Aya Asagiri (Magical Girl Site)

Aya Asagiri is the main protagonist of the psychological horror magical girl manga/anime, Magical Girl Site. She is introduced as a 14-year-old school student who is bullied at school and beaten by her brother at home. She discovers the Magical Girl Site, which gave her a magic stick for her misfortune which led to some deadly consequences.

This article is not meant for the character to be “loathsome” (while likeable) but only focused on the bad qualities.

Bad Qualities
Note: This character is not meant to be as loathsome since she is supposed to be a good person, but will only focused on the mistakes and difficult purposes/decisions.
 * 1) The main problem with Aya is that she is incredibly a generic "weak-willed" main protagonist who is bullied at school and beaten by her brother at home. Then she discovers the Magical Girl Site that gives her the magic stick for some purposes of her misfortune but this led her to have deadly consequences.
 * 2) Her character design looks like a poor man's rip-off of Aya Drevis from Mad Father, with the black threaded hairstyle, and her first name, as well.
 * 3) She thinks being bullied at school and abused at home, would caused her to end her life by committing suicide. Making her a generic "suicidal" character, who is weak to tell people.
 * 4) *As a result, she was possibly written as an excuse that weak little girls or boys are punching bags.
 * 5) She may be the main protagonist, but she is a very weak representation of what a Magical Girl could be.
 * 6) She even barely even has fighting skills or get any personal training to fight back his brother and the bullies, instead the series wants to focus more on the Magical Girl Site website which could have been misleading if it wasn’t titled like the site’s same name.
 * 7) She is much of a coward, but a frightened girl compared to other male and female protagonists like her and proves that she lacks what makes magical girls so special.
 * 8) Her dialogue while not as incredibly painful, is just that her lines are forced whenever she says “happy” and sorts.
 * 9) The manga/anime tries to paint her as if Aya was the most misfortunate girl in the world, but the problem is...it shows in the most very horribly executed way as possible.
 * 10) * Just as she acts like a complete moron and not a smart learner who tries to get away from her bullies by not telling her teachers. Instead, Aya teleports one of the bullies and led them to die on a train along with letting Kaname (who was crawling to get Kosame's magic stick to heal him from his neck bleeding after slashing Nijimi with Sayuki Ringa's sword in self defense while he was stealing magic sticks from Sayuki's home) being kidnapped and sodomized through torture by Detective Kichiro Misumi.
 * 11) She feels more like a weaker clone of Madoka Kaname, the main protagonist of Puella Magi Madoka Magica but the difference is that Madoka would have been even much tragic if so than Aya was. The only difference is that Madoka is actually likable, strong-willed and a great big sister to her little brother, Tatsuya, while Aya is the same, but is just weak-willed and a decent sister to her older brother, Kaname and her biological twin sister, Yatsumura.
 * 12) She has no reason for her bullies and her brother Kaname, to treat her like a harmless punching bag.
 * 13) * Of course, she never bother to tell her parents or teachers at all about her problems, EVER. Making Aya the weak girl that she is.
 * 14) * Also she doesn’t find out about her bullies and her adopted father, instead Aya just “rewrote their memories with good ones”.
 * 15) We see Aya getting herself into trouble with having her ruined school shoes in the locker, having her school table vandalized, drowned in the toilet, being punched, kicked, and even choked by her brother, Kaname, who wants Aya to help him relieve his stress from his father's "expectations".
 * 16) She contemplates herself dying by getting herself killed on a train. But, is unable to do that in fear.
 * 17) She lets her cat, Mya die in a train accident by Sarina and her friends, despite Aya didn't want to adopt the cat.
 * 18) Similar to Ange Ushiromiya from Umineko When They Cry, she is a crybaby who is too weak to do so and just cries into tears way too much for more than 30 times.
 * 19) Her magic stick's ability was to teleport things, that's it, making her even useless until later chapters.
 * 20) Despite being the main protagonist, she feels more like an assist rather than like a fighter in later chapters.
 * 21) She is later derailed (as opposed to be flanderized) as a muted girl (despite she already became a brave girl in later chapters), after witnessing Yatsumura's lifespan faded away and died.
 * 22) Lots of IDIOT MOVES:
 * 23) * In the first chapter and episode of the anime, she shoots and teleports Erika and Shota to a nearby train to death, INSTEAD of taking them to a safe place or summon the police or her teachers or principals.
 * 24) * When Sarina told her to shoot the site admin, Juroku. INSTEAD HOWEVER, she just TELEPORTED HER TO ANOTHER PLACE rather than turning her back into a normal girl.
 * 25) At the end of the last chapter to add salt to the wound, she doesn't get to see her biological mother since Aya just wants to live with the Asagiri family (aside from the point, her adopted father no longer pressured so hard to his son to study).

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite being generic, her character design is cute to look at.
 * 2) Her voice acting is good.
 * 3) At least, she was never malicious or even unheroic at all, and has a good heart in her since she doesn’t do anything terrible.
 * 4) She does become a brave girl in later chapters when she was able to fight against the site admins.
 * 5) * She did her best to realize the cruelty to Sarina and Kaname and wanted them to be happy.
 * 6) She is a nice girl who wouldn't do those harsh things like Sarina, Kaname, or Rina.
 * 7) She has more character development and personality since she is the main protagonist.
 * 8) She is good friends with one of her classmates, Tsuyuno Yatsumura.
 * 9) She is aware that Kaname was abused by his father for not living up to his school studies, and often hears his lamentation in his room.
 * 10) * Thus, that abuse leads to himself to endure that by using Aya as a stress relief for the fun of it.
 * 11) * She also told Kaname that she tried everything to protect him and never wanted him to torn the family apart while wanting them to be happy.
 * 12) She was able to learn that Kaname and his parents weren't her real family, but it was Yatsumura as her biological twin sister and Makoto Hinomoto as her biological father, who took the form of a 14-year-old classmate of hers at school.
 * 13) Thankfully, She prevented other people from misfortune in the new timeline and have Ichi defeat the King, so that she will have a happy life with them at the end of the series (of which she never murder anyone including her two bullies).

Trivia

 * Her design can be inspired by Ai Enma, from Hell Girl.
 * It is said that in the last chapter, that Aya is related to Ki Kogami and Tsukune Fukumoto, the main characters from Magical Girl Apocalypse.
 * Her crying in chapter 103 would also become a meme titled “Babe, please stop.”
