J-Novel Club licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
Hi, I'm Hiiragi Utena. I'm a normal magical-girl-loving middle school girl—or at least I was, but then some talking mascot showed up out of the blue and cast a spell on me! Now's my chance to join my beloved magical girls as...a villain? Hang on, something's wrong with my outfit! This can't be happening!Watch this shy magical-girl fan transform into a sadistic dominatrix! When good and evil collide, who will be the one to submit?!
Ononaka launched the manga in 2019 in Takeshobo's Manga Life Storia magazine. After the magazine ceased publication, the manga moved to the magazine's Storia Dash website.
