The Gushing Over Magical Girls manga series will be going on hiatus for the foreseeable future, according to the official Storia Dash Twitter account. Akihiro Ononaka, the author of Gushing Over Magical Girls, is currently dealing with an unspecified illness.
The Gushing Over Magical Girls manga by Ononaka entered serialization in 2019. Nearly five years after the manga began, Asahi Production released a new anime adaptation with three versions: TV, Gushing, and Ultra-Gushing modes. 11 episodes of Gushing Over Magical Girls have been released thus far, with two more to go for the current season.

Lastly, here’s an overview of the series:
Hiragi Utena is a major fangirl of the magical girls protecting her city, so when she has the chance to become one herself, she leaps at the chance to join their technicolor ranks… but when she transforms, she learns she isn’t fated to be a daring do-gooder, but rather a villain on the side of evil! At first she tries to quit her new gig as the leader of the local baddies, but she quickly realizes she enjoys it and is a total natural at tormenting the magical girls she loves so much. With both a bang and a whimper, Hiragi’s journey as a magical-girl-tormenting sadist has begun!
