Mysterious absences, tardiness, and other demerits are piling up. Now the student council has sent her a summons. How’s she supposed to explain this while keeping her Magical Girl alter ego secret? However, the student council may have a secret of its own…

This is awesome! However I think the resolution is too big, I kept having to scroll up and down to read the text.

ShibeyFaceGames responds:

Ah, thanks for letting me know! I can lower the default window size. Pressing "U" on the keyboard at any time should toggle to fullscreen which might help too! Thanks for playing :)
