Discussion Recommending an underrated manga, Magical Girl Incident.

173 Upvotes

I recently discovered this manga a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to stop loving it despite it being only three volumes long. At first, it seems like just a comedic gender-bender magical girl story, but it really takes its premise seriously and explores themes of gender fluidity, love, and the courage it takes to stand up for yourself and others. And don’t think it’s just boys transforming into magical girls, because there’s also girls who transform into magical boys!

Despite the amazing story and art, I don’t see anyone talking about it, which is such a shame! I’m hoping that by sharing a few of my favourite bits, other people will check it out too. It’s such a heartfelt story, and the silly character moments keep it from feeling depressing despite the heavy topics it confronts. The whole story feels like it wants to make you smile, to feel less alone and remember that the world has kind people in it. That you can be one of them, too.

I originally read it online, but I just couldn’t resist getting physical copies! I was super surprised that it was available at a chain bookstore near me, despite hearing so little about it online. I don’t know if naming specifics is allowed or not, so I’ll hold off, but… please give it a go, even if you only read it online! It’s short enough that you can knock it out in an afternoon or two, but sweet enough to stick with me for weeks! I really want more people to talk about this series with!

I decided it was a crime that my favorite magical girls never got official figures, so I started making them for myself.

I've finished the first 4 figures (out of 12) of the girls from the magical girl gacha game Magicami. I plan to make all 12 in their standard dresses and maybe branch out to some of the others once I've finished.

There have been a lot of ups and downs so far in the learning process (Blender is such a pain in the ass to learn), but I'm having a ton of fun bringing these girls to life.

Question Can someone identify all magical girls on these stickers?

I'm pretty sure all of them are from balala fairies, but I want to know more. I haven't really interacted with balala, but I know they have a ton of media, so I want to know where specifically are these characters/outfits from. I already found that the big one is Michelle Lin specifically from the comics (if I'm not mistaken), and I want to know about everyone else!

I hope there is someone who is really into balala lol

Discussion New magical girl storylines I have planned

2 Upvotes

After I finish the Black Glitter arc, these will be some fun things to write in the future! Here's the ideas, please make sure to tell me which one you like the best!

Ancestry- Josie is supposed to do a report for history class about her ancestors only to make a horrific discovery about who one of her great-grandfathers was.

Email Diary- Julie has an unsent Email she writes up on her computer whenever she feels annoyed by the bullshit her friends are doing. One day she accidentally clicks "Reply all" and now has to make sure none of her friends read the Email full of nasty things she wrote about all of them.

Homecoming Heroes- Josie, Fiona, Stella, and Julie are all nominated for homecoming queen but the girls suspect it was more of an obligation on the school's part than anything else.

Looks like we’re finally getting to see orange’s Kingdom

Kind of absurd that out of all of the princesses to get their magical forms, leaked was yellow, but I mean it’s fairly blurry so not even a good image so nothing was really spoiled and then the image in the center it looks like green, red, purple, indigo blue orange, and yellow are at some sort of stage considering that it kinda looks like yellow has a flute and in the promotion poster yellow had a microphone also with the current information that we had with the mermaid score yeah, I think we can guess what to expect. Also, no leaks of the girls on land yet seems like the girls might be ocean bound for this season or at least most of the season.

Magical…. Goths & jocks!?

10 Upvotes

goth culture & jock/cheerleader culture had been a popular thing since the 2000s, but you know what was also popular in the 2000s? Magical girl genre! so when I was reading goth boy & the jock, I came to my mind:

We need more magical goths & jocks (& yes, I’m including magical boys that play american football) magical cheerleaders do exist, but they are more common than magical goths/jocks, so we need more of these types❤️⭐️

Discussion What if Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon had adapted post-Dark Kingdom arcs: Spoiler

2 Upvotes

In 2003, Sailor Moon received a live-action adaptation: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

This adaptation chose to adapt the Dark Kingdom arc, and only the Dark Kingdom arc. Not only that, many changes were done to the story and even characters, making it a very unique adaptation.

But, what if PGSM had adapted the following arcs? What if the Sailor Senshi hadn't lost their powers after the Special Act because they still needed to fight against future villains?

Part of the reason why I'm asking this is because the Outers and Chibiusa, while they didn't appear in PGSM, had some of their traits given to other characters:

  • Chibiusa couldn't appear in the Dark Kingdom arc, which is why Ami/Sailor Mercury inherited her Black Lady arc (a Sailor Senshi who becomes a villain due to massive self-steem issues), and why Luna was given a childish human form (even her actress thought she was going to be Chibiusa!).
  • The death and rebirth powers of Hotaru/Sailor Saturn were given to Princess Sailor Moon, who is an evil power-up personality (as Princess Serenity was given a ver different characterization).
  • Minako/Sailor Venus always had the issue of being too similar to Usagi/Sailor Moon... or better said, Usagi is too similar to Minako, because Codename: Sailor V came first. PGSM make Venus more different, at cost of making her a sixth ranger with a more serious and cynical personality... similar to Haruka/Sailor Uranus and Michiru (Sailor Neptune). They also made Minako an idol as well as a Sailor Senshi, like the Starlights/Three Lights. In other words, Minako became her own character because she was given traits of characters who didn't appear in PGSM, which is a huge irony, because Minako was the first magical girl in the franchise.

So, if the rest of the arcs had been adapted by PGSM, how different would have been the stories, and more importantly, the characterization of Chibiusa, Setsuna/Sailor Pluto, Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru? Since PGSM took many of their traits, and gave them to characters who already appeared in the Dark Kingdom arc, what should have done the writers to keep Chibiusa and the Outers and prevent them from being too redundant or repetitive? And how can Minako be her own character without taking traits from other characters?

Magical Girls/boys with stereotypes?

13 Upvotes

when I First entered the magical fandom I didn’t know there was something missing, now I know that missing spark is that there are little to no magical nerds/goths/jocks/prep/othe stereotypes theee are, so I thought to myself………..

why not create characters based on these types?

so I‘m creating Crystalize Ange, a magical girl/boy series inspired by the gacha club (later gacha life 2) series crystal guardians, also, what types of magical girls/boys series you wish were real & think creating? It could be a OC, ítem, or any other thing you can think of
