Underling-chan mentions Floria Rose stealing/taking her "compact" Is that what the brooches are called? Does that mean that the underling is a Former Magical Girl? :o ...or maybe its just a villian artifact for the organization, but one can dream.

yes sorry this is also somewhat unexplained as just the reader assuming they know the trope
it's basically things like these that serve as the transformation item (smile pact from smile precure):

compact is from makeup compacts like this

but it doesn't actually have to look or be anything like one, it's just the word that's used now

for this story it would indeed be the brooches that all magical girls seem to have, it's unclear if underling-chan is talking about the one hane uses originally being hers or if they're taking it away to not let her use magic or something of the sort

The problem is the charm is the only solid evidence we have, and it points to Juna being the magical girl. Not only she has the charm, but in chapter 26 the charm responded to her feelings and started glowing:

Yeah, if the author plans her to not be despite the only evidence pointing to her, the author would probably have made a chapter explicitly reminding us that that isn't enough evidence... oh wait

honestly it could go both ways. the author clearly has a defined plotline in their mind, and this could easily just be another red herring

Do they? at this point I'm not convinced lol

I mean, there are numerous details throughout the 29 chapters that we've gotten that all line up the moment you put them into chronological order, even to the point of some bits seeming like mistakes only to be revealed as indicators of where we are in said timeline.

The fact it all ends up being actually coherent the moment you re-order the chapters accordingly—especially clear now that the translator put together that timeline at the end of that earlier chapter—seems to indicate to me that the author's got more than an outline of the plot and is just doing things non-sequentially.
But even then, authors use flashbacks to explain and re-contextualize things all the time in illustrated comics; yes, it's happening sooner here than is often the case, and it's very much relying on visual cues and details rather than just spelling it all out for the reader, but I don't think that's evidence that the author doesn't have a plan.

This broke her poor brain... :D

Really sympathizing with the author's note in this one on how the story/character changed whoops and nobody to blame but yourself

More importantly, we now know that all the female members of the evil organization are former magical girls. So Junna was a magical girl. That much is confirmed.

What? ALL female members? I thought it was just the ntr guy servants

I wonder if Junna would care about underling-chan at all

Think about it. All the girls working for the evil organisation are former magical girls captured by their evil lord. This was confirmed in chapters 27-28. This means Junna was a magical girl. That much is confirmed. Junna was a magical girl.

So that's evidence number one: Junna was a magical girl in the past.

In the past, Hane gave a magical girl a charm, and now in the present time Junna has the charm.

So that's evidence number two: Junna has Hane's charm.

We also know that Junna doesn't remember her past. She claims NOT to be the magical girl who saved Hane, but she actually doesn't remember that. In fact, if Junna wanted to prove she's not the magical girl that saved Hane, she could easily do so by explaining how she got the charm. But she didn't, because she doesn't remember.

So that's evidence number three: Junna doesn't remember her past so any claims about her past coming from her POV is unreliable.

Finally, for some reason, we see in chapter 27 that the charm responds to Junna's feelings.

So that's evidence number four: Hane's charm responds to Junna's feelings.

On the other hand, we have no actual evidence suggesting that Junna is NOT the magical girl who saved Hane as far as I can see. Hane's friends doubting that Junna is the magical girl doesn't constitute actual evidence.

The NTR guy said their evil lord has been capturing magical girls for a long time. NTR guy's servants are just a few or them he managed to "save" from their lord.

Also, even underling-chan just revealed she had a compact, which is the brooch that magical girls use to transform. So as of right now, all the girls from the evil organization that we know of are former magical girls.

Many thanks for the timeline recap (and the awesome translation) Rudy Tudy, I was getting confused.
This is a mess but I love Hane dramatically running in the dark on the Utena flowers.

It's like someone is just feeding magical girls to the dark lord

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming. Feel like there was maybe a better way to do that..?

They're literally ONE step away from doing puppygirl roleplay.
