The manga tells the story of Mira, who leads an evil organization trying to take over and destroy everything. Earth is under attack, but a magical girl named Byakuya Mimori stands up to Mira’s group. As they face off, something unexpected happens—Mira falls in love with Mimori.
The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies anime adaptation carries a poignant undertone, considering that the mangaka had an untimely death and could not finish the manga. Though the story’s conclusion remains uncertain, a comprehensive adaptation is likely in the making, and fans seem to be betting on it.
