating take on the magical girl genre. It not only reimagines the concept of feminine heroines using magic to defeat monsters into a modern setting with corporations and politics, but also transforms the privatised and personalised aspect of the genre - where the characters keep their heroic identities a secret - into corporate, public life. The art here is dynamic, and the character designs are eye-catching. And though the protagonist is not a big step away from the modern Shonen protagonist, who obsesses over justice and morality, her interactions with the strange and quirky main characters along with her experiences of working in a ... corporate job shine through. You can clearly tell that the mangaka has gone through some corporate jobs before.

Yet one issue narratively here is that despite being a Shonen manga that depends on incorporating dynamic fight scenes into the story, there is very little sense of conflict and threat each time the characters embark on a fight. There seem to be too few stakes in the action scenes with characters consistently and constantly making out of conflicts. Though they learn new things about themselves that nicely advances character development, they never seem to experience the agony of having their life threatened. This can really diminish the urgency of action scenes, making them feel more like showcases of characters and their personalities than tense and exciting situations. However, though in this aspect, the manga may struggle, what makes up much of the manga's interesting aspects is its setting and the societal issues that it attempts to shine a light on.

I want to touch on the setting as this is a really interesting spin. It adds original and interesting world-building that keeps readers intrigued. But this take very boldly has a social and political dimension as well. By having a corporate world as the backdrop, and setting the main characters up in a start-up company while having an antagonistic figure in a huge corporation CEO and discussing issues pertaining to deregulation, the manga touches on real-world issues like the social effects of capitalism, corporation dominance, and the treatment of workers and their work. Yet, despite this bold step, the story here seems to be adopting a rather simplistic perspective of this whole system. It depicts start-ups that shake up the status quo as a moral good and a good for workers, and big corporations with their desire for capital as bad and tone deaf to the sufferings of the common people. This is quite a simplistic and exaggerated rendering of things, for instance, it does not fully take into account the wide effects of this economic and political system, not fully rendering the effect of treating people as expendable, depicting them more as one-offs and focusing on the main characters and their desirable working conditions under a fictional start-up. In the face of this simplistic ideology, the story can seem extremely naive which makes it hard to take the very real issues that the story is trying to grapple with seriously.

Overall, Kabushikigashia Magi-Lumiere is a fascinating manga with a great setting that touches on very pertinent topics. In terms of craft, the manga is nicely illustrated, has great flow and was a pleasure to read. Yet, its rather simplistic take on its setting and story, as well as its rather flat action arcs can make the read a little hard to be fully invested in.
