The world of Madoka Magica has a hidden side. But this isn’t a world of villains easily defeated by the power of friendship alone. Madoka is faced with a mysterious situation and the invitation to become a magical girl. The story starts out rather lightheartedly. Despite having many of the staples such as cute protagonists with candy colored hair and transformation scenes, a lot is done to avoid tropes and stereotypes usually associated with the genre. Puella Magi Madoka Magica is very much a subversion of the magical girl genre. The lost are not mourned here, and evil stalks the innocent. The world of magic is a world of high danger and seemingly little personal reward. If she speaks her deepest wish, she will be granted both magical powers and her wish. Yet here this girl, Homura, is and she’s fighting a rather familiar looking cat. Cats don’t offer magical powers in exchange for your deepest wish. The girl is familiar, a person from something Madoka knows must have been a dream. The story is written by Magica Quartet with the art done by Hanokage, and I cannot recommend this series enough.Ī new student transfers into first year high school student Madoka’s class. I think its safe to say that Puella Magi Madoka Magica is an international phenomenon. Release Date: (Original Japanese) Febru(English Translation) May 29, 2012
