Nina used to live in a world where a select few were able to use magic. They were referred to as 'Magical Girls'. Nina hoped that someday, she too would be chosen. But, fate had other plans. One day on her way to work, she was involved in a traffic accident and woke up in a completely different world. A world without magic. She wasn't sad for long, as this world had something just as interesting. Vtubers!
