Tadahiro's cursed eye makes him a walking target, but the show never wastes time on angst, it's too busy building actual relationships between five girls who are learning to fight demons together, not pose while doing it. The romance lives in the chemistry between them, the way the comedy lands because nobody's being humiliated for a laugh. This is what a magical girl show becomes when it trusts that watching competent people care about each other is enough.
Tadahiro Amatsu has had two different-colored eyes since he was a child, one brown and one light hazel. A dark secret connected to his left eye has made him a target for Ayatara Miramune, a masked sorcerer who leads a band of demons. With demons turning up all over town, Yuzu Hieda, a priestess in training, brings four other girls from her high school into the fight. The five spend months training to master their abilities under the supervision of Yuzu's older sister Kurako. The series is a short-format fantasy that mixes action, comedy and drama.
