Giving someone with social anxiety the power to rewind time doesn't seem like the best idea tbh
*Yoshikague Kira enters the chat*
@@somepvpguy69 he dosen't have social anxiety he just have a hand fetish
@@willwh9228 well he does live a "quiet life"
@@somepvpguy69 fair enough
Life Is Strange in that way
The villain gave her bad social advice on purpose, as a joke.
Truly villanous
they didn't think she'd take it seriously
I would a sequel to this where we get to meet the villain. Assuming there would be some other justification than just meeting a new character
@@georgekerscher5355 but the new character has made in haven's ability and just accelerates time for no reason

Manly doing a Voiceover on a highschool girl he wont even change his voice a little... I like it.
manly is the best magical girl
Pop team epic
Ngl one of the most annoying things when watching a playover of a game is when the streamer does a really terrible imitation voice of the character. I appreciate manly for not doing this
@@slevinchannel7589 i almost rec you npckc coz the art kinda similar but then i read manly desc. There's "Magical witch bell" I never played it though. I think that's a prequel
@@user-gp5yz5yz4x He does do a little voice acting sometimes but I like it! I think it's him getting into the headspace of the character and really immersing himself.
Huh, I expected a much darker twist. Thats kind of wholesome
Wholesome content is much appreciated in these sort of times. Just watching dark and edgy stuff will just bring down anyone's mood even further so heartwarming sweetness is what the world really needs going forward.
@@softlymeowgical7609
it's not like that though. I know what did you mean,but manlybadasshero is known for playing rpg or any cute,ordinary games that have a dark twist in it?
So we expect something bad gonna happen everytime he is playing a new CUTE game.
@@durratulaishah3703 I don't blame you for being this highly alert about this. Sometimes, it can be good to keep your guard up just enough to tell a 'cute' game from the real deal.
@@softlymeowgical7609 it's not that deep fam
You havent played the earlier games? Creator likes to use the 4th wall and time resets to make a friendships or relationships, really wholesome and cute :3
honestly the image of a girl with poor social skills and little experience making friends going to her Reformed Villain Friend, who likely also has poor social skills and little experience making friends, is adorable. Of course they gave her bad advice! No one in this equation has any clue what they’re doing!
It's like the 3rd how to dragon movie scene, where Toothless is trying to impress the light fury, with Hiccup in the background encouraging him.
And as we know, magical girls have no families. They just pop into existence
@@affegpus4195 having a family does not make you good in social skills
The real lesson learned is that magically enhanced awkwardness makes you memorable, shy-chan.
A funny thing to imagine is that all of the Mahou Shoujos remember the time loop, and in a completely different town, there's thisone girl that doesn't even know her powers yet and is just confused and unknowing of why deja vu is happening over and over again.
Is that what happened to Bill Murray?
@@OneEyeShadow Groundhog Day is my favorite Mahou Shoujo anime.
Madoka?
@@irrelevantme8158 yes
@@OneEyeShadow lol
"well you're already in second season in your town aren't you"
She's about to fight ultimate life form now
and she's gonna run away 🏃♂️
@@kazooquokka is it just me or she already stopped thinking?
Yeah, but then ultimate life form will have a depressing backstory, and then they'll team up to stop a space station's--oh wait, wrong game.
@@shinyneko8136 and it will eventually stop thinking
@@shinyneko8136 what game are you referencing?
Like how the start mentions how the guardian being snarky and the magical girl not being sporty as if that's not a common trope already.
Effectively, Kyubey is not very snarky and more "You are ressources and when the time will come I will be the one who collect you"
Me: sees a magical girl in the title
me: oh that sounds cut- *sees manlybadasshero channel pfp*
me: oh shit it's magical girl Madoka but videogames this time
the colors of the girls in the thumbnail and that blue girl that looks like sayaka gives it away
yes
Frankly, the words “magical girl” bring nothing but bad memories
Or any magical girl show with a bit of darkness in it
To be fair this time it actually was pretty tame. It was mostly just an inconvenience happening.
I love this creators style of games. It’s incredibly unique while also appealing and kinda strange.
Most pink based magical girls are sporty tho (minus a few expectations like Madoka).
@@empressofkingfishers8656 And Yuki Yuno (or however you spell it)
Everyone: noo we cant trust cute thumbnails
Me, who realized who the studio is by the artstyle: ooooh boy its gonna get real gay
I was crying the whole time bc it was so sweet and wholesome
ooooooh heeeeelllllll yeeaaaaahhhh
Exactly! I love this game studio so much
The Gae™ is Strong in this one.

