A horrifying combination of ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' and ''VideoGame/SilentHill'' coupled together with the MagicalGirl Genre. ''Mahou Shoujo of the End'' or ''Magical Girls of the End'' is a horror manga written by Sato Kentaro in 2012, and licensed in the US as ''Magical Girl Apocalypse'' in 2014.
The story revolves around Kii Kogami, who lives a dull high school life with his bullied childhood friend. One day, a monstrous magical girl appears and [[KillEmAll kills nearly everyone in the school]], [[TheVirus turning their dead corpses into zombies.]] With a few survivors throughout the city, Kogami escapes the school as the Mahou Shoujo and their undead minions take over the city.
Compare ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and ''Anime/ElfenLied'' for stories about as dark. The author, Sato Kentaro, has another manga, ''Manga/MahouShoujoSite''...

!!Tropes include:
* AgonyOfTheFeet: When Kii loses his shoes but must keep going on the rocky ground, he eventually passes out from blood loss and infections on his lacerated feet.
* AlienSky: A giant pentagram appears in the sky as Kii and the survivors flee the school. It shatters, releasing hundreds of Magical Girls.
* AnyoneCanDie: And they do. [[{{Gorn}} Horribly.]]
* ApocalypseAnarchy: Akuta declares that since the world's ending, he can kill and rape to his heart's content.
* AxCrazy: Akuta. He doesn't even care about everything that is happening.
* BadPowersBadPeople: Many of the Magical Girls have powers not typically related to magical girls (not to mention [[ZombieApocalypse necromancy]]). The very first one immediately proceeds to blow up several people with a mere touch of her wand, and most others are no better: one causes gruesome deformities, at least one makes [[YourHeadAsplode heads go boom]], one has been seen spraying poison gas, one sends out razor waves and one is even capable of [[spoiler:[[PuppeteerParasite possession]]]]. There's also a [[OneSceneWonder One-Panel Wonder]] (if she can be called that...) MG that looks like a character from an 8-bit videogame who shoots a gun that [[FlayingAlive rips the skin off of people]].
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler:Akuta is able to use Mahou Shoujo's wands against Mahou Shoujos to great effect. Nobody else has tried it, so it is unclear whether it is only him or whether anybody could do it. It might be because he has come in contact with a destroyed Mahou Shoujo's remains.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler:Beware Tsukune.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Tsukune is shaping up to be one. In her introduction she is seen as a victim of bullying and a very shy girl. Later on, Sayano tells Kii that she was being forced by Tsukune into bullying her so that Tsukune could make Kii pity her. When they go back in time, Kii also finds pictures of the magical girls in Tsukune's room ten years before the start of series.]]
* BodyHorror: In later chapters, one Magical Girl dressed like a nurse can be seen using her wand to switch people's limbs around. [[FateWorseThanDeath Several of her victims are seen laying on the ground because they are unable to move their deformed bodies, screaming for her to change them back.]]
* BringMyBrownPants: In the first chapter, Tsukune wets herself after a magical girl massacres everyone inside the classroom except her and Kii.
* [[TheBully The Bullies]]: Sayano and Miki, whose first appearance in the story has them dunking Tsukune's head in a bucket of dirty mop water. [[spoiler: Given what Kii finds out after traveling to the past, this may be an InvokedTrope on Tsukune's part...]]
* CassandraTruth: [[spoiler: When Sayano first tells Kii about [[BitchInSheepsClothing Tsukune's true nature]], he doesn't believe her, thinking she was making it up to get him to like her. However, after being sent ten years into the past and finding drawings and dolls of the Magical Girls in Tsukune's room, Kii seems to start believing Sayano.]]
