Popularity Above All: Does Being That Pure Really Count as Being a Magical Girl?

I kind of understand why the subject matter and even the writing style are good but the results are not good. The author thinks about his protagonist's identity being exposed every day. The key is that it's okay if it's exposed. It's always exposed but nothing happens in the end.

Fun fact: The proportion of female magical girls in Pineapple Buns is already higher than in Qidian.

The plot in the first thirty or forty pictures is okay, but every few pictures in the back are crazy hints and crazy preparations for the protagonist's identity to be revealed. Originally, this kind of initialization of identity exposure is a little poisonous point. It depends on how it is exposed. If it is handled well, the partners will get to know each other and the bond will increase.

Gender swapping and multiple identities are both acceptable, but this story is stuck in the middle, neither quite gender swapping nor multiple identities. The appeal of gender swapping is the male transforming into a female and interacting from a female perspective. The climax of multiple identities is the revelation of the male identity and the shock to others.

Completely transforming into a woman? That seems unlikely; otherwise, why would one have a male body?

I watched it all in one go, and it was really good. The first anime I watched that followed this formula was the one with the villain being popular, the second was the one with the protagonist named Thousand Faces, and this is the third one. Aside from the usual witty banter, this book's battle details are slightly more nuanced than the other two, which is quite enjoyable.

It doesn't feel like a magical girl story. The main character smoking and drinking negatively impacts the viewing experience. There are quite a few magical young women and middle-aged women, and conflicts between magical nobles and commoners.

Why are the magical girls who become main characters always little girls or short girls? I want to see older sister types! 😭
