Would be great if the source material wasnt about 14 year olds

I can respect that, its hilariously closer to what the author wanted to do as she revealed in a now deleted interview the editors forced her to make them young

The only sources I could find were a Tumblr post and some discussion on Reddit, which mainly referred to this post. The post is allegedly a fan translation of a Twitter Space Q&A. Allow me to quote the translated question: "The characters in this manga are middle schoolers, yet they’re surprisingly deep. Do you have any specific reason why they’re middle schoolers?" and the A to that was "One could think I do, huh. I’ve already accepted that people might think I’m a pervert who’s into lolicon and BDSM, there’s not really a lot I can do there, with Mahoako being how it is… This might sound like an excuse now, but I’m pretty sure that when I sent in the character design for Utena in the one-shot I made her 16, though really it’s a trivial difference. Then my editor said “Magical girls tend to be middle schoolers, don’t they?” and I went “Oh, yeah”, because it really is pretty common in the genre for them to be middle schoolers or younger, so I just went and bumped her down to 14, it’s not really something I care that much about." The rest of the answer was regarding the Age of Lord Enorme being 20. But yeah, I don't think that sounds like she was forced. I'm sorry for digging that up after two days, but research takes time.
