Thoughts and reviews on the final episode of Märchen Mädchen: Where is the magical girl story headed?

The girls chosen by the Book, known as "Madehen," study at magic schools around the world with the goal of becoming top-class "Book users."

Their goal is to win the annual magic battle tournament "Hexennacht," where representatives from each school compete against each other to prove their skills. The winner is said to be given a magic spell that will grant them one wish.

One day, when the Japanese school's leader, Shizuka Tsuchimikado, was in danger of being suspended due to a lack of members, a high school girl who loved reading and daydreaming, named Hazuki Kagimura, appeared before him.

Hazuki, who doesn't have many friends and tends to be lonely, is somehow chosen by the powerful original book of "Cinderella" and ends up enrolling in a magic school...

The magical girls' battle against "Cinderella" for the championship begins now, with the girls training together and even taking a dip in the hot springs!

"Just for you,
A story."

The story makes the girls' wishes come true.
The original texts of stories scattered around the world.

The girls encounter the "original book" (= fairy tale),
Once chosen, they receive magic and eventually become "Original Text Users."

This is a story about girls who are "apprentice original text users" (Medchen) aiming to become "original text users" themselves.
Weaving your own story together with the original text

A story of dreams, magic and youth-
