Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete, known in English as Yearning for Magical Girls, is a dark, subversive magical girl manga and anime that strips away the genre's usual cheerfulness to explore its darker, more predatory undertones, following girls who idolized magical girl shows only to find the reality far grimmer. Its deliberately uncomfortable tone set it apart from typical magical girl fare. The Yearning for Magical Girls hentai tag collects parody doujinshi inspired by the series.
