## Game Story

In her own words, the characters of the show helped her feel like she could be confident in her own self, and she credits the Magic◆Works anime as her reason for becoming a seiyuu.

In part 13 of Blossoming actor, Shiho tells the rest of Flower that a new anime for Magic◆Works has been announced and is holding auditions for seiyuu. At her suggestion, the four of them pursue the audition.

In part 27 of Blossoming actor, Flower learns that all four of them passed their auditions and have been cast in the upcoming anime. They go for the recording in part 32. The anime marks the career debut for all four members.

“As monster attacks are becoming more and more frequent, magical girls have emerged as the only way to combat the threatーーwith every corner of the country now relying on magical girls to keep the peace.”

## Characters

### Oosaki Akane (大崎あかね)

Original CV: Mutsuishi Haruna

An ordinary high school girl from an ordinary high school. She’s something of a child at heart, and she loves stories of girls that transform into magical heroes and save the day. When monsters attack her town, she immediately runs to rescue children in danger and help people get to safety, without hesitation. That is when Mizuna sees her, and scouts her as a member of the Magical Girl Association.

### Kyodo Mizuna (経堂みずな)

Original CV: Takatori Maika

A member of the Magical Girl Association, who sent her to Akane’s town from a different city. She transfers to Akane’s class. After graduation, she intends to accept the Association’s offer to join them full-time as, essentially, a professional magical girl.

### Mama Fuuka (真間ふうか)

Original CV: Kano Shiho

A manager for part-time workers under the Magical Girl Association. An artifact made to store magical fuel, created and administered by the Association. There is always one deployed to each city, serving as a fuel source for the magical girls in the area.

### Kurokawa Kotori (黒川ことり)

Original CV: Tsukii Honoka

A veteran magical girl from Madou City. She attends the same school as Akane and Mizuna, and is one year their senior. She’s not poor per se, but she exterminates monsters to earn the reward money. She has no interest in keeping the peace or in the goals of the Association. In fact, she almost prefers that monsters come and disturb the peace, so that she has targets to pursue. Because she’s in it for the money, she wants to kill the monsters herself and has no interest in teamwork. Her priorities are skewed, but there’s no doubting her abilities.
