Mahou Shoujo Nante Mouiidesukara (魔法少女なんてもういいですから。 Mahō Shōjo Nante Mō Ii Desu Kara.?, lit. I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl) is a Japanese manga series written by Sui Futami. An anime adaptation aired from January to March 2016.

Setting and Plot

The story is set in a world where magical girls are not necessary any more, yet girls with the aptitude of magical girls still exist in small number. Yuzuka Hanami, the protagonist, meets a magical creature Miton, and was turned into a magical girl, and starts a “magical” life without battles or other magical girl quests.

Characters

Yuzuka Hanami (ゆずか Yuzuka?)
Voiced by: Akane Fujita[2]

Protagonist. A girl who becomes magical girl after meeting Miton. After she transforms, she was fit in the swimsuit, much to her chagrin and embarrassment. She allows Miton to accompany her but repulses his attempt for intimate interactions. She is serious in studying and good at cooking, unlike many magical girls that Miton knew before.

Miton (ミトン?)
Voiced by: Yūki Wakai[2]

The magical creature that turns Yuzuka into a magical girl after meeting her. His appearance (to Yuzuka and other girls with the aptitude of magical girls) features a white spherical body with two long wings and a bird-like tail; he is supposed to be invisible and inaudible to the normal people, but he is able to show himself to them at will. Yuzuka and Chiya always keep distance from him, despite of his pursuits for intimate relationship with the girls. His taste is close to that of human, and he has a strong desire for delicious foods.

Chiya Sakagami (ちや Chiya?)
Voiced by: Nichika Omori[2]

Yuzuka’s friend who deems Yuzaka as “most important friend” and truly cares about her; for example, she is on guard against Miton for the good of Yuzuka. She is usually emotionless and speaks in mono-tone voice. She can see and hear Miton, and has the aptitude of a magical girl; however, the limitation in Miton’s capacity prevents her from really becoming one. She is fascinated by Yuzaka’s status and figure as magical girl.

Daiya (だいや?)
Voiced by: Minami Tanaka[2]

An anime-original character. She is Yuzuka’s acquaintance, and later gets acquainted by Chiya. She is a cute girl, much younger than Yuzaka and Chiya, and behaves very politely and considerately so that she even affects the usually emotionless Chiya. She seems to be able to see and feel Miton.

Mafuyu Shinoki (真冬 Mafuyu ?)
Voiced by: Miku Itō[2]

Another magical girl who is met by Yuzuka and Chiya, and then befriends them. She is one grade higher in school than Yuzuka and Chiya. After she transforms, she is fit into Santa Claus suit.

Pochi (ポチ?)
Voiced by: Asuka Nishi[2]

A magical creature with the form of a flying penguin. He accompanies Mafuyu.

Yuzuka’s father (ゆずかの父?)
Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe

Yuzuka’s father is a salary-man who is away from home for most of time due to his job. He cares about his daughter.

Miyoko (みよこ?)
Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō

Yuzuka’s mother. She accidentally witnesses Yuzuka's transformation, and grows special interests in the magical girl status of her daughter.

Critical reception

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the series a B- rating. In her review, Silverman found the plot too short and meandering, and found the pastel animation a bit of an overreliance, but gave praise to the humor taking shots at the magical girl genre and the light-hearted tone for giving off an approachable vibe, saying that "If you just need a way to spend a cute and fun hour, Mahō Shōjo Nante Mō Ii Desu Kara. is a safe bet"[11]
