If I had a nickel for every character named Lemon who has an alter ego with an extremely different personality.

Also, I really want to see Sou's magical girl form

Bisect is a word that doesn't see a lot of use, but it's always quietly powerful when it shows up.

Looking back, the cut shown here is different from the one that we see after the "main adventure". Probably, since the attack barely did any damage, Junna healed from it rather quickly. In comparison, the scar in the present time looks very deep and was able to knock her down to the floor unconscious.

If we were to look at this as a Precure-like show, the beginning of the story was Hana trying to make a hundred friends (and being short) as she starts her magical girl career. Early on, Junna, as a rather important and active evil general, discovers at least Hana's alter ego and plotting elaborate scenarios to combat the magical girls. Hana and Junna's civilian identities grow closer over the course of a year, Hana hits her growth spurt and becomes a more competent person as her character arc. This leads to a final showdown where Junna is struck down by Hana, leaving Junna with that massive scar (some probable massive drama there). The present timeline is essentially the epilogue or OVAs after the main conflict has been resolved, the Floria Knights and Junna know of each other's identities, and everyone more-or-less keeps their powers.

Big reveal...oh sorry, uh...I was looking at the scar, I swear!

Can't wait for the next one.

These comics make me wish there was a full series with these characters. I love Junna and Hana's dynamic so much. Enemies to lovers in record time, with intense mutual angst and trauma, in a cutesy magical girl wrapping...

No, thank you. I was trying to figure out how to put a button on this joke for far longer than anyone reasonably should

They're getting to the serious shoujou part.

Though with the art this gorgeous and that kind of premise won't this get picked up sooner or later?

Oh wowowowowow
Junna was a former Magical Girl!
Does this mean there's a "fall to despair" system in the magical girl contract or was it willing? If willing why did she become an evil general? Does being a magical girl age you up?
Love that Hana has a lot of internalised hatred about hurting Junna, that'll make a confession a very smooth affair and not backfire at all...

Junna is older then? Being a magical girl makes you no age?

I don't think there's any aging up happening. Her slanted eyes make her look older but Junna got the same, almost round, mochi-like face shape Hana has so it seems consistent.
And we already knew Junna is a year older , so her being an "older magical girl" qualifies. Might sound weird to say for just one year of difference but Japan is particular about seniority so it makes sense.

Magical Girl Junna looks the same age Hana has now, Hana has a lot of change in her face/body depending which age she has but Junna looks the same, in fact I think her Evil form look more adult than her defeated actual form. The mochi-face is not really useful because even now they have that shape (the manga is Big Moe also)

To be fair, Hana also got a massive growth spurt in one year of being a magical girl. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of magic mumbo jumbo that messes with their age/physical appearance but to me Junna from a few years ago is at least 4-5 years older than Hana.

But damn, gloves and turtleneck even when she's sleeping. I wonder what she's hiding under all that. I feel like Hana has a lot of self-loathing, I hope she's not doing some self-flagellation kind of thing on top of whatever injuries she got as a magical girl.

Hmm... Damn. Angst for real. Also maybe its not Junna who was the magical girl for someone dear to her like a sister? Perhaps the sister was betrayed or died in duty and that's why Junna became Evil? Or it might really that magical girl transformation is aged-up.... THE LORE IS AWESOME. WHO SAID THIS WAS JUST MADOKA HOMURA? THIS IS GREAT. I hope this becomes an actual manga series!

someone who's not been paying attention to the lore at all and is more just skimming over the prettily drawn pages (me): woah anyone else getting madohomu vibes from this chapter?

So Hana and Lemon's magical transformation doesn't really change their hair color though it does change their eye color. I'd assume the transformation works similarly for Sou. However young magical girl Junna has a very different hair color than current day Junna. Assuming that Junna was the same type of magical girl as the rest of them, is Junna's hair now dyed?

Also omg the angst, be still my heart~

The metaphorical underpinning of traditional magical girl series is the transformation from child to adult - becoming prettier, more powerful, with more agency and the ability to determine your destiny and impact the larger world around you. It’s a core appeal of the fantasy to the target audience’s age group. So, yes, a lot of times the girls’ transformed state makes them visibly more adult than their regular identity.

This chapter does raise a lot of interesting questions, as you point out. Was Junna corrupted against her will (an approach I don’t really like)? Did something happen to make her become disillusioned with (or actively oppose) the magical girl faction? Was the process of her revival/reincarnation responsible for putting her in a physical body the same age as her magical girl years, or was her “evil” transformation responsible for aging her up to adulthood? Either way, yes, she appears to be consistently the same age (aside from her defeated state) while Hana seems to progress from maybe 6 or 7 to 13/14 to now 16 or 17.

Now that was a nice if painful twist. And certainly a classic, seeing how we've seen a magical girl turn evil referenced even in Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru.

I'm wondering if part of Junna's magical girl powers specifically made her look slightly older than she is, in combination with being naturally precocious

Since we don't see blood on the ground or sword in the previous chapter and the future scar is depicted as covered in roses this might imply that Hana's sword causes roses to grow from her opponents bodies. That'd be an unexpected but interesting piece of body horror and I think I'd prefer that over her simply cutting her enemies.

What if Junna defeated the older magical girl and took the charm and Hana's shock comes from realizing she wasn't able to protect that older magical girl?
