Synopsis

Magical Girl Site follows the difficult life of Aya Asagiri who is troubled by both bullies as school and at home. She happens upon a website with an eerie person who out of pity gives her magical powers. She later finds a gun in her locker which she uses to fire at bullies in defense. She’s shocked to find that they disappear and then afterwards are pronounced dead from being hit by a train. Asagiri isn’t the only magical girl, however, and she soon makes friends with other magical girls, one who happens to be her classmate. Both, however, are worried about a countdown clock on the website since they have no idea what will happen once it reaches zero.
