AN: This might be a slightly darker take on ML but I really just want to write crack, so it'll be very lighthearted most of the time. This universe is loosely inspired by the manga and new(!) anime, Mahou Shoujo Ore, which is just hilariously great. The fact that the voice actor of Kageyama Tobio in Haikyuu! voices the main character is just icing on the cake. Heh. If that doesn't move you, the voice actor of Katsuri Yuuri (Yuri! on Ice) is also in this show. So there.
Now go watch it.
In the distant past, man turned against man during periods of turmoil and chaos. Crime rates soared; trust and empathy became precious things that were found in too few places. But warfare and crime were now fast becoming relics of the past, thanks to the efforts of Miraculous & Co, a small company based in Japan.
We will give you saviors, Miraculous promised skeptical countries. Saviors who will make the world a better place, and they gave the world the first magical girls.
Of course, such promises never came without hefty prices. Miraculous wasn't a charitable organization, after all. No charity had the infrastructure that Miraculous had to support the activities of magical girl soldiers or the vast resources needed to pay for the staggering damage the girls left in their wake.
But government agencies and activists could not find a single thing to incriminate Miraculous, anything that would implicate them in unsavory activities. Underneath the sparkles and the frills and the facade of goodwill, they found…nothing. As if it were a blank slate.
But in these times of distrust and uncertainty, nothing always meant something, and one enterprising journalist managed to discover something…before he mysteriously disappeared one day and local police found his body bobbing facedown in the Arakawa River a week later.
On the corpse's left foot, the pathologist found a few hastily scribbled words written in blue ink.
"Mira.& Co," the dead man had written. "893."
893.
In Japanese, pronounced as ya-ku-sa.
Yakuza.
