Customer Reviews

Magical Girl Raising Project is better than it's given credit for.

Is Magical Girl Raising Project the best work of magical girl fiction out there? God no. But it *is* an interesting character drama. The anime adaptation used some of the side-stories from the sequel novels to flesh out the characters, so some of them may seem to have less going on in comparison to their animated counterparts. However, in the novels you are more readily able to follow that internal struggles and motivations that drive their choices and actions that leads (most of) them to their tragic ends. Also, the following arc in Volumes 2 and 3 is genuinely a very, very good story, so if nothing else, read this to understand the context, and then read the Restart arc. Or just watch the anime and skip to Restart.