Game: “Don’t be stupid, nobody even writes love letters these days.”
Manly: *Has flash backs*
Also Manly: “hmm...”
I want the anwser too, please!
@Legisai It's probably a reference to Dr. Krueger.
Plummy uwu
That's my girlfriend
The last time I got a letter of challenge I ended up at the principal's office for "Unwarranted Instigator of Cafeteria Food Fight"
The unwarranted part of that charge seems to imply that it is possible to be a warranted instigator. If so I wish I had gone to a school where there was a policy in place for food fights could be mandated as required.
@@BladedEdge123 LMAO SERIOUSLY WISH THAT THE SCHOOL ACTUALLY IMPLIED THAT THE CHARGE COULD BE WARRANTED TOO (Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten into as much trouble) I guess you could technically count the cafeteria food debates as "food fights"? Though that involved more chair-throwing than tossing beans at poor unexpecting students. Either way, I'd take the latter any day LOL
@Legisai I'm well aware of that, it was just a funny memory/moment to me in my school. And for the "as a teacher" part, are you implying me as one or speaking from yourself as a teacher haha?
@@allopeep543 I think they meant it as you being the teacher, like a parents watching their kids fight
"I like these clothes... they make me feel safe."
Geeze that line hurts me in my soul. She probably never had anyone to depend on and dug herself into the mahou shojo life as a coping mechanism.
For once, there's really nothing bad that happened.
If you consider time loops to be not inherently a bad thing to happen, of course.
@@KnekoKcat Well, true. But considering Manly's usage of "nothing bad happens" I expected it to go downhill midway through the video. Like, twisted and dark.
I mean she kinda killed our mc multiple times
@@changednamelit she didn’t really die she just got sent back in time
@@pooliewoolie Thats the true scam. He'll catch you off guard eventually
A cute game that actually did turn out to be cute and innocent in the end! Really liked both characters, the blue girl had a Homura rewind thing going on but kind of looked like Sayaka to me
Title: Nothing bad happens to mahou shoujos in the game.
Me: Kyubey flashbacks.
That was a really cute story. I like this dev's way of using groundhog day loops to tell their stories, and I hope they do more neat stuff with the concept. Also, that mysterious girl reminds me of myself in some ways like being shy, being bad with tech stuff, not knowing how to approach people IRL, stuff like that.
Who knew the same person who made a game about a soul trapped forever in solitude and banned from society would end up making a wholesome game about Magical Girls.
And a game abiut 3 girls going to an onsen.
25:50 Umm, yeah... "Ask Vegeta for advice"... I can even hear his answer: "beat her into submission and force her to be your friend"
Are you sure that's Vegeta because this is DEFINITELY Nanoha advice, and the kicker is Takami Nanoha IS a magical girl too
Bulma: Just get beaten into submission, act grumpy, and come back asking to be a friend it works for Goku.
I love npckc's games, they're always really well written and fun to play
I like the variety in their games. They arent overtly dark or ridiculously cute, they strike a nice balance between the two and always manage to be unique
@@user-gp5yz5yz4x Just to note, the dev identifies as non-binary and goes by she/her and they/them pronouns! And I agree with your opinion on npckc's games!
Yeah! I agree with you 100% their games are amazing
@@user-gp5yz5yz4x You edited your comment but you didn’t edit the pronouns lmao
@@semidecent4395 I edited it before they responded. I have nothing against non binary ppl, I just didn't know

OH BOI I THINK I KNOW WHAT THAT BLUE WITCH SAYS
@real. _.smooth
Is too difficult find the meaning of the blue girl words
She use a star as E and that’s something I never see in the wing dings language
🖐👍✌️☠️❄️
I've really been conditioned by Madoka to expect horrible things to happen to magical girls, it's nice to see a wholesome subversion of expectations.
In a pet shop after dark, Manly got a file as secret.
He was told it could be used in the future and I wonder if it has an impact on this game?
I thought so too, but he said this was made before Pet Shop, so I guess not.
The full game is coming out in August, maybe we can use it there
“Yes I did, my name’s Homura”
l m a o idk why that killed me XD
What
I wonder.... would slipping in that one file from "A Pet Shop After Dark" into this game do anything? Well, if this game was made after that one, that is.
I hope to test it out
I thought the same, and now I will wait for the answer here
The rare time when Manly plays a game that looks cute and it's actually cute.
That ending is just... D'awwwww.
