So why has she interviewed at over 15 companies without receiving a single offer? She's trying to keep a positive attitude, but it seems like her bad luck is only getting worse when a monster crashes her latest interview. As havoc ensues, she finds herself helping the magical girl who comes to their rescue and ends up with more than just her life in return. Meet the newest magical girl at Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc.!

Writer Iwata and artist Aoki launched the manga on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ service in October 2021, and ended the manga in its 160th chapter on July 9. The 18th and final volume shipped on September 4.
