----------------------------------------
I've now read chapter 2 in the April Kirara Forward, and so far this isn't meeting my expectations at all. It's essentially indistinguishable from most of the other "cute girl" stories in the issue. There's no edginess at all. (And it's not like Kirara Forward doesn't publish edgy stories - after all, Yumekui Merry is in it.)

If the anime were like this I wouldn't have lasted more that two episodes. As is, since I am buying Kirara Forward for Yumekui Merry I'll continue to read MSKM, just in case it improves, but at this point I am less than impressed.

It is cliche, indeed. I am disappointed so far and I was hoping for something equal to Madoka.

Chapter 2 felt so similar to Pretty Cure. Nothing interesting. It is trying to add some loli fanservice to attract certain people.

At least there are terms from Madoka. (I liked the Madoka reference too.)

I'm still not sure if this is set in the same world as Madoka or in an alternate one. On one hand, the magical girl system seems to work the same, but on the other hand, witches aren't born the same way as far as I can tell. Also, the magical girls called Kyuubey a fairy . :/

The manga itself sucks so far, but it's not outright annoying enough for me to mind reading a chapter a month. Seems like this series sucked up all the happy fun-time moe Madoka gave up on by the third episode and added some extra fanservice a la the Glittering Crux from Star Driver (those outfits...) for the heck of it.

The only redeeming thing about this is the Madoka reference...
I every chapter is going to be like this I'll be so disappointed. I had hopes for this :/

Well now it's starting to show some connections to Madoka...by referencing how the system works and putting silhouettes of Madoka and Kyubey. But that's about it, the way witches work in this are weird.

Also, the designs for the other 2 girl's Puella Magi outfits are so bland and boring.

Fanservice-wise, please spare me from the gong of headaches but as for the lighter story, I quite love it with spades.

Chill up guys, I know things like this can go with an abrupt change later on.

I guess i'm the only one that mostly likes this so far. How the heck are normal people becoming witches? That doesn't make any sense. I can't wait to hear the explanation for it. I figured Kazumi's wish would be a mystery for now. I'm sure it's somehow important to all the events that have happened so far. Maybe that other magical girl has something to do with it?

Nice to Madoka and Kyuubey there during the explanation part. Surely Kyuubey is going to show up in this series at some point.

We're still in introductions. If this were an anime, it would probably still be episode 1.
