Ayyy, a magical girl vn!!
We have had magical girl stories with helpful and cute familiars/mascots, we have had magical girl stories with sinister and evil familiars/mascots. But this is the first time I see a story that not only features a familiar that's lowkey kinda both, but also even told from their perspective. I really like the use of second person POV here. There is something really warm yet bittersweet in watching Hope slowly grow attached to Rose, yet not really being able to do too much to go against her own programming and knowing full well where her fate as a magical girl is going to lead her.
Really appreciate the extra section with all the concepts, it's cool to take a peak at behind the scenes. There are more magical girl designs - was there supposed to/going to be more to this story? (Also, big fan of Hope's and Rose's designs especially)
