Unexpected Gameplay Change: The Tower in general. It puts different rules on each set of floors, such as racing against an Advancing Wall of Doom or racing to reach a point total before the enemy. |

Weird Trade Union: The game's primary focus is managing a "Union of Magical Girls" who, when they're not fighting brainwashed monsters in turn-based strategic combat, are negotiating with the coalition of magical creatures that gave them their powers for better pay and benefits. |

comment |
Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction: Rather than being the embodiments of purity and justice, Magical Girls are treated as mere employees of a larger system, and having to regularly protect the world from the forces of evil has interfered with Bea's education and left her with no possible career other than working in a (struggling) family-owned store. |

Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World: Deconstructed; having to fight evildoers every night instead of focusing on homework eventually led to the main protagonist flunking out of high school with no marketable skills. It's implied her mother did the same thing. |

Fighter, Mage, Thief: How the trio shakes out, though it is a little shaky since a lot of the usual tropes don't work due to the girls being invulnerable. Bea is the Fighter, as she can dish out large amounts of damage. She's not good for much else though. Genius Beauty Knight is the Thief, able to speed about the battlefield and knock back enemies. Magical Science Angel is the Mage, since she can take out large chains of enemies in a row with a single attack. |
