About the series
From 2021 onward, Meian has published Looking up to Magical Girls, a darkly comedic manga series that twists the magical girl genre into a tale of reluctant villainy. The story follows a girl who, after being chosen to fight evil, discovers her powers are actually meant for the side of darkness. Best known for its subversive humor and genre-savvy writing, the series has gained a cult following for its playful yet brutal deconstruction of classic magical girl tropes. With only four issues to date, it remains a sharp, ongoing commentary on heroism and identity.
