Okay so the basic story is follows our main charter Ayu Tateishi (the popular and cool student known for her "mature" laid back attitude). Our story really starts with the introduction of Nina-who turns out can use magic and is from a magical kingdom in some other dimension (or something like that)! Ayu ends up finding out when she stumbles into Nina when she is trying to find her "magic computer"....(although Ayu ironically didn't believe in magic in the beginning)
Ayu and Nina become friends and they go though some wacky adventures together. Nina basically becomes Ayu "fairy godmother" although Nina's spells do not always go as planned.
Story:
The story is creative and interesting in my opinion, it's the only story I know that actually has a backstory for the whole magical society. Along with explain why some magical people are doing in the "ordinary human world". It knows what it wants to be as a story and it does those elements wells- although this story has a habit of dropping storylines on a dime without any warning or reason (which is one of the things holding it back and the reasons that it gets a 7 in book). I mean one of the story lines that bugged me was the whole "Yuta Kirishima(Ninas former classmate from magical school) liking Nina". When he comes into the story he basically followed Nina from the magical dimension because he missed her- even though he would never admit it. They had know each other for years and when he is called out for liking Nina by Ayu he admits he does like Nina......then that story line is dropped. Like nothing else is really said about it. Yuta never confessed any feelings for Nina and Ayu never tells (which I think could have been an interesting side story for charter development). He even just goes out with this other magical girl whos a model Sayaka Nakamura. (Even though they had been basically been using each other and had showed no attraction to eachother). Also Yuta had followed Nina from a different dimension! You cannot expect me to believe he would just give up on Nina! That whole thing just bugged me.

Art:
It's okay the art style is kinda dated and cutesy. There isn't a lot of action scenes- and a personally think the art style is cute. To be honest some of the charters look the same (like the boys seem to have the same look to them with nothing to tell them apart besides a slightly different hair style).
There's nothing really dramatic or revolutionary about the drawing style.

Charter
Okay to the 2 main characters are Nina and Ayu (so ill just be doing these 2). Although there are more charters.
Nina- is the magical girl from another dimension. She is kind, sweet, innocent, and a little but clumsy. She can also be a bit dense sometimes. She was sent to earth after failing out of magical school- since earth is where all the "fluckys and drop-outs" go. I personally loved her charters as she some particular quirks that made her an overall fun charter.
Ayu- is the "cool and mature" (Not really) popular sports girl in school. Her and Ayu becomes friends. She plays off of Nina's quirks brilliantly in my opinion. Although when it comes to her crush,Tetsushi Kaji , she can be just as airheaded as Nina. Although she is always trying to play it cool she often looses it when it comes to Nina's high-jinx.
Of course there are more charters like Nina's friend Yuta, Ayu's crush Kaji- just to name a few.

It's basically a very light and fluffy novel- although there is nothing wrong with that. Not as intense as like "Harry Potter" wizards and magic but I personally think it's a good read for anyone just wanting some light reading for fun. It didn't do anything revolutionary but it wasn't bad either- I personally enjoyed it.
