Synopsis of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Madoka Kanami and Sayaka Miki are regular high school girls with regular lives, but all that changes when they encounter Kyuubey, a magical cat-like creature, and Homura Akemi, the new transfer student. Kyuubey offers them a proposal: he will grant any of her wishes and, in exchange, each of them will become a magical girl (mahou shoujo), gaining the power to fulfill her dreams.
However, Homura Akemi, who is already a magical girl, urges them not to accept the offer, stating that it is not as good as it sounds. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is a story of hope, desperation and friendship, about the difficulties of becoming and being a magical girl, and the great price that must be paid to make a dream come true.
