Synopsis:

In the urban sprawl of N-City, the virtual world of "Magical Girl Raising Project" offers a fleeting sense of empowerment to its players. For Koyuki Himekawa, this illusion shatters when she's unexpectedly chosen to become Snow White, a real magical girl. The initial excitement of assisting others quickly gives way to a chilling reality. A sudden and ruthless competition is imposed by the game's administrators: those who fail to accumulate sufficient "Magical Candies" risk losing their powers entirely.

As players face escalating challenges and increasingly perilous choices, the line between virtual fantasy and harsh consequence blurs. The narrative explores themes of sacrifice, the nature of power, and the unexpected burdens that come with fulfilling a dream. The series examines how seemingly benevolent systems can become deeply manipulative when driven by unseen agendas, forcing its characters to confront difficult questions about their identities and worth.
