Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki live ordinary lives as middle‑school girls, yet everything shifts when they meet Kyuubey, a feline‑shaped magical familiar, and Homura Akemi, the recently arrived transfer student in school.
Kyuubey presents them with a deal: he will bestow one of their wishes, and in return each will transform into a magical girl, acquiring the strength needed to realize desires.
Yet Homura Akemi, already a magical girl, cautions them against accepting the pact, insisting that reality is more deceptive than it appears.
Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica weaves a tale of hope, sorrow, and camaraderie, exploring the trials of being a magical girl and the heavy unseen cost one must bear to turn dreams into reality.
