She s a magical girl sworn to fight for peace love and justice He s a lieutenant born into a military family that serves an evil empire And yet it was love at first sight From Inu x Boku SS creator Cocoa Fujiwara comes a four panel comic about hostile enemies who won t kill and love each other The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be ArchenemiesThis was a lot like Mr Villain s Day Off in idea and form Evil non humans rule the earth opposed by special humans magical girls that are appointed by angels Chapters consist of page long strips of the two main characters interacting the evil character being rendered helpless by the cuteness of his opponent It s not quite as cute as Mr Villain but it s a bit naughtier. Mira a cold hearted lieutenant of the Evil King is tasked with capturing Byakuya a magical girl Glass Happiness She s clueless about the world and a bit simple so she s exploited by her angel they re not nice creatures and made to have several part time jobs of which being magical girl is just one She s also a hostess not that she understands what that means. Mira is totally smitten with her and spends his days making sure she s well fed and defending her against her angel Other evil lieutenants are starting to suspect he s not truly trying to capture her and intervene a couple of times only for him to save her again. The chapters aren t long and they re chopped to page long strips There isn t really much development in their relationship and she s as clueless of his feelings at the end as she was at the beginning The volume is long and the chapters get a tad monotonous but other characters and situations are introduced every now and then so it doesn t get boring But even though it s long the story doesn t get any conclusion and just ends I hoped there would be but the author passed away almost a decade ago so I presume this volume is the entire collection of these strips. I received a free copy from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review 408 Honestly extremely entertaining I loved both main characters although of course the FMC was very infantile and helpless There were some problematic elements she s 15 and he s a grown man but when aren t there in manga Byukuya was very sexualized and every now and then there d be some dialogue edging close to victim slut shaming but it wasn t a crazy amount Super funny and ridiculous Until I looked up her author page halfway through the manga I had no idea the author had passed and at only 32 I hope the other books in this series will be translated to English because I would love to read 408 Empec por el anim que est ahora en emisi n y me re enganch Me fui al manga que por cierto est muy bien adaptada su versi n en anim y ya me lo termin Es una pena que haya quedado inconclusa por el fallecimiento de la autora su obra me result divertida de ver y leer Mi nica cr tica es que de a momentos tiene roces con lo rancio y la chica m gica no es mayor de edad en el manga pero entend en el anim que s lo es Al menos en el manga dice que es menor porque no puede tomar alcohol y no nombra el ir al colegio como parte del relato de su d a pero usa la ropa de gimnasia y nombra el uniforme en otra ocasi n Quisiera creer que al menos tiene entre 17 y 18.
