About Magic of Stella

Looking for background on Magic of Stella (ステラのまほう)? This comedy and slice of life series by SILVER LINK. (2016) starts out like this. The setup: Tamaki's really excited about going to high school, but she's not sure what kind of club she wants to join… until she crosses paths with three girls who are making their own computer games! Remembering how she loved making board games when she was little, Tamaki takes the plunge and joins the group as their new artist.

Soon after, now she, programmer Shiina, writer Ayame and composer Kayo are in a frantic race to finish their game in time to show at the big "doujin" conventions. Meeting their deadlines won't be easy, especially since Tamaki has to learn on the job and Aya keeps getting distracted writing steamy love scenes. Where there's a will there's a way, and with the help of a bunch of talented friends, they just might be able to make it in time!

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Maria Naganawa as Tamaki Honda and Aoi Yuuki as Kayo Fujikawa. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
