Normality Is Overrated

Deconstruction maybe? But even then not really. The pilot specifically pokes at some of the magical girl tropes but the rest of the series I have planned is, at its core, a mostly normal magical girl show. Transformations, monsters of the day, girls being girls, magical mascots, big bads, etc.

I’m just latching onto a theme that’s seen in most magical girl anime (a want for a normal life and to not be burdened with the weight of the world as a young girl) and making that the focus of the show! Aika already had her origin story, she’s lived several seasons of this magical girl life and we’re jumping into the middle part of her story. The part where she’s starting to feel the burnout and is questioning if this is what she really wants.

AIKA AND ZIRAAA

Prince Nightshade

Beelzebub's eldest daughter and ruler of the Gluttony ring (Beelzebub has replaced Lucifer as the ruler of hell). He is cold, calculating and nihilistic, harboring a strong resentment towards his mother.

Prince Gladiolus

Beelzebub's middle daughter and the leader of the Gluttony ring's army. Gladiolus is callous, cruel and enjoys endless sadism and destruction. She has a strong dislike for males and views them as nothing more than breeding/feeding machines. She doesn't get along well with anyone in her family except for her mother.

Princess Magnolia

Beelzebub's youngest daughter and ruler of the Sloth ring (it was overtaken during a Hell Civil War). Magnolia is the most popular of her sisters and beloved by demons of all backgrounds. Her addictive honey hair can make even the most miserable demon smile, though consuming too much can leave them in an irreversible zombified state. Unlike her sisters, Magnolia considers herself a "herbivore" refusing to eat fellow demons as she finds it barbaric.

She has no qualms with eating Digital or Plant based demons though...

Every time a new reader, somewhere in the world, comes across our comic and laughs, their face pops up before our inner mind's eye. They become part of the War and Peas World.

This world is fueled by actual imagination and is 100% human-made (except for the occasional alien intervention). It's been built through years of joy-filled and gut-wrenching work alike. There are no shortcuts. No schemes. But there is much laughter!

We see you chuckle and dance, skipping along your merry day. And honestly? That's what keeps us going.

If you'd like to help us keep creating, consider supporting us on Patreon. Your support means we can keep drawing comics instead of getting real jobs.

15 years ago, we started this as a silly side project. We never imagined it would become this big, weird, beautiful series with millions of readers. That's largely thanks to our loyal patrons.

They keep this show on the road, and we love them for it.

Fun fact: the time it takes us to create one comic is roughly the same as a transatlantic flight. Except there are no free drinks, no movies and the turbulence is emotional.

If you've ever wished you could buy us that airplane tomato juice: Patreon is basically that, but better. You'll get exclusive comics, behind-the-scenes content, and the warm feeling of keeping two sleep-deprived artists alive!

We've been making comics every week for the last 15 years – rain or shine!

Every time a reader like you decides to support our work via Patreon, it means we get to keep on going. We plan to be around for the upcoming 14 years – thanks to our community!

Money is stupid, but we need it to live. Please consider donating to our Patreon to keep this comic alive and kicking!

We're 100% sure you'll have a great time getting all the secret comics, exclusive downloads, and watching BTS footage. See you there?

There's a version of the future where we stop making comics. Then we open our messages and see someone telling us our comic got them through a rough week – and suddenly that future feels impossible.

You reading this right now, you're part of the reason we're still here. If you'd like to make that reason a little more official (and a lot more sustainable), our Patreon is the place:

Putting art on your wall transforms those moments when you're just walking past into tiny moments of joy – like discovering a twenty in an old jacket, except it happens every single time you notice it.

Think of our Patreon like a secret backstage door.

Out here, you get comics. In there, you enter our weird sanctum: comic battles where you can vote, the jokes that were too unhinged to post publicly, and the satisfaction of knowing you prevented 2 artists from having a real job.

The door is open. Come in:
