This is the type of book I want more of. I want it to go deeper, I want it to last longer, I just want more.

A Magical Girl Retires was so fun. It took the concept of a magical girl and made it modern yet kept some of that whimsical fun I remember from actually watching magical girl anime.

It took me a little while to get into the story, mostly because it was so fast. Instead of that speed, I wanted to know more, to sink into the world and place myself within it.

I ultimately couldn’t do that and now I can only hope another story like it finds its way to me.
