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. But the woman's excitement turns to frustration when she learns that being a magical girl in real life is much different than how it's portrayed in manga. It isn't just destiny--it's work. 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, and despite being magical, she still battles with low self-esteem. 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. Because magical girls need to think about sustainability, too. Park Seolyeon reimagines classic fantasy tropes in a novel that explores real-world challenges that are both deeply personal and universal: the search for meaning and the desire to do good in a world that feels like it's ending. A fun, fast-paced, and enchanting narrative that sparkles thanks to award-nominated translator Anton Hur, A Magical Girl Retires reminds us that we are all magical girls--that fighting evil by moonlight and winning love by daylight can be anyone's game. 650 0 $a Women $z Seoul $z Seoul $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Depression in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Generation Y $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Seoul (Korea) $v Ficiton. 650 0 $a Fantasy fiction. 700 1 $6 880-03 $i Translation of: $a Pak, SoÌ-ryoÌn. $t MaboÌp sonyoÌ uÌnt'oe hamnida. $l English. 700 1 $a Hur, Anton, $e translator. 880 1 $6 100-01/(3 $a ë° ìë ¨, $e author. 880 10 $6 240-02/(3 $a ë§ë² ìë ìí´ í©ëë¤. $l Korean 880 1 $6 700-03/(3 $i Translation of: $a ë° ìë ¨. $t ë§ë² ìë ìí´ í©ëë¤. $l English. 941 $a 1 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240611032759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DEF178EA27B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