Already sus of the game from the cute thumbnail and title 😂
fr 😭
Always has been 🔫
Not to mention the stand-in for Kyubey IN THE FIRST FEW SECONDS.
Oh this is gonna be good based off the title- also it's by the same creator as pet shop after dark so that's a good sign
Edit: That was really cute- it was good
the blue girl over there looks like Claire from witchs heart HKISDFGRYJ
yes also she looks like sayaka from madoka magica too
What's Witchs heart?
@@Sassy_Witch It's an rpg adventure kinda horror game that manly played some time ago (also the origin of manly wanting to throw the bad guy out the window)
@@Kaikailea Ah yes trASHE and the evil known as green hair.
I've just noticed it now I can't unsee it
Madoka meets Sayaka: the lesbian energy Homura wish she had.
Yeah lol.
KIRA QUEEN destroy th is comment
lmao rip momma she died dirty
LMAO
*madoka magica flashbacks*
Thats what I was thinking lol
*reads the title*
Me: *listening to madoka magica soundtrack* hmmmmm....
"There may or may not be time shenanigans"
Me: HMMMMMMMM
Edit: I like this story, it was simple but cute and compelling. If this isn't Madoka Magica-inspired then I'm losing my mind
@@slevinchannel7589 Wats gramur!?
This really is just Madoka Magica except with less existential dread
So a person with a pink hair stuck on another dimension where they just die endlessly?
Wait that person is Diavolo?
@@darkfoxstories9541 DORMAMMU, I'VE COME TO BARGAIN!
*ded*
DORMAMMU, I'VE COME TO BARGAIN!

sounds like a certain magical girl anime i know..
Madoka Kaname real
So basically...
Groundhog Day: Mahou Shoujo Version
So Madoka?
@@pablothecoffeelover2551 E
i know you won't see this, but your gameplays have always been a huge comfort to me when i'm sad or having an adhd episode, they're the only things i can really focus on and ground myself in. despite the horror nature of the games, they're always fun and casual, your videos are really awesome, and i'm really happy they're on here!
Man, keep doing games like this, I will start calling you "ManlyWholesomeHero"!
Not even finished watching the video and already like it.
"nothing bad happens to mahou shoujos"
Me: did you forget that *being meguca is s u f f e r i n g*
meduka... rabu...
my city now
Don't throw souls
I will
END SUFFERING
Oh god, this was so cute, I adore this creator so much. Also I find it interesting how in these games "we" aren't the protagonist.
_From mahou shoujo to just shoujo_
This was cute, very anime repetitive - but the repetition was neceesary & part of the whole gimmick. Nice little story.
Stuck in a time loop where a girl's trying to cast a spell on you?
_LET ME IN! LET ME IIIIINN!!!_
It's weird seeing manly play a game that isn't about gruesome murders.
The little happy ending just made me realize they kinda look like marceline and princess bubblegum but magical girl version-
I honestly love everything about this game
Cute and simple artstyle
The pretty pastel color choices
Amazing story line
Also the element of mystery and suspence
And a very very satisfying ending
Even though I never played this game myself it just looks awesome all around
Titles: "...Nothing Bad Happens To Mahou Shoujos..."
Me: Hahaha.... yep-- *insane flashback to Madoka*
Letter: **have a challenge**
The protagonist: I like your funny words magic -man- letter!
Always appreciate a good clone high reference.
later: wheEeeEel MEEEE
3:27 nice sneaky Madoka Magica reference you did
Looks like Claire from Witch's Heart became a shy mahou shoujo
Manly once again proving to have great taste by talking about Madoka and favoring Vegeta over Goku.
Whan a cute game on Manly's channel is actually cute. I thing I just went to a different wordline.
I can't stop thinking of Madoka Magica and I'm glad the bee wasn't evil🤣
Title: nothing bad happens
Everyone: _...hol up_
And he wasn't really lying. Which is more surprising and scary.
This low key sounds like a nice beginning to an anime.
Thank god. Was so bored I thought I might have to go to bed. And then you came along...❤️
Same here.
Literally same. His videos are so fun to watch and his voice is so soothing
Same
Manly I'm not so sure talking to Vegeta would be any better than talking to Goku.
Goku: Make friends with everyone by fighting them!
Vegeta: Friends make you weak! Fight everyone you come across!
Now I wonder if her former-villain friend will get involved next.
Damn, watching this with manly's voice reminds me of Magical Girl Ore.
