NTR (Netorare) refers to a common genre in Japanese media that involves a character witnessing their romantic partner being seduced or stolen away by someone else. It is often associated with feelings of jealousy, betrayal, and emotional turmoil for the main character. In the case of the character "Magical Sempai," NTR does not seem to play a significant role in the story. "Magical Sempai" is a comedy manga and anime series that follows the comedic mishaps and failures of an amateur magician (referred to as Sempai) and her interactions with a reluctant assistant (referred to as Assistant). The primary focus of the story is on the comedic situations and gags that arise from Sempai's ineptitude as a magician. There is no indication of any romantic relationship between Sempai and Assistant, and therefore, the concept of NTR is not applicable in this context.
NTR oficial de Magical Sempai causa estragos
El manga de comedia y ecchi «Magical Sempai» (Tejina-senpai) ha ganado una enorme repercusión en redes sociales gracias a la promoción que su adaptación a serie de anime le brindó durante su emisión en la televisión de Japón. Como algunos sabrán, el manga Magical Sempai llegó a su final en el mes de febrero del año 2021 y desde su finalización no hubo nuevas noticias importantes sobre la franquicia, hasta este momento.
NTR oficial de Magical Sempai causa estragos
En este último tiempo, la mangaka Azu, autora del popular manga Magical Sempai, ha dado de que halar en las redes sociales y foros japoneses al darse a conocer una curiosa publicación que realizó en su cuenta de «FANBOX«, una plataforma de pago en donde los artistas de internet se dedican a crear ilustraciones exclusivas para aquellas personas interesadas en acceder a esos beneficios al pagar por el «acceso».
Sin embargo, ¿Que es lo provocó que esta ilustración causara un enorme estrago para la autora del manga Magical Sempai al punto de tener que cerrar su cuenta de Twitter? Aparentemente, todo este caos fue desencadenado por una ilustración protagonizada por Senpai, la protagonista femenina de su obra.
A pesar de que no hay una versión completa de la ilustración de la waifu de Magical Sempai, tanto en la primera captura donde podremos ver cómo Senpai es rodeada por unos sujetos, como en algunos comentarios donde se expresaba enojo por una «infidelidad» al protagonista de la historia, podemos suponer que dicha ilustración tenía un enfoque de «NTR».
Este enfoque de la ilustración generó que las personas empezaran a criticar a la autora de Magical Sempai y lo que parecía ser algo que solo resultaría en críticas hacia su persona por tomar esta decisión, la controversia recayó en la elección de Azu de cerrar su cuenta de Twitter oficial con un mensaje de despedida que decía: «Borraré todo hasta ahora. Muchas gracias por todo«.
Al darse a conocer esta ilustración, algunos fanáticos «intensos» del manga Magical Sempai mostraron su descontento por esta creación de la autora de la obra. Entre estos comentarios que se han realizado, algunos señalaban que se trataba de una clase de «falta de respeto» al contenido original, y que crear contenido de este enfoque era algo «imperdonable».
El anime Magical Sempai nos sumerge en las hilarantes y torpes aventuras de un estudiante de primer año en el instituto Tanenashi. Cansado de la rutina y en busca de un club que requiera el mínimo esfuerzo, se topa con algo que nunca esperó: el Club de Magia. Pero lo que encuentra en su interior no es precisamente lo que esperaba.
Dentro de la sala del club, se encuentra una estudiante de segundo año con una apariencia encantadora y adorables gestos. Pero aquí es donde empieza la diversión, ya que nuestra protagonista, apodada «Sempai», padece un grave caso de pánico escénico. A pesar de sus mejores esfuerzos, sus trucos mágicos rara vez salen como planea, y su tendencia a meterse en situaciones embarazosas la convierte en una fuente constante de risas y sonrojos.
Aunque nuestro protagonista de primer año inicialmente no tiene ningún interés en unirse a un club de magia que parece carecer de habilidades, termina siendo arrastrado a este mundo de desastres mágicos como un nuevo miembro. A medida que se involucra más en el club, se ve arrastrado a una serie de situaciones cómicas y momentos incómodos junto a su peculiar mentora, Sempai.
A lo largo de Magical Sempai, los espectadores serán testigos de los intentos fallidos de Sempai por realizar trucos mágicos, sus desesperados esfuerzos por superar su miedo escénico y la relación única que se desarrolla entre ella y el estudiante de primer año.
