Magical Girl Gunslinger Chapter 38 - "Home" Part One
MGG Chapter 38 Part One is here!
A few things: What do I mean by "Part One"?
I really don't want to split this chapter up, but you all have the patience of saints, so despite the second part not meeting my standards just yet and needing an overhaul, I'm going to be releasing the first part of the chapter early to avoid having to hold the entire chapter back until I'm finished. Hopefully, that will be satisfying enough while I frantically try to wrangle this last part. It's such a pivotal look at why Mai is the way she is, and I really want it to be perfect. Part One is also a little over 5k words, meaning it really is a good chapter length on its own to read.
As a final note, Chapter 38 (probably) won't be posted to Spacebattles or Royal Road until the entire chapter is finished, so everyone following on Patreon and Discord will be getting a sort of early access to it.
Finally, despite wanting this chapter to really all be one big part, I do want to start doing shorter chapters (around 5k to 8k would be ideal). My beta readers also suggested it works as a chapter just fine on its own, but I'm still thinking it over.
Thank you all once again for your support, and I hope you enjoy!

Can’t wait for the second part! I love this story!!
We are still alive?!
Is the book still ongoing? I've been checking on it every week, I can't wait for a new chapter 🥺
I’ve really been enjoying your work - and it’s so fun to see other creators who are also writing original magical girl content!!
Every time I think of magical girls I start to reread Magical girl gunslinger, and so hear i am once again ready to break my heart for a fictional character once again
I love this story so much. It just does sth for me that any other story can't get right. I love the dark setting that is still accomodating for magical girls and that the zenith aren't some evil beings (or are they?). I'm seriously considering writing a spin off in another city just so i can indulge in this world more. I really miss Mai. Take your time Mikasane and please come back whenever you're ready!
Hoping everything is going well with you. I still drop by from time to time to see if you've popped back up! If you're done with writing this story, I'd be okay with that, if a bit sad. I mostly just want to know if everything is okay since we're nearing the half-year mark. Regardless, I'm wishing you well and hang in there.
I do still think about this story sometimes. I enjoy it a lot and look eagerly towards your next chapter. Take your time and release at your own pace :3
You know if your having trouble with a chapter you can write something later in the story and come back to it later...
Bah!!!! What a place to end the chappie!?!? Dammit! I gotta know what happens and I will patiently wait...but I'm already angry for Mai, and she would not approve or appreciate it. TFTC
Thanks for the chapter. I always check regularly for MGG updates no matter how long it takes. The updates are always worth the wait. Mikasane please take as much time as you need on the second half of the chapter.
Okey, this is horrible in a entierly different way from what I was expecting... I'm dreading her family coming home... 🤕
Although it does remind me what my bullies did, like in the very deliberate emotional cruelty, and the way they made me feel like I deserved it... But it's her father doing it... I'm strugling to comprehend the trauma, poor Mai
Tftc
Thank you for chapter you are amazing
I’m sensing a bit of where this is going. It sounds like it might be slightly similar to something I’ve dealt with, though less extreme. The pressure this kind of parenting puts on you… people don’t get it until they’ve lived it.
I sincerely hope you're in a better place now. ❤️
Argh. As a father myself, this is already causing me pain and nothing has even happened yet. That Red Binder... All my protective instincts are flaring. Urgh. Mika, how do you do that? Thanks for the chapter, the tension is so taut I could play a dirge on it!
That was beautiful to read. And ending in a calm before the storm way without leaving anything on a cliff.
Jesus. I want to just hug Mai until all the trauma heals. I know it doesn't work like that, but God, I wish it did.
Well, no physical hitting But reminds me of the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones But words shall… … carve themselves into my soul for eternity even after the bones heal” 🎬
PEAK IS BACK🔥🔥🔥 This story is literally so good it made me cry at one point
Just one time? You monster! ;)
