''Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice'' is a [[Spin-Off]] [[Manga]] of ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'', written by Masaki Hiramatsu and illustrated by Takashi Tensugi. It runs in the monthly magazine ''Manga Time Kirara Forward'' and features a different set of characters in a new plot separate from the [[Anime First|anime]], [[Epileptic Trees|which it may or may not]] [[Mythology Gag|have a relation to]].
''Kazumi Magica'' follows Kazumi, a young girl who wakes up in a suitcase with amnesia. Fortunately for her, she's quickly reunited with her friends, Umika and Kaoru. But when her life is in serious danger from a [[Big Creepy

Line 41:
** It should be elaborated; in the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|anime]], it's explained that "imbalanced" wishes have a type of [[Equivalent Exchange]] penalty. The greater a wish, the more likely for it to go awry or demand a cost that you can't afford. Someone apparently explained this to most of the cast beforehand, so they were careful to make their wishes aids to achieving their dreams as opposed for directly wishing for their dreams to be fulfilled. This also gives the benefit of the girls being able to take full responsibility for what happens afterwards, rather than taking in grief due to cruel fate.
** {{spoiler|Their attitude is taken from Michiru, who didn't wish for her grandmother to be cured, but to spend whatever time her grandmother has left together. She said she wanted to respect her grandmother's lifestyle. In this way, she avoided making the same mistake [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Kyoko]] made, which was to wish for followers for her dad without considering how he'd feel about it.}}
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: It's possible to have [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahoushoujo_kazumi_magica_the_innocent_malice/v01/c007/25.html two Soul Gems in the same body]. ''[[
* [[Big Bad]]: Yuuri, the mysterious magical girl. {{spoiler|She's ultimately [[Hijacked
* [[Big Eater]]: ''Everyone''.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: The "Palla di Cannone" and "Limiti Esterni" attack names are [[Gratuitous Italian|Italian]] for "Cannonball" and "Outer Limit", respectively.
Line 101:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Kazumi may have one; a [[Flash Back]] panel in the first chapter has her standing over a number of ''dead bodies''. {{spoiler|They're her clones.}}
** Chapter 10 reveals {{spoiler|''all'' the other Pleiades have one. See [[Despair Event Horizon]] and [[Psychic-Assisted Suicide]].}}
* [[Deal
* [[Death Seeker]]: {{spoiler|The Kazumi fight in Chapter 14 was two-fold: the current Kazumi did not intend to fight the clones, while the others wanted their deaths.}}
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Chapter 10 shows how each of the Pleaides - except Kazumi - went over the horizon before the story began.}}
Line 133:
** So far it can still be considered [[Lighter and Softer]] than its parent series, if only because the reader and the magical girls are already aware of the details and catches that were [[Wham! Episode|huge, horrible revelations]] to the original cast, and because [[The Power of Friendship]] is emphasized even more. It only remains to see what the death toll is to know if it really is so.
* [[Lost in Translation]]/[[Stealth Pun]]: A ''lot'' of them, most of them [[A Worldwide Punomenon|being puns on the Japanese language, characters, and pronunciation]]. See [[Meaningful Name]] and [[Mythology Gag]] for examples.
** The most notable example is the original Japanese title of Chapter 10. Kazumi's [[Magical Incantation]] in the original Japanese was "Chi-chin-purin", which is a portmanteau of "''purin''" meaning "pudding", and "''Chi-Chin-Pui''", a phrase equivalent to "Abracadabra" and other stock magical Incantations. The scanlators decided to translate it as [[Shout-Out|Bibbidi]]-[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Bobbidi]]-[[Woolseyism|Boo]]. Then the original Japanese phrase gets used in the title of Chapter 10. The scanlators simply translated the chapter title as "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", abandoning the [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]].
** Mirai Wakaba's name, which means "Future Young Leaf", gives Kazumi the idea to the name her museum, "Ashitaba (Tomorrow's Leaf) Bears". The Ashitaba plant is also in the Angelica genus, and the museum's English name is Angelica Bears.
* [[Love Triangle]]: {{spoiler|Mirai loves Saki, who loves Kazumi.}}
Line 163:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: {{spoiler|Played with; in chapter 14, Kazumi's (and the clones) eyes are shown as red colored.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Kazumi's [[Magical Incantation]] is "[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo]]".
*** [[Woolseyism|This was something added in the scanlation.]]
** Unlimited Kazumi Works.
Line 193:
* [[Wham! Episode|Wham Chapter]]: [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|As to be expected from the spin-off to the series that delivered a WHAM line every episode.]]
** Chapter 4: {{spoiler|Kyubey appears at the beginning of the chapter. The other [[Weasel Mascot]] can ''purify Soul Gems''. The witches from the first two chapters were really pseudo-witches created by imitation Grief Seeds. Yuuri reveals her name and becomes the [[Knight of Cerebus]]. And just to top it off, the chapter ends with [[Cliff Hanger|Kazumi getting an imitation Grief Seed shoved in her forehead.]]}}
** Chapter 5: {{spoiler|Kazumi learns the [[Awful Truth]] firsthand when Yuuri becomes a witch. It's confirmed that the other Pleaides Saints already knew that magical girls become witches. A flashback reveals that Yuuri wasn't really Yuuri at all, but a girl named Airi. The real Yuuri was Airi's friend who had turned into a witch and was killed by the Pleaides Saints. Airi had wished to ''become'' Yuuri and took her name and appearance in order to get revenge for Yuuri's death. ''[[Hijacked
** Chapter 8: Comparatively minor, but {{spoiler|the Soujus pull out Evil Nuts, which either implies they avert [[No Ontological Inertia]] or were created by someone other than Yuuri. [[Cliff Hanger|And then Nico becomes a witch]]}}.
** Chapter 9: {{spoiler|Mirai kills witch!Nico with one hit. Then another Nico appears, and we find the other one was actually a copy, which she demonstrates by [[The Blank|erasing the face of it's body]]. Then Kazumi is taken to Mirai's museum, and she learns that the Pleaides are turning magical girls into [[Human Popsicle|Human Popsicles]].}}
