Synopsis of Gushing Over Magical Girls

Hiiragi Utena has always admired magical girls and has fantasized about becoming a genius heroine who fights evil. So when a doll-like figure approaches her one night, claiming that she has a latent magical power inside, she trembles with excitement. But her colorful dream is quickly cut short in an ironic turn of events when she transforms into a villain.

Uninterested in associating with the forces of evil, she tries to leave when a group of magical girls appear and declare war on her. A battle ensues, and Hiiragi soon discovers that she enjoys inflicting pain on others as her true nature begins to emerge. "Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete" follows Hiiragi in her new life as the leader of the villains, fighting the magical girls and unleashing her new sadistic nature.
