None of them are exactly 'Magical Girls'
About
Modern Japan.
In this era where smartphones are ubiquitous and video streaming is a daily norm, Magical Girls still exist.
However—they aren't girls.
They are genuine high school boys who spend their days running around gyms, stomping on floors, and chasing volleyballs.
What's more, every single one of them is in the volleyball club.
For some reason, the title bestowed upon them was "Magical Girl."
With dark circles under his eyes, he continues to worry today—Under-Eye Black.
Spitting venom behind a smile—Two-Faced Black.
Strangely deep-thinking, with occasionally terrifying remarks—Ideology Black.
Carving out a cringey legacy due to his fashion sense—Dark-History Black.
And the one chosen simply because the character for "Black" is in his name—Name Black.
These four (wait, five?) "Black" Magical Girls (?) were chasing balls in the gym again today.
As for the Villain they fight...
Created solely for the author's convenience because "if there are magical girls, there must be a villain," was the only sensible person in the entire story.
And so, thanks to these Magical Girls protecting the peace of modern Japan, today is peaceful once again.
