Puella Magi Oriko Magica/YMMV


 * Considering
 * Counterpart Comparison: A number of of people have found that Oriko, Kirika, and Yuma resemble various Touhou Project characters; for example, Yuma has been noted to look like Kisume and the common depiction of Daiyousei. Meanwhile, Kirika has a number of similarities to Renko Usami, while Oriko is much like Marbiel Hearn . The artist of Oriko Magica has drawn Touhou fanart.
 * Many mistook Kirika for Sayaka in untranslated preview images.
 * And Oriko's weapon resembles
 * Epileptic Trees: Started the very moment the cover was revealed. The major topics were about when Oriko Magica takes place, and whether the new magical girls introduced in Oriko Magica
 * I Am Not Shazam: Oriko, is often confused with Yuma, the little girl with green pigtails who appears of the cover of the first volume.
 * Kick the Son of A Bitch:
 * Les Yay: Oriko and Kirika, who value each other above anyone else.
 * This, combined with, undertones Mami and Kirika's relationship.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Oriko.
 * Arguably, also
 * Even worse
 * Narm: Due to the art-style, some things are really hard to take seriously. For example, Yuma just saw her parents killed right in front of her, and she's wondering where she's going to go. It's a really sad scene, until...she makes this face (bottom right panel.)
 * Goddamnit, Madoka! You just saw, the witch familiars are attacking everyone, and you've just been separated from your friends. DON'T MAKE THAT CUTESY FACE! (bottom left)
 * Nightmare Fuel:
 * Offscreen Moment of Awesome: After the Rousing Speech by Yuma, Mami promised that they will make Kyubey pay for tricking them after they beat Oriko. But then Homura God damn it, Homura.
 * Tear Jerker:
 * Kyouko's thoughts as she thinks she's about to get killed, regretting that "it sure was a rough life" and wishing she could have had a good dream once. Her being neither happy with her life nor able to accept her own death is quite depressing.
 * The Scrappy: Some readers really don't like Yuma.
 * The Woobie: Yuma. Poor kid deserves a lot of hugs and comforting for all the trauma she's been through even before the story began.
 * This being Madoka Magica and all. It doesn't take long for Oriko and Kirika to enter Woobiedom either.
 * YMMV, for Oriko and Kirika's actions have made some readers lose sympathy for them.
