Synopsis of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

Madoka Kanami and Sayaka Miki are normal high school girls leading normal lives, but everything changes when they encounter Kyuubey, a magical cat-like creature, and Homura Akemi, the 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 fulfill their dreams.

However, Homura Akemi, already a magical girl, encourages them not to accept the offer, stating that it's 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.
