Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story, Vol. 3

Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story is a manga adaptation of the mobile game of the same name, which expanded upon the critically acclaimed universe established by the 2011 anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica. This third volume continues the narrative shift to the city of Kamihama, where the protagonist Iroha Tamaki searches for her missing sister. The series maintains the dark, psychological fantasy motifs central to the franchise, balancing traditional magical girl aesthetics with the deconstructive, often somber themes synonymous with the Magica Quartet creative team.

The manga adaptation was published in English by Yen Press, aiming to capture the audience established by the original anime and its various spin-offs. The design and visual storytelling aim to translate the game's character-heavy narrative into a cohesive print format, utilizing a distinct art style that remains faithful to the established character designs of the series. Upon its release, the volume was received as a key entry for fans looking to follow the expanded lore of the franchise beyond the original animated television series.
