Alongside companions like Shizuka Tsuchimikado and rivals such as Yumilia Qazan and Maria Rasputin, the story weaves Eastern and Western folklore into a richly imaginative battleground. Produced by Hoods Entertainment under the direction of Shigeru Ueda, with series composition by Ryunnosuke Kintsuki, this is a must-watch for fans of magical girl adventures rooted in classic storybook mythology.

Hazuki Kagimura is an ordinary girl who finds herself spending most of her time alone, seeking solace in the pages of books and the worlds they contain, especially as she struggles to connect with her new family at home. Everything changes one afternoon when a mysterious bookshelf in her school's library becomes an unexpected gateway, transporting her to a magical realm housing an extraordinary school. There, she crosses paths with Shizuka Tsuchimikado and begins to uncover the school's remarkable secret: its students, known as "mädchen," are chosen by ancient fairy tales and folklore from around the world, granting them the power to wield magic drawn from those very stories. Legends ranging from Arthurian myths and The Ramayana to classic Japanese tales like Kaguya-hime no Monogatari all have their place within these walls. As for Hazuki herself, the story that has claimed her is none other than the timeless tale of Cinderella — and her journey into this enchanted world is only just beginning.
