Dumb chats, silly spats, and the absurdity of adolescence.
MyAnimeList hired me as a feature writer, and I promptly used my new power to write an essay-length article about magical boys. 13-Year-Old Me is giving Present-Day Me so many high-fives right now.

Congrats! :)
I dropped this show in its first season because I didn’t have the time and, despite its amazing sense of humour, I wasn’t sure where it was going… But now it looks like I have a good excuse to revisit it.

Great article, I agreed with all of it. I came to the show for Magical Boys but stayed for the humor and the way more true-to-life depiction of high school than we get in the majority of Anime that wax and bank on nostalgic feelings that always come off manufactured to me.

It is refreshing, isn’t it? I came into the article with the central concept “Boueibu is doing a very good job of humorously depicting high school life,” but the whole “Boueibu is mocking anime’s romanticization of high school” angle was one of those things I only realized as I was writing the article. One of the fun things about writing these pieces are the things you discover along the way~
