    Not Your Typical Magical Girl Show

    Mira, the strategist and lieutenant in the Evil Organization, falls in love at first sight with Byakuya, a magical girl. They begin meeting each day for sweets and tea. His co-workers think he's struggling with work responsibilities as he works to keep her safe. This show with only 12-minute episodes, is more complex than it first appears. Their awkwardness is endearing. Byakuya's familiar is a cat (most of the time) who can only be called her pimp. He recruited her, designed her revealing uniform (which she is suggestively, but not graphically nude while changing), sexually harasses her daily, and is the centerpiece of the sexualized imagery. He also smokes, drinks and cusses in extremes. Additionally, Mira's thoughts about how he enjoys seeing Byakuya tied up. ~AnimeGuide4Moms.

    The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies

    This anime series is centred on Mira and Byakuya Mimor. He is the trusted lieutenant to the leader of an evil organisation which is trying to conquer the world; she is a magical girl whose job is to thwart the organisation's plans. When they meet he falls in love with her and they become friends... will they be able to hide their friendship from their respective superiors?

    I thought this was a fun little series. The fact that each episode is only twelve minutes long means they never outstay their welcome and drag like some shows do. The central characters are likeable and the story is fun. The story is sweet and delivers a decent number of laughs. Character designs and animation are of a good quality. Overall I thought this was rather fun and would definitely recommend it to anime fans.

    These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

    Short and sweet romance

    This anime will fill you with warmth while enjoying some cheap laughs. I would have loved to seen more than 12 episodes that are only 12 minutes but sadly the author passed and left us wanting more. It really is worth watching if you are in to sweet romances.

    The Evil Organization-They invade and destroy anything and everything. The lieutenant is merciless and cunning. He's the brains behind the organization and right-hand man to the king. Byakuya, a jinxed magical girl is the one in charge of standing up to the earth invasion. Mira, the evil lieutenant, is supposed to face off against the girl and unexpectedly falls in love at first sight... This is the story of the magical girl and the evil lieutenant who used to be enemies.
