thinks she recognizes the mysterious, dark-haited transfer
student from one of her dreams.:.a dream where she'is approached by
a catlike creature who offers Madoka an opportunity to change destiny.
Madoka had alwaysithought magic was the stuff of fantasy...until she
sees the transfer student fighting with the very cat being from her dream! |
And just like in Madoka’s dream, the cat gives her a choiee. Will Madoka
become a magical girl in exchange for her dearest desire?
What will be the cost of having her wish come true?
