Sleepless Domain is an ongoing American webcomic and graphic novel series created by Mary Cagle and published by Hiveworks. It has been serialized online since April 6, 2015, with its chapters collected into two print volumes as of 2024. The series is set in a secluded city perpetually threatened by monsters, where young women known as magical girls are tasked with defending the population. The story centers on Undine Wells, a reserved member of a popular magical girl team, who must find a way to move forward after a devastating attack leaves her as the sole survivor of her team.
The comic has garnered attention for its character development, subversion of traditional magical girl tropes, and exploration of complex themes such as grief, trauma, and the pressures faced by young heroines. Sleepless Domain has been nominated for the Cartoonist Studio Prize, and has been published in print in both English and French.
