Takeshobo’s Storia Dash web platform confirmed that the Gushing Over Magical Girls manga by Akihiro Ononaka will return from hiatus with chapter 59 on October 17 on the Takecomi! website. This ends a year and a half hiatus for the Gushing Over Magical Girls manga, which was due to Ononaka dealing with an illness.
The Gushing Over Magical Girls manga by Ononaka entered serialization in 2019. Nearly five years after the manga began, Asahi Production produced an anime adaptation in January 2024 with three versions ranging from censored to completely uncensored—TV, Gushing, and Ultra-Gushing modes. HIDIVE is currently streaming the anime, and Gushing Over Magical Girls Season 2 is in the works.

Lastly, here’s an overview of Gushing Over Magical Girls, via HIDIVE.
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!
