As much as I got a laugh out of the evil officer stud san trying to contain his love for magical girl (she's so cute omg, btw I'm not a lollicon, I'm basically admiring the art), it is so heartbreaking to hear that the author passed away at age 31.



RIP Cocoa Fujiwara🌹

Cute, quick, & funny

[Dominique "Eerie" Sobieska · Rating 4 out of 5]

Comical acts between two "mortal enemies" with a Man from the Evil Empire courting Magical Girl. It is adorable, simple where every act/ chapter reflects a different day. Magical Girl is just your typical cute chibi girl, innocent, looks younger than she appears (12ish but is a post high school graduate) that just pulls those around her to love her sweet nature. Evil Officer starts the series explaining on how he is part of an Evil Empire but he has fallen for his mortal enemy with many segments starting with him buying sweets or trying to interact with her in ways he is inexperienced in. But he is good natured and cares for her more than he would like others to know and learns that this is something he can no longer escapes.

Unfortunately, the author passed away leaving this series unfinished.

Do I recommend it:

Yes, just imagine your own ending after reading all 3 volumes :)
** Plus the author stayed true to the Japanese nature of slime and tentacles coming into contact with a female :P

When the right hand of the evil king meets with magical girl. And when he fell in love with her at first sight.

I'm so weak for the trope "enemies to lovers"

I'd like it if it were more serious and wasn't just a bunch of 4 panel koma comics.

Няма никаква логика тука, никакво действие, никаква драма, нищо. Един гол хубав арт и толкова.