* CatchPhrase: "Magical..." for Magical Girls, bordering on PokemonSpeak. [[spoiler:Only the Parasite Mahou Shoujo is capable of normal speak, by using her host's body.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Akuta the pervert cop, literally. He becomes instrumental in destroying the parasite Mahou Shoujo as he is the only one in the building who is actually good with a gun. He also becomes a major protagonist, [[VillainProtagonist if you can even call him that]].]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Akuta seems to be headed that way. He's still quite a creeper, but at least he seems to be trying to earn "Titty-chan's" love by protecting her, despite having several devastating weapons he could threaten her with, like he did with his gun during his first introduction.
** [[spoiler:When we first meet Akuta, we see he had raped and murdered several women. This is just his debut. All of his actions eventually lead up to a moment when, after traveling to the past, he charges at a child version of Yoruka with the manga suggesting heavily that he intended to rape her too. Again, he intended to rape and kill a prepubescent girl.]] Calling him a 'chivalrous' pervert certainly is...tough, to say the least. The manga does try to show off a better side of him, though.
* CrossOver: A [[http://mangaeng.com/truyen/mahou-shoujo-of-the-end-vs-hakaijuu-vs-versus-earth/ four-chapter one]] between MSOTE, [[http://www.mangatank.com/manga/hakaiju Hakaiju]] and [[http://animanga.wikia.com/wiki/VS_Earth Versus Earth]], all published in Shounen Champion. Murderous magical girls, Lovecraftian creatures and grotesque space aliens... Japan is pretty much screwed.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:Akuta. A disgusting pervert and not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's a superb shot and becomes even more competent when he becomes able to use wands.]]
* CuteMute: Himeji.
* DysfunctionalFamily: [[spoiler:Kii's family.]]
* DomesticAbuser: Kii's father
* EnemyCivilWar: [[spoiler:Shockingly, the ''Mahou Shoujos'' are undergoing this.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: The newly-risen zombies' clothes shift into black tatters very similar to the Magical Girls' costumes.
* ElegantGothicLolita: The Magical Girls that are not horrendously deformed look like little Victorian dolls.
* EliteMooks: The Magical Girls are by no means "mooks" even in and of themselves, [[spoiler:but the Summoner Girl can upgrade them even further by means of her staff.]]
* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs: Sayano, [[spoiler: which apparently Kii gave to her during their childhood.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even the Possession Girl thinks Akuta is complete shit when he tries to join the Magical Girl's side out of desperation.
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Himeji.]]
* FlunkyBoss: The six-armed Mahou Shoujo is able to summon and even resurrect other Mahou Shoujos. [[spoiler:And buff them!]]
* GodzillaThreshold: The survivors realize that Akuta may be a piece of shit, but he's their best hope for survival.
* {{Gonk}}[=/=]NonstandardCharacterDesign: Akuta the policeman is more simply drawn/cartoonish than everyone else. Two {{otaku}} met by Kii [[spoiler:back in 2002]] are pretty Gonk-ish too.
* {{Gorn}}
* GravitySucks: One of the Mahou Shoujo specializes in drawing victims towards her. She also has an "inverted" twin that specializes in [[BlownAcrossTheRoom violently blasting victims away]].
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: Various Mahou Shoujos undergo this. Notably the Explode, Attraction/Refraction, and Parasite Mahou Shoujos.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Sayano, who was initially perceived as a bully but is in fact in love with Kii and ''was apparently only a bully because Tsukune forced her to'' in an attempt to draw Kii's attention to herself. In light of recent events there is gradually less and less evidence to disbelieve that claim, too.]]
** A lot of people, in fact, considering how much backstory starts getting revealed from [[spoiler:the trip to the past]] and onwards.
** Possibly even [[spoiler:Akuta]].
* HumanoidAbomination: Every single Magical Girl.
* ImplacableMan: Magical Girls are barely phased by being killed, as they regenerate too fast for it to be an effective tactic. [[spoiler:If you break their wands, however...]]
* {{Kaiju}}: An enormous Mahou Shoujo that looks like an anime from the 60s, with an upside-down head, wielding a fountain pen, than can throw trucks and swat down helicopters like they're nothing. It also appears to grow larger.
