Ultramaniac -
Magical Girl
Anime DVD Review
Despite the title, this anime series has nothing to with the popular Ultraman franchise. This is about schoolgirls, not supermen. Ayu Takeshi is a popular student at her local high school. She has a secret. She is so crushing on Tetushi Kaji, the MVP of the school's baseball team. Her new friend Nina Sakura, is a transfer student. She too has a secret. She's from a magical kingdom, and is studying to be a witch.
Adapted from the manga by Wataru Yoshizumi (creator of Marmalade Boy), UltraManiac sports comic high jinks in the spirit of Sabrina The Teenage Witch. This romantic comedy is guaranteed to leave you Bewitched.
