I'm going into high school this year... how old can I get and still be called a magical girl?The age distinction between 'woman' and 'girl' is more pronounced in JapaneseI don't want to be a 'witch'...
majo = literally "magical female", but used in-show to mean "Witch"What're you saying~?
Aren't you still really young~?But what if, say, I was 20 years old?That sounds wonderfulMagical Beautymahou shoujo -> mahou bijoMami-san is a...'Magical female'... that doesn't sound right...
mahou shoujo without the 'young' = mahou onnahug