* KillItWithFire: The little dog of the second Mahou Shoujo is able to vomit powerful fireballs.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Akuta is surprised that [[spoiler:some Mahou Shoujo have transformed into a stronger form]], the Parasite Mahou Shoujo comments:
-->''Don't you even know the basic fact that Mahou Shoujo are meant to [[spoiler:transform]]? Watch some anime, [[PrecisionFStrike you piece of shit]].''
* LoveConfession: [[spoiler: Sayano]] to Kii.
* MagicWand: The first Mahou Shoujo encountered has a very nasty-looking wand that looks more technological than actually magical. Has what seems to be a bundle of sticks of TNT arranged around it, which is pretty fitting considering that the thing is primarily used to make people and things [[StuffBlowingUp go boom]]. Others also wield staves and wands that are no less horrifying. [[spoiler:Apparently, wands are the source of Mahou Shoujo's powers and breaking a wand results in the permanent death of its Mahou Shoujo. Also, the ability of the Mahou Shoujos to raise the dead seems to be linked to the wands.]]
* MagicalGirl: The bad guys of this series. All of them are capable of horrific death and destruction, and every person they kill becomes a zombie. They are also {{Humanoid Abomination}}s who can only be truly killed by destroying their wands.
* MegaManning: [[spoiler:Akuta can gain the power of any Magical Girl by taking their wands.]]
* MsFanservice: Yoruka Hanzawa and her gigantic breasts. Akuta becomes completely obsessed with her, and with ''them''.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: one of the Mahou Shoujos has six arms. Four of them hold weapons that look like a cross between an axe and a scepter, and in the last two she holds a staff, which is presumably her "wand". The main weapons are used for summoning Mahou Shoujos, while the staff [[spoiler:empowers them]].
* {{Necromancer}}: the Mahou Shoujos have the ability to raise the dead, [[spoiler:but apparently only through physical contact with their wands.]]
** And then there's the Mahou Shoujo with the power to raise other Mahou Shoujos from the dead.
* NighInvulnerable: the [[spoiler:Parasite]] Mahou Shoujo's skin is impenetrable. Her [[AttackItsWeakpoint weak point]] is her eyes, but good luck hitting them, considering that if she blinks, it won't work. [[spoiler:Made doubly hard since her ''hosts'' are not NighInvulnerable, and if you hit the host, you kill an innocent person.]]
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Miki]] gets her head punched off of her shoulders by [[spoiler:a little girl possessed by the Parasite Mahou Shoujo]]. To add insult to injury, the head falls into a ramen bowl.
* OrdinaryHighschoolStudent: Before the ZombieApocalypse, Kii led a rather dull life as a highschool freshman.
* OurLichesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:The Magical Girls have distinctly lich-like abilities. A Magical Girl cannot be permanently killed unless its wand is destroyed (so the wand acts as a phylanctery of sorts). In addition, they are also necromancers.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Kii's parents have both committed suicide, his mother as a result of abuse from his father, and his father in his prison cell after getting caught committing robbery. The turmoil in his family is the reason why Kii [[IJustWantToBeNormal just wants to have a normal boring life]].]]
* PuppeteerParasite: [[spoiler:One of the Mahou Shoujos has this as her power. The people she controls have their physical strength enhanced dramatically. Since she takes control of the brain to do so, this Mahou Shoujo is able to speak and reason using the host's intelligence.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: When Kii travels to the past, he finds drawings of all the Magical Girls in young Tsukune's room.]]
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler: Natsuki, the girl Kii has a crush on, dies in the first chapter.]]
* SayItWithHearts: And stars, arrows, and other symbols. They're magical girls, after all.
* ShoutOut: A few, curiously not to other ZombieApocalypse stories. Franchise/{{Godzilla}} is name-dropped by Akuta when witnessing the devastation made by the giant Magical girl, and he also mentions [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor John Titor]] when [[spoiler:he, Kii and others travel back in time to 2002]]. During the [[spoiler:time travel arc]] {{Music/KyaryPamyuPamyu}} and {{Music/AKB48}} are also name-dropped, just to make sure that [[spoiler:the characters are not in 2012 anymore]].
