Magical Girl Understudy is thrilled when she gets her first minor-league role, but with greater power comes greater chaos, in this progression fantasy.
Magical Girl Understudy Anika DuPont has finally made it to the minor leagues on an Earth-wide reality show created to entertain Ilneat alien children. She's got bigger ambitions though. When Tokyexico University offers her and her girlfriend, Bianca—the superhero Fursona—spots in an elite associate's program, they're quick to sign up; this could be their ticket to the major leagues. Meanwhile, as minor leaguers, they're solely responsible for keeping their villains in check, and failure could hand the supervillain group 3V1L control of whole districts.
And that's not the only complication. APPEAL, the anti-supers organization, is gaining ground on campus while the school's superhero and supervillain clubs are in the middle of looking for new leadership. If that wasn't enough, the Third Power War is under way, pitting villains against one another for control of Earth's cities as heroes desperately battle to stop them. Annie and Bianca sign on with the Triad as support auxiliaries, keeping Extras safe while the major-league supers do the heavy fighting.
Now, Annie's busy growing her skills and gathering new Costumes to keep up with her enemies. But an unsolvable murder shakes the balance of power between heroes and villains to its core. Chaos and destruction reign in Tokyexico City, and the number of civilians in danger keeps rising faster than she can save them. Soon, Annie will have to ask herself what she wants out of superhero work, who her enemies are, and whether APPEAL might be right about superheroes and the system after all . . .
