A magical girl and her sworn enemy fall in love, and the show spends twelve episodes finding the comedy in that impossibility instead of pretending it's tragic. The chemistry between them is so effortless that every conversation feels like two people who've already decided to be together, just waiting for the other to catch up. Mira's quiet acceptance that he's completely done for the moment he sees her hits different when he's supposed to be destroying the world. The show never wastes energy on fake tension about whether they'll end up together. It spends everything on the small, genuine moments where two people who should be enemies discover they're just two people. The story ends before it gets the ending it earned, which stings more because what's there is so good you wanted to watch them figure it out for longer.

Byakuya Mimori is a magical girl who protects her city from an evil army invading Earth, but her first real confrontation doesn't go as expected. Mira, the feared lieutenant and right hand of the king, takes one look at her and falls in love on the spot. Suddenly the ruthless commander is caught between his orders and his feelings for the very person he's supposed to defeat. Won over by her gentle innocence, he starts showering her with presents and kindness. Then he discovers that Angel, the catlike familiar who made her a magical girl, has been using and manipulating her, and he resolves to give her a happier life. With the war still raging, the two wonder whether their growing affection can survive the gulf between their sides. The mix is comedy, fantasy and romance, told in short episodes.
