A Comprehensive Madoka Magica Round Up

It’s a magical girl summer! Specifically, a Madoka Magica summer. With the long-awaited release of Walpurgisnacht: Rising coming at the end of August, there’s no better time to dive back into the series. While some might take this as a chance to rewatch the anime and the previous movie, here at Yen Press, we’ve decided to do a comprehensive roundup (as of time of writing!) of all the various Madoka Magica manga published over the years.

Buckle up: There are a lot.
 
STARTING WITH THE BASICS: The hit anime and its movie sequel, now in manga form!

When a new girl joins her class, Madoka Kaname thinks she recognizes the mysterious, dark-haired transfer student…from a dream where Madoka is approached by a diminutive critter with an offer to change destiny. Madoka had always thought magic was the stuff of fantasy…until she sees the transfer student fighting with that very animal! And just like in Madoka’s dream, the creature gives her a choice. Will Madoka become a magical girl in exchange for fulfilling her dearest desire? What will be the cost of having her wish come true?
