As everyone knows, Magical Girls usually retire after graduating school.
Not so Seika Hitoishi.
At 30 years old she has to balance her life as a light novel editor in Tokyo while also protecting the city from otherworldly threats wherever she can.
In a world full of dangers and more-or-less useful allied Magical Girls, she is determined to keep the peace, but she has to struggle with her own demons and otherworldly enemies who target her specifically.
She is the Magical Girl Minerva Crimson, and this is her story.

Good start for a magical girl drama. It's too early to say how the balance between SoL, drama, and other elements will work out, and what the main plot will involve. There seems to be a budding yuri relationship already. The characters are written quite well and have distinct personalities and ways of speaking. The prose reads well also, although I would say the first chapter is a bit more stilted, but it's par for the course for webnovels to have this issue. Overall I would definitely recommend giving this one a read, especially if you like meguca and/or yuri stuff.
