This is a really rules light game, taking the already pared down *World or Powered by the Apocalypse rule set and making it even tighter, leaner, and faster. Conflict rolls are over once everyone has rolled once, and the outcome decided based on everyone's roll pooled together. The system is almost brutally stripped down, lean and fast.
For those who like lots of juicy setting there's not much here. There are implications and hints about how the world functions, and the character's role in it, but by and large the game is, as the cover suggests, about very angry magical girls who are rightfully upset, since their world has just been turned upside down by their transformation into a magical girl with no help from others. To be clear, this is a very dark world and tone for the magical genre, and the angry magical girl on the cover is probably pretty standard. Your transformation into a magical girl is one way, and doesn't care what you looked like before you became a magical girl. The transformation itself is woven into the rules in a dramatic and traumatic fashion.
In summary: The rules are there for a solid dark themed magical girl game, and include and extremely almost brutally tight rule set for actions both magical and mundane. There's only a very lightly implied setting, and a lot of the outcomes and actions are heavily dependent on GM interpretation. If you like improv, rules lite, and darker themes you'll like this game.
