Magical Midlifer

Magical girls. They’re the guardians of the people, vanquishers of witches, and defenders of the innocent—all while putting on flashy spectacles of mass-marketable entertainment. However, things aren’t always so family friendly behind the scenes! When the villains get too gruesome for Saturday morning TV, the youthful protectors are protected in turn by…middle-aged men? They might be a bunch of old farts, but these grizzled geezers have one job: using their wealth of experience (and some kick-ass magic) to support the mystical maidens from the shadows!

Tanaka’s no stranger to a long day on the job. After all, pulling overtime and suffering from muscle pains for the greater good comes part and parcel with being a magical midlifer. But with a new hire to train, whispers of the Death Witch resurfacing, and the president of Japan’s biggest countermagic corporation on his tail, this old man’s certainly got his work cut out for him!
