With the advent of Magic, the Magical Girls genre's tropes and sensibilities seeped throught every aspects of humanity's culture. And by extension Japan's culture became a monolith as the originator of said genre.
Today the customs and culture of Japan can be found everywhere in the world. Especially in places with strong Magical Girls presence. Naming children with Japanese names also became a lot more common. Especially for girls of parents hopeful that their daughters will awaken magical powers.

David was on the phone, his expression growing more and more heratic and angry the longer the conversation went. ''Then take the chance! Weren't you the one that always strove to break new ground? There's no newer ground than this!...You gave a second chance to fucking deliquants who robbed and assaulted civilians and law enforcers alike but a trans girl is too much for you to handle?!...Fine then, just walk away you fucking coward!''
He slammed the phone back down, instantly ending the call and burried his face in his hands with an exhausted groan. He bent down to his cabinet and retreived a bottle of rum and a small empty glass. He poured the rum and swung the glass to his lips before gulping it all down in seconds, the burn of the alcohol going down his throat grounded him a little bit.
He had basically exhausted all the reputable middle schools in the country. He knew this would be an uphill battle but he never expected how alive and well transphobia still was. It was really depressing and it took all his restraints to not make a hole in the wall of his office in frustration.
He only had one last option left. He wouldn't accept sending Rin to a school with a subpar and undefunded Magical Girl program and education. His pride as social worker wouldn't allow it. He would rather send the girl to the USA if it came down to it. No matter how much his boss would chew him out for letting a Magical Girl escape the country into the arms of a rival.
The school in question had a well funded program but it was undermanaged. The program had a more hands off approach than most other schools due to the fact that the main instructor also served as the school Magical Nurse. So the students would be left using the ressources given by the school mostly on their own.
But from what he heard the Magical Girls were a close-knit group that helped each other to rise higher in their training. Which was the only reason why he considered the school at all.
Despite this, he wasn't happy at all that he had to call them. Him and the director of the school had a...tense relationship.
Arleady dreading the interaction ahead he took the phone back up and composed the number. The phone rang and with each successive ring his heart was beating faster.
On the third ring someone finally picked up. ''Hello Mr. Timothy, I didn't expect to hear back from you anytime soon.''
David groaned arleady feeling an headache forming in his head. ''Believe me I wouldn't call you if I had a choice.''
The man on the other side of the call chuckled. ''There's only one reason you would call me. You're desperate.''
''Yeah and so are you, so you better not be an ass with this or I'm going to strangle someone.'' David replied with gritted teeth.
''True, true, our school is unfortunately low on Magical Girl students and the board is not happy. So what do you have for me? A thief? Someone who pissed the authorities with a spree of vigilantism using excessive force? A rogue Magical Girl?'' The other man asked clearly still amused.
