Although a truly gifted hairstylist, Kiri Koshiba has no interest in using her talent to pursue fame and fortune, unlike the three popular boys in the "Scissors Project" at school. Determined to become the best makeover team in Japan, they give showy makeovers to handpicked girls. As much as Kiri tries to shy away from the Scissors Project spotlight, she finds herself responding to beauty's call...

Hello! may I ask which manga are in the banner? I recognize Kurumi-tic Miracle, Nico in Fairyland, Cinderella Knight, and Mako ni Omakase but not the other two. also patiently waiting for the return of posts 💕

First of all, props to you for recognizing the ones you did. I didn't know other people knew about Nico in Fairyland! Yippee!!

Top right is Angel Lip. I've only read a couple of chapters, and I'm still on the fence as to whether I'd count it as a magical girl manga, but it's by Kiyoko Arai, who also created one of my favorite underrated magical girl series: Ask Dr. Rin. (She also did the manga for a couple of the Pierrot girls.)

Bottom right is Kiss kara Hajimaru Majo no Sensou. I actually haven't read it yet but the artwork is so pretty!

And thank you so much for your patience! Life is... a bit hectic right now, but I'm hoping I can resume posting in January. I really appreciate everyone's support! ✨
