This ongoing webcomic by Alex Heberling follows a group of Magical Girls whose world-saving powers show up far too late to actually save anyone from the invading alien forces. Instead, Sami seeks out answers, and is soon joined by other girls with powers. Together, they seek to conquer their gifts, discover the origins of their powers and the aliens, and help what remains of humanity to survive. The post-apocalyptic scenes and their focus on survival rather than world-saving is definitely fresh and unique, and is very believably done. At the same time, there's still plenty of classic magical girl moments to go around, especially as these very different girls have to learn to work together. The girls range from late high school into adulthood, and the comic does depict adult issues like death, war themes, and mild gore. There's also some LGBTQ+ content. STATS:

Romantic mystery meets a magical sci-fi, time-travel adventure in this adorable series! ABOUT:Space enthusiast Subaru discovers a super cute alien - who leads her to four magical girls, who've been tasked with collecting the part of his space ship! Things get complicated, as it seems each girl is from a different version of the world - Subaru remembers Aoi as being the one who left for another school, while Aoi remembers the opposite. Soon, Subaru finds herself falling for a mystery guy trapped in a garden, while the five girls battle with a powerful rival who wants the engine parts for himself. All the while, they're dealing with normal high school problems! If you're looking for a blend of J-pop songs by genuine bands, seriously epic battle scenes (including mechs,) and more than a few magical girl devices, this is definitely a good place to start! ABOUT:Four young girls decide to audition to become the 77th generation of idol trainees, vying for a spot in the intergalactic traveling idol group, AKB0048. But it won't be as easy as just dancing and singing. Humanity is ruled by a totalitarian government, and all entertainment has been banned, and the DES - an elite military group - will do anything to stop the AKB0048 girls from performing. So besides the usual singing, dancing, and fan meets that idols do, these girls must also learn martial arts, weapon skills, and develop their powerful idol auras. The group is based around the actual J-pop group AKB48 and the subsequent sub- and sister groups. In the Japanese dubs, the Voice Actresses are real-world group members, and the characters take 'stage names' from both their actresses and other real-world group members - people who, in-universe, are what inspired AKB0048 to exist.
