Magical Girl Site, Vol. 1 by Kentaro Sato
2.0
An interesting premise that feels cheapened by the shlocky gore. The main character essentially goes through torture porn throughout the entire series - and when I say "porn" I really do mean it. The illustrations feel disturbingly sexual for what are genuinely traumatic and horrifying situations for anyone to go through, much less a high school girl.
I'm reading through the rest of the series to see if this improves but I'm already at the halfway point and it doesn't seem so. Which is a shame because the worldbuilding and concept of a "magical girl site" and a bunch of magical girls effectively brutally murdering each other could be very interesting. I just wish that the characters were either aged up or less sexualized.
