The opening chapter ends on a massacre, so it’s pretty much established from the get-go that it’s not going the traditional route. I do like how they set it up to look like it’d be the combo-heavy precure type magical girls series about learning to become a team before swerving.

I feel like the jump from “the magical girls are explicitly child soldiers under a glittering kayfabe of idol/pop culture” to “Mao’s ‘great leap forward’ killed and tortured millions of real people, including patriotic teenage girls, and this applies to the worldbuilding of an online magical girl comic” is a bit… of an escalation  Anyway, I’m pretty sure this worldbuilding is drawing a lot from series like Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers where magical girls are straight up an anti-terrorism squad with bonus PTSD, just like the magical girls always seemed very Precure to me with the matching thematic teams (cure sunshine/moonlight etc), plus I always thought Heartful Punch’s design drew costume and fighting style inspiration direct from Pretty Cure Max Heart.
