![]() ![]() ![]() Said sticks also happen to eat away at their user's life span until they eventually use it up and die. The Admins purposely seek out girls who are already traumatized and mentally disturbed, give them a magical stick, and tell them to basically go crazy and let out their anger over their misfortune through violence. The whole Mahou Shoujo system in this series is so dark, disturbing, and utterly exploitative that it makes the systems of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Magical Girl Raising Project seem tame by comparison.As Aya herself says a few chapters in, the Magical Girls were given their powers because they were so unfortunate, but they didn't get them because the Admins wanted to better their lives or make them happier. They act as if the girls are objects that they can use and they will murder the girls who won't play their sick game without a second thought. The Admins' attitude towards the girls they make into Mahou Shoujo's is rather disturbing, as well.When you take into the fact that the Admins seek out broken, desperate girls to manipulate into starting an apocalypse, how they can find the girls that they make into Mahou Shoujos, and the fact that the Mahou Shoujo Site isn't an existing website unless you have a stick, it begs the very disturbing question of what exactly the Admins really are. They are real and very much able to appear in the physical world. Over the next few chapters, however, it becomes quite clear that the Site Admins aren't just virtual avatars. What makes it even creepier is that, at the beginning of the manga, Yatsumura talks about how she has been unable to find the "real site admins" or trace the origin of the Site, implying that there is an actual human being behind the Site.Even the Incubators weren't this frightening. They have monster strength and abilities, and settle pretty well on the Uncanny Valley with their unnerving, unmoving faces and the deliberate art difference between them and everyone else in the world- they look more like the kind of thing you'd find in a Yume Nikki fangame than a magical girl series. ![]()