* SkewedPriorities: When Akuta [[spoiler:gets his entire arm blasted off by an upgraded Magical Girl]], he comments that he won't be able to [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbate]] like this. That's only one out of many, many similar moments on his part.
* SoulJar: [[spoiler:If a Mahou Shoujo's wand is destroyed, she disintegrates.]]
* StuffBlowingUp: If you get hit by the wand of the first Mahou Shoujo encountered, you will violently and messily explode. [[spoiler:After getting empowered by the Summoner Mahou Shoujo, she gains the ability to do so remotely.]]
* TimeTravel: [[spoiler:One of the Mahou Shoujos fires blasts that apparently rip through spacetime (or so Kii puts it), and those who get hit by them are suddenly sent back 10 years into the past, all the way back to the year 2002. Some try to get R&R from the situation and others explore their past childhood experiences. It's not long before the effect wears off and they go back to the present, though.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: Akuta.
* TheUnfettered: Akuta finds himself liking what happened to the world after the Mahou Shoujo invasion, since without law and order, there is nothing to stop him from doing whatever he wants. That being mainly sexually molesting women.
* WhatYearIsThis: [[spoiler:Kii asks this when teleported back to 2002.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: According to the color inserts, Tsukune has aqua hair.
* ZombieApocalypse: Anyone gets killed by a magical girl gets reincarnated as a zombie.
* ZombieGait: Averted. Those slain by Magical Girls can run and have a degree of SuperStrength.

* CassandraTruth: [[spoiler: When Sayano first tells Kii about [[BitchInSheepsClothing Tsukune's true nature]], he doesn't believe her, thinking she was making it up to get him to like her. However, after being sent ten years into the past and finding drawings and dolls of the Magical Girls in Tsukune's room, Kii seems to start believing Sayano.]]
* CatchPhrase: "Magical..." for Magical Girls, bordering on PokemonSpeak. [[spoiler:Only the Parasite Mahou Shoujo is capable of normal speak, by using her host's body.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Akuta the pervert cop, literally. He becomes instrumental in destroying the parasite Mahou Shoujo as he is the only one in the building who is actually good with a gun. He also becomes a major protagonist, [[VillainProtagonist if you can even call him that]].]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Akuta seems to be headed that way. He's still quite a creeper, but at least he seems to be trying to earn "Titty-chan's" love by protecting her, despite having several devastating weapons he could threaten her with, like he did with his gun during his first introduction.
** [[spoiler:When we first meet Akuta, we see he had raped and murdered several women. This is just his debut. All of his actions eventually lead up to a moment when, after traveling to the past, he charges at a child version of Yoruka with the manga suggesting heavily that he intended to rape her too. Again, he intended to rape and kill a prepubescent girl.]] Calling him a 'chivalrous' pervert certainly is...tough, to say the least. The manga does try to show off a better side of him, though.
* CrossOver: A [[http://mangaeng.com/truyen/mahou-shoujo-of-the-end-vs-hakaijuu-vs-versus-earth/ four-chapter one]] between MSOTE, [[http://www.mangatank.com/manga/hakaiju Hakaiju]] and [[http://animanga.wikia.com/wiki/VS_Earth Versus Earth]], all published in Shounen Champion. Murderous magical girls, Lovecraftian creatures and grotesque space aliens... Japan is pretty much screwed.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:Akuta. A disgusting pervert and not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's a superb shot and becomes even more competent when he becomes able to use wands.]]
* CuteMute: Himeji.
* DysfunctionalFamily: [[spoiler:Kii's family.]]
* DomesticAbuser: Kii's father
* EnemyCivilWar: [[spoiler:Shockingly, the ''Mahou Shoujos'' are undergoing this.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: The newly-risen zombies' clothes shift into black tatters very similar to the Magical Girls' costumes.
