## Premise

In a world where frequent occurrences of dangerous creatures known as "Kaii" have become the norm, society has undergone adaptation. These Kaii incidents are now managed by corporations employing Magical Girls – professional women equipped with advanced brooms for flying and wielding spells derived from cutting-edge software accessible via wands. With the surge in Kaii incidents, the number of magical girl companies has also risen, turning the role of a "magical girl" into a highly coveted profession.

Kana Sakuragi, a recent college graduate known for her exceptional memory, has been struggling in her job search. During an interview, she gets embroiled in a Kaii incident and encounters Hitomi Koshigaya, a passionate Magical Girl dispatched to handle the situation. Witnessing Kana's remarkable proficiency in operating the software integral to being a Magical Girl, she is promptly recruited to join Hitomi in a fledgling Magical Girl venture, Magilumiere. Despite the company's peculiarities, including a jittery engineer and a company president enthusiastic about cross-dressing Magical Girls, Kana finds herself intrigued and left with no better options, leading her to join the company as a rookie Magical Girl.

## About

Magilumiere Co. Ltd. is a piece that combines elements of fantasy, such as magical girls, with the realistic aspect of business, which contrasts with the concept of magical girls. The freshness of this combination of these two elements is appreciated. Additionally, it is praised for its excellent portrayal of the connection between the desire for transformation found in magical girl stories and self-realization through business and work. Moreover, the characters, particularly the protagonist Sakura Kana, who initially lacks confidence but discovers her talent and grows through battles, are depicted as highly appealing. It is also recognized as a quintessential work within the Shonen Jump genre.
