Creating a time duplicate was the best application of her powers that Homu ever learned. It let her double her pleasure and double her fun. Kyouko looks a little nonplussed though.

Well it's photoshopped. Twas originally Madoka but somebody edited her to be Kyouko instead.

[up][up] Who would have thought that both Kyouko and Madoka would have the same hesitance towards a Homu three-way?

You know that whole time clone is a good idea....now if only we can avoid paradoxes.

Dengeki Playstation stuff should be out in the next couple of days, so we'll know whether or not Kyouko's witch form is in it or not soon. To be honest, though, I think they should have kept it all a secret and only drop some hints like they did earlier. The fanplosion would have been amusing.

wild mass guess Kyouko's witch form will resemble an angry unicorn, surrounded by church imagery, and dropping apples everywhere. wild mass guess

Feel free to look around.

This is primarily the product of two other fandoms, but something relevant to this one and fairly epic happens about twelve seconds in

I don't care for Touhou... but the other fandom included just made me ecstatically happy (of course).

There's not enough crossover in regular fandom, though. =I Only Yuri Giygas.

What a unusual enemy. His saying of contracts make me feel like I should sign one.

(did he actually have any attacks?)

And woo for Touhou Mother. One of those games on my "I gotta play this later" list.

Does anyone know when Dengeki Plastation will be out? I mean, if they showed Mami's Witch, there's no doubt they would show Kyouko's Witch. Now Homura's Witch . . . .

[up]Through bizarrely meticulous research, I discovered it comes out on the 26th. I'm still positive they'll never show Homura's. And I dunno, I'm having doubts it'll be in this issue... who knows.

It's a small slow news patch right now. I'm currently wondering if some 2ch anon will edit together voice clips from Rune Factory 4 when it comes out to make MadoHomu love scenes/confessions... Oh, the joys of easily exploited quotes. (Unless they have a Best Friends option, in which case ALL BETS ARE OFF)

Spoilers for Kazumi chapter 13, also known as The Chapter Where An Outlandish Theory From Way Back When The Story First Started Actually Turns Out To Be True (Much Like How People Guessed That Homura Was A Time Traveler, Like, Immediately After Episode 1 Somehow)

  • Here's the first three or so pages, featuring Satomi reading Saki's mind and also some very very spoilery dialogue if you can read Japanese.

  • Kazumi already became a witch around when the Pleiades saw Yuuri become one.
    • The current 'Kazumi' is the Pleiades' 13th attempt to revive the original one. The purification experiments they're carrying out in the Freezer are a stepping-stone toward this.
      • The mystery of the witch-hatted figures in Kazumi's flashbacks is solved: they're the clones that came before her. Pictured here.
        • The original Kazumi, whose memories Umika presumably gave to the clone in the previous chapters, was actually named Michiru Kazusa (和紗ミチル). 'Kazumi' can be read with the kanji for '13', and I think it also might've been her nickname when she was alive (as in Kazusa Michiru)?
          • The title, "Malefica Farce", refers to Kazumi essntially being a human shell with a witch's insides stuffed into it. (A farce is a kind of stuffing, as Myssa Rei pointed out one page ago.) This is why her Soul Gem looks like a Grief Seed.

  • Saki has some kind of teleportation ability. After Satomi mind-controls her into using it, her hair inexplicably becomes longer. I think.
    • Also at one point Satomi whips out this big cat-headed sword and Saki throws it at someone. (Pictured here, along with... um, someone from Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure for comparison, I think. J-just ignore that bit.)
      • Also at some point Saki kicks Kaoru in the face like so.

Explains why they're talking about killing Kazumi. So how are they making these duplicates again?

[up] I think I read that they're using bodies from the Freezer and having Nico reconstruct them into Kazumi clones, but I'm not entirely sure...

edit: Ah, on closer inspection it seems like that big brainy-looking thing behind Satomi on this page is a sort of proto-Kazumi baby thing. I think they made it from... uh, "witch meat" or something? Not sure.

It's full of loli fanservice.

I happen to like it, but other people's opinions can (and do) vary wildly.

The first couple chapters are kind of convoluted and rushed, and at first glance it looks like something entirely unrelated to Madoka. Once the main plot gets rolling around chapter 4, though, things become less comedic and more interesting very quickly. ...At least, in my opinion.

The paneling is also pretty messy at times, which can make it hard to tell exactly what's going on unless you're looking real closely.

edit: [up] Also yeah, this, oh my goodness. It's a trainwreck.

There's a lot of fanservice, the artstyle makes the action scenes difficult to follow, there's an incredibly jarring food theme, and too many secondary characters to keep track of. And the overall quality of the writing (not the plot itself) just isn't that high

On the plus side, the plot has a good number of twists