* ElegantGothicLolita: The Magical Girls that are not horrendously deformed look like little Victorian dolls.
* EliteMooks: The Magical Girls are by no means "mooks" even in and of themselves, [[spoiler:but the Summoner Girl can upgrade them even further by means of her staff.]]
* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs: Sayano, [[spoiler: which apparently Kii gave to her during their childhood.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even the Possession Girl thinks Akuta is complete shit when he tries to join the Magical Girl's side out of desperation.
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Himeji.]]
* FlunkyBoss: The six-armed Mahou Shoujo is able to summon and even resurrect other Mahou Shoujos. [[spoiler:And buff them!]]
* GodzillaThreshold: The survivors realize that Akuta may be a piece of shit, but he's their best hope for survival.
* {{Gonk}}[=/=]NonstandardCharacterDesign: Akuta the policeman is more simply drawn/cartoonish than everyone else. Two {{otaku}} met by Kii [[spoiler:back in 2002]] are pretty Gonk-ish too.
* {{Gorn}}
* GravitySucks: One of the Mahou Shoujo specializes in drawing victims towards her. She also has an "inverted" twin that specializes in [[BlownAcrossTheRoom violently blasting victims away]].
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: Various Mahou Shoujos undergo this. Notably the Explode, Attraction/Refraction, and Parasite Mahou Shoujos.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Sayano, who was initially perceived as a bully but is in fact in love with Kii and ''was apparently only a bully because Tsukune forced her to'' in an attempt to draw Kii's attention to herself. In light of recent events there is gradually less and less evidence to disbelieve that claim, too.]]
** A lot of people, in fact, considering how much backstory starts getting revealed from [[spoiler:the trip to the past]] and onwards.
** Possibly even [[spoiler:Akuta]].
* HumanoidAbomination: Every single Magical Girl.
* ImplacableMan: Magical Girls are barely phased by being killed, as they regenerate too fast for it to be an effective tactic. [[spoiler:If you break their wands, however...]]
* {{Kaiju}}: An enormous Mahou Shoujo that looks like an anime from the 60s, with an upside-down head, wielding a fountain pen, than can throw trucks and swat down helicopters like they're nothing. It also appears to grow larger.
* KillItWithFire: The little dog of the second Mahou Shoujo is able to vomit powerful fireballs.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Akuta is surprised that [[spoiler:some Mahou Shoujo have transformed into a stronger form]], the Parasite Mahou Shoujo comments:
-->''Don't you even know the basic fact that Mahou Shoujo are meant to [[spoiler:transform]]? Watch some anime, [[PrecisionFStrike you piece of shit]].''
* LoveConfession: [[spoiler: Sayano]] to Kii.
* MagicWand: The first Mahou Shoujo encountered has a very nasty-looking wand that looks more technological than actually magical. Has what seems to be a bundle of sticks of TNT arranged around it, which is pretty fitting considering that the thing is primarily used to make people and things [[StuffBlowingUp go boom]]. Others also wield staves and wands that are no less horrifying. [[spoiler:Apparently, wands are the source of Mahou Shoujo's powers and breaking a wand results in the permanent death of its Mahou Shoujo. Also, the ability of the Mahou Shoujos to raise the dead seems to be linked to the wands.]]
* MagicalGirl: The bad guys of this series. All of them are capable of horrific death and destruction, and every person they kill becomes a zombie. They are also {{Humanoid Abomination}}s who can only be truly killed by destroying their wands.
* MegaManning: [[spoiler:Akuta can gain the power of any Magical Girl by taking their wands.]]
* MsFanservice: Yoruka Hanzawa and her gigantic breasts. Akuta becomes completely obsessed with her, and with ''them''.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: one of the Mahou Shoujos has six arms. Four of them hold weapons that look like a cross between an axe and a scepter, and in the last two she holds a staff, which is presumably her "wand". The main weapons are used for summoning Mahou Shoujos, while the staff [[spoiler:empowers them]].