Tejina Senpai mangaka harassed into deleting NTR art commission
The creator of the Tejina Senpai manga, Azu, recently released an illustration as per a commission, and its netorare theme caused the usual Internet degenerates to harass them.
For those unaware of its meaning, netorare is a Japanese term for a type of cheating where the cheater is forced and eventually likes/accepts it.
Tejina Senpai is a series about a high school girl who wants to pursue the art of magic, but is often very clumsy. The manga has since concluded and there has also been an anime adaptation.
The Tejina Senpai mangaka Azu has a SKEB account, which allows subscribers to request certain illustrations from the artist for money.
Azu recently completed a netorare-themed image featuring the main heroine of Tejina Senpai. The artist uploaded the image to their Fanbox account as well.
The idea of Tejina making the semen of other men “disappear” apparently upset individuals unable to differentiate reality from fiction, as Azu was apparently harassed over this artwork:
A Twitter user keeping track of events noted that after the mangaka drew the commission, a random individual vandalized the Wikipedia page for Tejina Senpai:
Azu deleted their Twitter account after this, and it was learned that they only deleted the commission, not their Fanbox account:
It is uncertain whether this was before or after the incident, but Azu’s Pixiv Fanbox account has the description of: “I also draw harsh stuff so only join if you approve of everything please”.
Such vitriol over harmless images seems to be an issue in both hemispheres, as there are plenty of Westerners who react just as childishly and violently over NTR and loli art.
Tejina-Senpai NTR manga created by the author itself infuriated Japanese fans
A Tejina-Senpai NTR manga? An artist emerges, releases a manga featuring a cute heroine. This manga then evolves into an equally adorable anime, amassing a considerable fanbase. The manga concludes, yet the anime remains devoid of its anticipated second season. Consequently, the author takes an unexpected turn by creating hentai content based on the original work.
This practice isn’t unique. The creator of Hinako Note followed a similar path. After a single season, the manga wrapped up, and the author now showcases hentai of the Hinako Note girls on her Fanbox. Another instance can be found in Anzu, the author of Tejina-Senpai.
There is no indication of any romantic relationship between Sempai and Assistant, and therefore, the concept of NTR is not applicable in this context. It is important to note that the concept of NTR is often used in adult-oriented media and may involve explicit scenes or content. However, "Magical Sempai" is a lighthearted and comedic series that is suitable for a general audience, and therefore, does not delve into such themes.
Tejina-Senpai NTR manga created by the author itself infuriated Japanese fans
Familiar with Tejina-Senpai? It’s an endearing anime centered around a girl aspiring to be a magician, enlisting her classmate for magic trials.
The manga and anime have a level of ecchi, but cuteness usually prevails… until the author decided to introduce heavy NTR (Netorare) elements involving Tejina-Senpai!
Through her Fanbox, we now have a Tejina-Senpai NTR manga, within her own creation, featuring the senpai engaging intimately with multiple men:
How did the Japanese fans react? Well, the reception wasn’t positive. Worth noting is that the Tejina-Senpai author had previously shared “spicier” illustrations, and this Tejina-Senpai NTR manga installment was commissioned by a paying requester (indicated by “Skeb” in the title).
“Skeb” is a platform where you can commission illustrators. The uproar was substantial. To give you an idea, the Wiki page for Tejina-Senpai even carried a description: “Tejina has physical relations with several men.”
The author got irritated and posted an update on her Fanbox, expressing her frustration over the Wiki alteration. She stated that all “characters from the original work are virgins” and that she creates explicit hentai art “for adults only.”
She faced backlash for criticizing the Wiki changes, leading her to delete her Twitter account. Many fans disliked seeing Tejina involved with men beyond her original romantic interest. Her Fanbox remains active, and she continues to post content (including the NTR pieces).
A notice on her Fanbox states that she creates “intense content” and urges only those comfortable with it to subscribe.
Now, let’s explore some Japanese reactions to this saga:
“It appears that posts are being deleted currently.”
“It would be a miracle if Yabuki-san created any adult art.”
“And seriously, the author’s tone is quite harsh. Is this only seen with female manga authors?”
“Creating official NTR content for the heroine of a romantic comedy… Seriously? This is just hilarious.”

The humor also fell flat for me, with repetitive jokes that quickly became tiresome. I had higher expectations for this show, but unfortunately, it just didn't deliver.

The characters were also poorly developed, lacking depth and substance. I found myself unable to connect with any of them, which made the entire viewing experience uninteresting and forgettable.
