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?

      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).

      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.
