Three ordinary schoolgirls are magically whisked away from their class fieldtrip to the troubled land of Cephiro, where they acquire elemental powers. The benevolent ruler of Cephiro has been kidnapped by the evil Zagato, and the girls must brave many trials in order to become the legendary Magic Knights and save the land. With the help of a mysterious guru sent to guide them, they battle monsters, discover their powers, and meet friends and enemies along the way. But through it all, their kindness, loyalty, and courage supports them, and they learn to believe in themselves and each other.

This story is fairly predictable and commonplace - magic powers, legendary destiny, the ancient mage guide, ordinary people learning to battle monsters, etc... Yeah yeah, heard it all before.
But the girls are so CUTE!!! They're really lovely and adorable, and I liked their hilarious dialogue. They are not complex characters, and I wish they had a little more depth to them, but they are definitely sweet!

I'm not a huge fan of the art style. In most of the action panels, I can barely tell what is happening, because there is usually monster blood spewing out, or magical energy rays blinding everyone or something, and the panel is just so busy. Since it's in black and white, it's hard to tell what is what. But the rest of the art is clear, and I like the classic manga style.

The writing is good, but the story is nothing super special. The art is good, but not amazingly great. So overall, I enjoyed reading this! I will continue to read the rest of the series. Sometimes, I really like to have a fluff read that is enjoyable, but not earth-shattering. Definitely worth the read!
