Evil Magical Girls?! *Gasp*


 Finally! Those pesky finals are finally over! Now back to what you've all been waiting for....another comic recommendation!

Ready for the next one? I hope you are!

The next one we'll be looking at is a published manga titled "Magical Girl Apocalypse"

This comic is a psychological horror with magical girls to add that fantasy touch. In this comic though, the antagonists are the magical girls. I'll try to explain this comic without giving too much away.
 So this comic parallels pretty much any other comic, average high school student (Kogami Kii), average life, nothing interesting....

Some weirdo comes into their life and messes it up for better or worse, to make the story interesting. So, pretty much, evil magical girls start appearing out of nowhere, seeming to be from another dimension, and start killing people. The people they kill turn into magical girl zombies and they start killing whatever s around them. This cycle just keeps on going, like any zombie plot, really, but more magical (?). Kii and other students ban together to get to the bottom of this event and try to do their best to survive.
This comic can get really creepy and extremely gory. It touches taboo subjects such as rape too so TRIGGER WARNING! 
Now an interesting thing about this comic is the striking resemblance to High School of the Dead.
This may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you see this resemblence. If you missed the apocoliptic setting that High School of the Dead offered and the gore and action, than this comic may be able entertain you but if you miss the art and the boobs....

Than, yeah it isn't the same. Magical Girl Apocalypse's art is more chibi-like and the body proportions of the characters are not that great. And when it comes to sex appeal...well.....

The character above is your best example. Besides her design, she is actually a really strong character and one of my favorites in the series. One of the great things in the comic are actually the strong female roles. It doesn't feel that the male character is the strongest and everyone has to rely on him.

After a while though, the series starts to branch out it's plot, making a simple concept less simple and almost ridiculous, if it wasn't already. It's a fun read and it catches you by surprise, which is rare for a series to do to me so I do recommend it. It's entertaining and just dumb - creepy - fun!

This series has been licensed in America so you can go to stores and buy it
.....or read it somewhere online for free. I will not be adding a link for this though, because that won't help the author and I am sure a quick google search will help you find it (^_-)-☆

Well, that's it for now! Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with another comic to take a look at!
Don't forget to follow if you like what you see and if you have any comics you want to have me
look at for next time, let me know in the comments! 
See you guys again soon~
