For many girls in N-City, immersing themselves in the RPG Magical Girl Raising Project feels like the closest they can get to becoming a magical girl. Yet for a handful of players, that fantasy turns into fact. One such player is Koyuki Himekawa, who one evening receives a message announcing her selection as a magical girl, with the in‑game persona of Snow White.
When Koyuki and other chosen participants start aiding those who need help, they receive another alert: the administrators plan to cut back on the number of magical girls and the change ripples. Each week, those who earn the fewest Magical Candies—rewards for their heroic deeds—will have their powers revoked, and stakes rise.
When the first player to lose her abilities suffers a real‑world tragedy, everyone witnesses the consequences of losing their powers and the horror of loss is stark. As more contestants are eliminated and increasingly cruel rules surface, the girls quickly understand that their "competition" is actually a fight for survival and the game becomes a brutal fight.
