Synopsis

Ninth-grader Mami Tomoe is not your average middle schooler. While she regularly attends Mitakihara Middle School, she also works as a magical girl—one who has made a wish in exchange for magical powers and a new duty to seek out and destroy otherworldly beings known as witches. But Mami is also a special case among magical girls—while most fight for their own sake, Mami prefers to work with others, becoming a guardian of justice who destroys any evil creatures she can find, whether it be a witch or a mere familiar. It is this selfless lack of self-interest that often distances her from other magical girls, and as a result, Mami is often lonely.

During one of her usual witch hunts, she finds a novice magical girl struggling against a particularly strong witch. After Mami lends her help, the magical girl introduces herself as Kyouko Sakura from the city of Kazamino. Impressed by Mami's skill and hospitality, Kyouko quickly requests to team up with her and become her apprentice.

Beginning as an adaptation of one of the hit anime's drama CDs, Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica: The Different Story is a tale of the relationship between two magical girls shown from an alternate perspective.

Background

Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica: The Different Story is loosely adapted from "Farewell Story," the third drama CD made from the story of Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica that covers the backstory of Mami and Kyouko.

The series was published in English as Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story by Yen Press from March 25, 2014, to October 28, 2014. It was also published in Brazilian Portuguese by NewPOP Editora.

The different gives an extended backstory for ALL OF THE CHARACTERS, art style is the same as the madoka magica manga.
It's based off on the CD 3: farewell story. drawn by hanokage, it's like a what if scenario if mami didn't die.
The characters are just as good as the original ones in madoka magica, gives more details on the relationship between kyoko and mami that was hinted in the madoka magica anime, gives details on kyoko's ENTIRE backstory, fleshes out mami's character, and gave us the mami x kyoko ship.
if your favorite characters from Madoka Magica are mami or kyoko or both, ...

Ive reread this book countless times and I honestly liked the different story more than i liked the main series. The original doesnt give you much time with any of the characters especially Mami and Kyoko. A lot of people have complained that the main series doesnt have much character backstory and that Mami was basically there just to die, but the different story fixes basically all of these problems.

I liked how it was set more in the past (despite it being an alternate universe, i still dont completely get the madoka timeline thing lol), after Kyoko just made her wish and a few months ...

20210821 - I have reread this multiple times especially Vol 1. I reread it at least once a month and Vol 1 at least once every two weeks. Sakura Kyoko is my waifu. Love you Kyoko.

All my love for Kyoko aside, the writer got the idea for this publication after the release of the Drama CD "Farewell Story". I too discovered this side story when someone commented it's existence on a webpage for translation of that Drama CD because there were some words that were out of my vocabulary. I had started liking Kyoko very much, after Drama CD, but this Manga took it to ...
