I would like to start out by saying how rare it is to find an original anime made by J.C. Staff, especially nowadays. Surprisingly well handled, this series from 2005 is a quite a gem. A mix of magical girl, romantic drama, it really does harken back to the series the inspired the magical girl genre, 'Bewtiched'. The three leads are very well developed and really drive the plot and reason to watch. You have the leading magical girl, a young woman who acts as a manager for the setting, which was created using magic, a recently graduated high schooler who is entering the adult world andis feeling aloofed by it, and you have the young magical girl who is to succeed the current manager. They all have their problems that playoff one another, but the best part is how they all develop by the end. This is a very character-focused series that does not disappoint in that area, and the supporting cast does an amazing job in helping them in their journey. No one in this feels wasted.

Worst parts:

Episode 2 is the worst episode. It has a lot of quick cutting jumping way too fast for a series of this kind. It does have good chemistry with all three leads on screen, but it's way too rapid fire.

The music score isn't anything worth mentioning. The biggest detractor being the piece it uses for battles. That harmonica(?) really pulls you out of the action.

Fan service: The first episode does have some moment, but it's mainly to tease the main character. The transformation sequence does have it, but it's very passing and only happens in really half the series.

Overall, this series carries through with its premise and ideas of entrusting and moving forward.
