Sometimes heroes emerge from the most unlikely places...
Haruko Tanaka isn't someone you'd expect to be magical-she's a geeky, manga-loving game-designer living under the roof of The Regime's finest contraband burners. When The Commander appears under her roof claiming she can be part of a program to turn her into a magical girl, she jumps at the chance to be like her fictional heroes!
But reality is often different from fiction and elitist rebels, eccentric classmates, and after school activities are not what Haruko signed up for! With the help of her friends, Haruko must tackle her school life, find her place, and discover the truth of the puppet master behind their world.
Haruko and her friends must step up and face their worst fears to make The Regime a better place or watch the seeds of disaster begin to grow.
