Synopsis of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

Madoka Kanami and Sayaka Miki are normal high school girls with normal lives, but that all changes when they encounter Kyuubey, a magical cat-like creature, and Homura Akemi, a new transfer student. Kyuubey offers them a proposition: he will grant any of their wishes, and in exchange, each of them will become a magical girl (mahou shoujo), gaining the power to make their dreams come true.

However, Homura Akemi, who is already a magical girl, encourages them not to accept the offer, stating that it is not as good as it seems. This is a story of hope, despair and friendship, about the difficulties of becoming and being a magical girl, and the great price that must be paid to realize a dream.