Manly: Sees Blue mahou shoujo
Manly: "My name is Homura"
Me: __
The blue magical girl rlly looks like Sayaka too
Is the fact that the mysterious girl is Sayaka Miki in WITCH'S CLOTHES is trying to tell me about the most obvious reference?
glad to see this creator getting more attention, they make a lot of underrated games tbh
I wanna hear how Vegata would give advice for making friends.
Magical girls with a manly voice. This needs an anime
That was incredibly adorable but I don't know what's safe anymore if this was "cute" too
Pretty much all of Manly's videos involves a videogame where "nothing bad happens" XDD. I love it tho.
Awe such a sweet, heartwarming ending ❤
I like to imagine the cute witch took lessons from Nanoha in making friends.
The blue haired girl radiates Tsubasa vibes from Comic Girls...
I loved this game, simple but fun.
Wow it really was just a cute game about magical girls where nothing bad happend and the girls just become friends.
Ah the art style is so cute and simple!
Finally a genuinely wholesome magical girl thing
this was so cute and it made my day
still haven't recovered from the recent Magia Record EN closure T_T
and that battle at the pier they were talking about reminded me of how ACT1 ended against Walpurgisnacht
This was surprisingly wholesome. Glad to see another game by npckc.
You’re awesome Manly! Thanks for making my depressing days so much better with your videos :)
While I do prefer A Pet Shop After Dark, I'm down for a simple cute game. In defense of the incredibly awkward magical girl, if I had time rewind powers then I would use those for anything and everything. If anything, I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get to see her reformed villain pal.
It's been so long since I got here early. Lately I've been asleep or at work when Manly uploads a video.
Dude I had subscribed a while a go just to listen to you say, "Ooh secret."
OH! this is so adorable! I love this~
I wonder if there is a direct connection to A Pet Shop After Dark (APSAD). In that game the girl you save has some sort of power that she can't stop using which causes her to go to the shop owner. If the girl you save is the magical girl that was rewinding time then that would also explain how APSAD had that time loop mechanic that never got clearly explained. I'm not sure if the owner is the "friend" the blue magical girl mentioned, but everything seems to fit too well for it to just be a coincidence.
It does make the ending of this game a bit sadder though since it would mean that the friendship didn't work out. Maybe APSAD started because blue-hair used the time rewind and pink-hair got mad at her. It might not have been a big fight (and even if it was pink-hair would probably be willing to make up), but blue-hair probably took it very seriously and looked for a way to seal her ability. I do kinda wonder if something would happen if you dragged the calling card file into this game however. Even if this one came first, there may have been something added later.
Would You rather become a Magical Girl or Be friends with a Magical Girl.
Be friends with one, I’m too lazy to save the world
oh cool new video, was just binge watching your videos
For once, Magical Girls get a happy wholesome ending.
Usually they end up stabbed or turning into laser-spewing snake monsters.
Watching this game just kind of makes me mad after a while of thinking about it, imagine someone who just does shit to you, over and over, never says anything or explains themselves, and then years later you learn they were just too stupid to human normally and just wanted you as a friend, and are just lucky you were too nice to get proper vengeance. If our main character had decided instead to train herself and become more powerful in the loops, and just one-shot the time girl like she was friggin' Final Fantasy 1 Chaos/Jack Garland, Time Girl would have had a tragic ending!
This is hilarious to imagine. Like one of those tiktok gigs chad transformation art.
Its not even hard just spend some time in Magical girl library and since the MC seems to be adept in electric or lightning magic just learn how to fry a brain.
Manlys giggles are the best. Reminds me of Rumpelstiltskin from once upon a time lol
Who here’s gonna translate the wingdings because I’m too lazy to do it
Ehhhhhy it bothers me how her arms are super disproportionate when she has her arm bent. It's like her right arm grows twice as long and/or her left arm shrunk. It's a stupid thing to get hung up on but baaaaaaaaaarrrgh
You should try the " A tavern for tea "
It's kinda like this, with the rewinds and everything
The beginning reminds me of magical girl raising project (probably inspired by Madoka)
Wow this is ... surprisingly wholesome compared to the other content on this channel or maybe I spoke to soon
a letter of challenge
colors weave into a spire of flame
Madoka Magika wants a word with ya~
npckc has such a cute artstyle omg, I'm in love with it 🥺🥺
insane, the title did not mislead me at all
This was so much more wholesome than I expected from this channel!!!!!!!!!!
I love the art style, it feels very fitting to the theme of the game
Considering how many cutesy horror games Manly's played this was a pleasantly unexpected outcome lol
This is so wholesome I love it!