* {{Necromancer}}: the Mahou Shoujos have the ability to raise the dead, [[spoiler:but apparently only through physical contact with their wands.]]
** And then there's the Mahou Shoujo with the power to raise other Mahou Shoujos from the dead.
* NighInvulnerable: the [[spoiler:Parasite]] Mahou Shoujo's skin is impenetrable. Her [[AttackItsWeakpoint weak point]] is her eyes, but good luck hitting them, considering that if she blinks, it won't work. [[spoiler:Made doubly hard since her ''hosts'' are not NighInvulnerable, and if you hit the host, you kill an innocent person.]]
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Miki]] gets her head punched off of her shoulders by [[spoiler:a little girl possessed by the Parasite Mahou Shoujo]]. To add insult to injury, the head falls into a ramen bowl.
* OrdinaryHighschoolStudent: Before the ZombieApocalypse, Kii led a rather dull life as a highschool freshman.
* OurLichesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:The Magical Girls have distinctly lich-like abilities. A Magical Girl cannot be permanently killed unless its wand is destroyed (so the wand acts as a phylanctery of sorts). In addition, they are also necromancers.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Kii's parents have both committed suicide, his mother as a result of abuse from his father, and his father in his prison cell after getting caught committing robbery. The turmoil in his family is the reason why Kii [[IJustWantToBeNormal just wants to have a normal boring life]].]]
* PuppeteerParasite: [[spoiler:One of the Mahou Shoujos has this as her power. The people she controls have their physical strength enhanced dramatically. Since she takes control of the brain to do so, this Mahou Shoujo is able to speak and reason using the host's intelligence.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: When Kii travels to the past, he finds drawings of all the Magical Girls in young Tsukune's room.]]
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler: Natsuki, the girl Kii has a crush on, dies in the first chapter.]]
* SayItWithHearts: And stars, arrows, and other symbols. They're magical girls, after all.
* ShoutOut: A few, curiously not to other ZombieApocalypse stories. Franchise/{{Godzilla}} is name-dropped by Akuta when witnessing the devastation made by the giant Magical girl, and he also mentions [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor John Titor]] when [[spoiler:he, Kii and others travel back in time to 2002]]. During the [[spoiler:time travel arc]] {{Music/KyaryPamyuPamyu}} and {{Music/AKB48}} are also name-dropped, just to make sure that [[spoiler:the characters are not in 2012 anymore]].
* SkewedPriorities: When Akuta [[spoiler:gets his entire arm blasted off by an upgraded Magical Girl]], he comments that he won't be able to [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbate]] like this. That's only one out of many, many similar moments on his part.
* SoulJar: [[spoiler:If a Mahou Shoujo's wand is destroyed, she disintegrates.]]
* StuffBlowingUp: If you get hit by the wand of the first Mahou Shoujo encountered, you will violently and messily explode. [[spoiler:After getting empowered by the Summoner Mahou Shoujo, she gains the ability to do so remotely.]]
* TimeTravel: [[spoiler:One of the Mahou Shoujos fires blasts that apparently rip through spacetime (or so Kii puts it), and those who get hit by them are suddenly sent back 10 years into the past, all the way back to the year 2002. Some try to get R&R from the situation and others explore their past childhood experiences. It's not long before the effect wears off and they go back to the present, though.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: Akuta.
* TheUnfettered: Akuta finds himself liking what happened to the world after the Mahou Shoujo invasion, since without law and order, there is nothing to stop him from doing whatever he wants. That being mainly sexually molesting women.
* WhatYearIsThis: [[spoiler:Kii asks this when teleported back to 2002.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: According to the color inserts, Tsukune has aqua hair.
* ZombieApocalypse: Anyone gets killed by a magical girl gets reincarnated as a zombie.
* ZombieGait: Averted. Those slain by Magical Girls can run and have a degree of SuperStrength.
