Summary

Twenty-nine, depressed, and drowning in credit card debt after losing her job during the pandemic, a woman decides to end her troubles by jumping off Seoul's Mapo Bridge. But her suicide attempt is interrupted by a girl dressed all in white - her guardian angel. Ah Roa is a clairvoyant magical girl on a mission to find the greatest magical girl of all time. And our protagonist just may be that special someone. But the young woman's initial excitement turns to frustration when she learns being a magical girl in real life is much different than how it's portrayed in stories. Magical girls go to job fairs, join trade unions, attend classes. And for this magical girl there are no special powers and no great perks. Her magic wand - is a credit card - which she must use to defeat a terrifying threat that isn't a monster or an intergalactic war. It's global climate change.
