In this short manga of Madoka Magica we explore the life and death of a small group of magical girls. Suzune is responsible for the murder on a few girls and when shes confronted Arisa a fight breaks out. From this point on the girls meet and fight trying to find out why Suzune would do those things who she is and who the other characters are. It should be noted that this work isnt meant to function on its own its more an extra story for fans who are still waiting for the fourth Madoka movie or want more content from this franchise in general. This manga follows the themes of justice revenge and despair despair is always a theme in the madokaverse but you know by exploring each characters wish. We see the past of all the girls from a bullied girl from an envious sister a blind girl a girl who lost her parents to witches a girl who was abused by her father and a girl whose mother left. The small cast makes it easy to create a clear dynamic between all the characters in that small amount of chapters. we get nice fights with simple magical powers. I did not like the costumes of this magical girl group and the character design wasnt all that great either but nothing horrendous either. The characters themselves were built as good as Madoka Magica characters should be and I did like each girls backstory they were as tragic and yet simple as Im used to as a Madoka fan. One of the things that stood out to me and that makes it different from Madoka Magica is that we are thrown into the story right off the bat. Theres no long build up about what magical girls are what they do or who Kyubey is. We do get the informations but only around the second half of the manga. After the first important event we are confronted with each character to make us understand what they are like who they were and who they have become up to this point. The end is probably one of the less expected things parts of the shows as it more or less destroyed Suzunes character to make space for a different girl. I did enjoy reading this manga and dont think that it should have been any longer the end wouldnt have stuck as much if we had passed too much time on any of the major characters than it was. Im happy to have taken the time to read it and would recommend Madoka fans to at least take a look at it its very different from the original show but not in a bad way. Thats it with my review I hope you enjoyed the manga.
