Review: Blue Reflection's a slice of magical girl life | Michibiku

The magical girl genre is a robust one in Japan. Series like Card Captor Sakura, Magic Knight Rayearth, Pretty Cure, Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Sailor Moon have given [people] some idea of what to expect when young women are tasked with protecting others. Which makes it a bit odd that [video game fans] do not see many games with original characters and storylines exploring the premise. This makes Blue Reflection an unexpected delight. It is a gorgeous game that borrows from both the magical girl and Persona formulas to tell a heartfelt story.
