I’m looking for magical girl manga where the girls discover and learn magic by themselves instead of it being granted through some contract
Also I don’t like ones where they have to give up the magic when they grow up because that trope is stupid and I hate it
I may be misremembering, but as she “awakens” she starts being able to basically fly and stuff.
You remember correctly, it’s still explained as a technological feature. Kind of a case of “sufficiently advanced technology, looks like magic”, though.
