I’m looking for magical girl manga where the girls discover and learn magic by themselves instead of it being granted through some contract

Also I don’t like ones where they have to give up the magic when they grow up because that trope is stupid and I hate it

    Magical girls as in the transformation superhero kind? Or just girls using magic?

      Well my question sounds closer to just girls using magic but theirs nothing stopping girls from just using magic to transform

      Edit: cleaned comment of grammatical error

        Ascendence of a Bookworm is a very good anime and is sourced from a manga. The main theme is not magic, but it’s an underlying and secondary theme.

      Good distinction. In my younger days when Anime choices were slimmer, I enjoyed Sailor Moon, and Nanoha. Nowadays, I can’t remember the last time I watched a transforming Magical Girl anime, I much prefer the later. Fantasy settings, magic, Isekai (…which are abundant nowadays…bordering on too abundant, but I don’t get tired of them because magic).
