| - Following the college entrance exams, Chiyo suggests that the girls all go to Magical Land again since Yomi couldn't come the first time. Upon the insistence of Yomi, it was decided that they would go after she got back her results (she was the last one to get accepted into college), even though Tomo argued that it would be better to go before since Yomi would probably bring everybody down if she failed, which made Yomi angry. More specifically, the girls went to the amusement park on the same day that Yomi would get her results back. Thankfully for everyone, Yomi got accepted, and thus they could all go together without Yomi's fate hanging over their heads. It is mentioned in the anime that a new ride has now been built.
- The "another world" part of Trapped in Another World. It may lurk down a rabbit hole, at the bottom of a pool, over a mysterious mountain range, or through a wardrobe. What is certain is that people from other worlds will be visiting it. Usually the Magical Land is Another Dimension or time period or some sort, but it can also be a mysterious "unexplored territory", uncharted island, or Lost World, which is more common the farther you go back. (Geography marches on.) Land of Faerie is a sub trope of Magical Land. The King in the Mountain may be sleeping here. (Not necessarily under a mountain.)

| - The "another world" part of Trapped in Another World. It may lurk down a rabbit hole, at the bottom of a pool, over a mysterious mountain range, or through a wardrobe. What is certain is that people from other worlds will be visiting it. Usually the Magical Land is Another Dimension or time period or some sort, but it can also be a mysterious "unexplored territory", uncharted island, or Lost World, which is more common the farther you go back. (Geography marches on.) Land of Faerie is a sub trope of Magical Land. Constrast this with Constructed World which does not have visitors or a gateway from our world. Magical Lands are usually based on Medieval Europe, and while they may be vastly different, they usually have a couple of things in common:
* Usually feature some sort of sentient non-human species.
* Are almost always a monarchy.
* Contain magic.
* Are a Fantastic Nature Reserve for supposedly mythical creatures.
* Are relatively small compared to the "real world".
* Usually welcome young heroes from other worlds swooping in and saving the day, even if they're obviously inexperienced in using swords and sorcery and underpowered, they'll still be The Chosen One.
* Lack any technology beyond 1923, if they even got that far, even if thousands of years pass throughout its history.
* Usually have a different flow-rate for time; one year inside can be a day, hour, or even minute outside. Vulnerable to Planetville-ism. The world's version of natural laws are usually the Magical Underpinnings of Reality. The King in the Mountain may be sleeping here. (Not necessarily under a mountain.) If it's really magical, it may be Wackyland. See also Trapped in Another World. Examples of Magical Land include:
