Full-time cartoonist - #360 - Chapter 357 The End of

“The manga “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is so interesting, I have been following it.”

In a classroom in Tokyo Middle School, everyone was discussing “Madoka” in a lively manner, which made Shinomiya Gouya curious. He bought the single volume and read it all night. Then he borrowed previous issues of “Weekly Shōnen Jump” from a friend and read the 23rd chapter of “Madoka”.

In the manga, Madoka makes a wish to destroy the witch.

This means that Madoka will fight forever in the future and in the past.

She will continue to eliminate witches and bear the corresponding despair and curses.

The never-ending concept of being a witch of destruction is fixed in this universe.

“If you want to have hope, you will definitely face an equal amount of despair. This is the rule of the Madoka universe. Now Madoka is here to take on all this. How gentle she is.”

“”If someone tells me that it is wrong to have hope, I will answer ‘not like that’ countless times.” Engami said this gently…”

“It makes me want to cry. I will keep watching Madoka’s fight.”

“Ha~” Mingjiu looked at him, “Shinomiya-kun, I agree with what you said. Madoka is really great, and her tolerance is touching. But…”

“But what?”

“”Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is coming to an end.”

“Eh?”

The noble man of the fourth house was stupid.

“It’s… it’s over?”

…

Madoka will bear it, Madoka will bear it, the curse of the magical girl.

The timelines of Sakura Kyoko and Tomoe Mami, who died because of the witch, were reset, and they came back to life, sitting together and chatting.

This is a very ordinary picture, but it makes many readers want to cry.

This is what Madoka accepted, and it was the last moment of warmth.

“Madoka has become the hope of magical girls…”

For many readers, the comic finally transcended itself, moving away from concepts of hope and despair and reaching a higher realm.

They originally thought Madoka’s wish was either to resurrect her former companions, to solve the Witch Night, or to unlock the restraints of Akatsuki Homura…

“Our situation is too small.”

Madoka focuses on a higher place, not just her friends, the earth, or the universe, but the despair and curse of all witches in the past and future.

“She really made me cry to death.”

Madoka has become a magical girl, and her appearance is determined.

From this moment on, she became the most benevolent, benevolent, high and powerful god.

Her arrow shot out, dispelling the haze in the sky, the sun appeared, the sun shone, and the arrow spread, flying into the past and future.

Whenever a magical girl’s soul gem is about to turn into a seed of lament, shed tears, and long for hope, the arrow turns into Madoka, absorbs the curse, and causes the girl to die as a human.

Regardless of race or time, she is like a god, sending girls into her kingdom with a smile on her lips.

The girls who were unwilling to become witches were finally able to die with a relaxed smile.

“With your prayers, I will never let it end in despair.”

“You will not curse or harm anyone. I will accept the cause and effect. So please, believe in yourself until the end.”

The screams of Witch Night turned into laughter. She turned out to be composed of many witches. No wonder Xiaomi Homura couldn’t solve it alone.

They were finally freed.

This final boss ended so easily and naturally.

…

Based on the new laws brought by Madoka, the universe was reprogrammed.

The hope of creating a universe must bear the despair that is enough to bring the universe to an end.

Born out of this despair was the strongest witch, the Witch of the Universe.

Xiao Meiyan cried sadly.

This represents Madoka’s departure.

But a light appeared in the darkness, and it was Madoka.

“My wish is to eliminate all witches. If that comes true, there will be no need for me to despair!”

Madoka bloomed with light, she pulled the string of her bow, and destroyed the last witch.

But because of this, Madoka’s life has neither begun nor ended.

The proof and memory of having lived in this world will not remain anywhere.

The existence of Madoka… Madoka will be transferred to a higher realm and exist as a concept.

No one would recognize her, and she could not interfere with anyone.

This is the final ending of “Madoka Magica”.

Homura Akatsuki cried because of Madoka’s end.

No one remembers Madoka, her tenderness, and her dedication.

Madoka’s efforts were not rewarded, which was more painful than death.

“I think so too!”

Higashino Mei stared straight at the manga, Madoka saved everyone, but did not save herself.

She became a concept and could no longer respond to her family and friends who loved her.

“What a lonely observer.”

Madoka comforts Homura Akatsuki and gives her her own headband.

She observed all the time, Xiao Meiyan cried countless times and was covered with scars, while still trying to save her.

Madoka had never understood before that she actually had such a good friend…

She apologized, hugged Xiao Meiyan into her arms, and finally separated.

…

“So this is the plot…”

“It’s amazing.”

Now, even Togashi Yoshihiro was speechless for a long time.

Before the comic was about to end, it once again gave him a powerful shock.

More than any time before, it was more unexpected and moved him.

“It’s a bit hard to understand.” He scratched his hair, “In other words… Well, Madoka defeated the witch and became a god who cannot interfere with reality?”

Madoka has become a god who possesses the law of “the principle of the circle”.

In the reorganized world, whenever a magical girl becomes a witch, she will be picked up and redeemed by Madoka.

“Magical girls still exist, but they will no longer become witches.”

But Yoshihiro Togashi was a bit confused, “Then what will be the enemy of the magical girl?”

Naoko Takeuchi understands this very well, “Aliens, World of Warcraft, octopuses, etc., but they are not important. The most important misfortune of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is gone.”

“The future of this world may be the same as the beautiful magical girl comics.”

…

“God, my Madoka.”

Heye was walking by the river, his mind was very confused, and his mind was filled with the scene of Madoka transforming into a god in the universe.

The divine brilliance in the comics moved him and made him unable to extricate himself.

“Hey, Heye, let’s go fishing together.”

The fishing friends waved to him.

The same is true for Higashino Ichiro.

“No, I can’t.” He Ye shook his head, “I want to buy Madoka’s figurine. There are only 9999 pieces available. If you go late, you won’t be able to buy it. It’s very precious!”

Based on the plot of “Madoka”, Madoka’s official figurines may have been snapped up like crazy, and he was just taking chances.

If he could really buy it, he would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn’t try hard enough.

“I really don’t understand what you otakus are saying.”

“Putting your emotions in an empty place might as well be used to make a nest.”

The middle-aged and elderly people complained one after another.

“I have a Madoka figurine at home.” Ichiro Higashino said suddenly.

“Higashino-san, you…do you like this too?”

“No, of course not,” Higashino Ichiro shook his head, “Shueisha sent a lot of them, but my son treasured them all.”

“Toriakino-sensei is like this, so it seems really precious.”

“He said he had some emotional sustenance or something, so he built a window cabinet to store it.”

“Bravo.”

He Ye wanted to vomit blood after listening to their double standards.

He left quickly, without any further delay.

…

“Higashino-kun.”

While Hibiki Higashino was painting, he received a call from Akira Toriyama.

“What’s the matter? Toriyama-sensei.”

“Um…this…do you have a Madoka figurine there? My child wants it very much.”

Higashino Hibiki grinned, “Is this kid almost 50 years old?”

“Huh? Of course it’s not me.” Akira Toriyama looked around and didn’t see Hibiki Hibiki, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

My own thoughts were completely seen through, really.

“If the teacher wants it, of course you can.” Hibiki replied simply.

He doesn’t have any passion for the figures, but if he can give them to someone he likes, the value of the figures will be even higher.

“Thank you.” Akira Toriyama thanked him.

“It doesn’t matter.” Higashikata waved his hand.

…

One week later, it’s the last episode of Madoka.

Readers flocked to buy Jump.

Many supermarkets have also made plans early and arranged dedicated purchasing channels.

“The jump after hearing this has a circulation of 3.62 million.”

The circulation of “Weekly Shōnen Jump” has gone from bad to worse. It once had a circulation of more than 4 million, but by 2004, it had dropped to 3 million.

This trend will continue.

“I feel less.” Liu Lian said to a colleague on the side.

“Everyone’s desire to buy is a little too crazy.”

The climax of “Madoka” has clearly passed, but the final aftermath is hard to bear to let go of.

“Because I like it so much.”

…

“You are reading a villain book again. You are obviously in your 30s. You really haven’t grown up.”

Furumi pushed up his glasses, and the person who came was her mother, who was making a long-winded sound that he was accustomed to.

“Because I like it very much.” Furumi said.

Then he immersed himself in the comics and started reading.

At the beginning of the manga, Kyousuke Kamijou plays the violin.

Madoka and Sayaka watched from the audience.

Madoka can save Sayaka, but Sayaka’s wish is gone.

Sayaka’s prayers and efforts for this are very important and meaningful.

“This… shows that Sayaka is relieved.”

Sayaka, who once despaired of becoming a witch, did not do so because of Kyousuke Kamijou’s “transfer to another love”, but because of pressure from all aspects.

“Tori Akino-sensei drew such a paragraph, it’s so gentle.” Furumi couldn’t help but say.

The world is reshaped. Sayaka, who originally became a witch, now uses all her power and is guided by the “Principle of the Circle” to disappear.

Asami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura don’t remember Madoka.

“This is the fate of magical girls, the cause and effect of pursuing hope. Before bringing a curse to this world, we can only disappear like that.” Tomoe Mami said.

She didn’t know that there was a darker world.

Xiao Meiyan looked at the hair tie in her hand, which was left for her by Madoka. She hugged the hair tie to her chest and cried, “Madoka…”

Tomoe Mami: “Xiao Mei-san? Madoka is…”

Kyoko: “Who is it?”

They had confused looks on their faces, which made Furumi collapse.

He stood up, left the living room, came to the study, took off his eyes and wiped the corners of his eyes.

“Madoka’s past with Tomoe Asami and Kyoko have all disappeared…”

The Tomoe Mami, whom Madoka admired, could no longer think of the junior whom she considered a friend.

Madoka’s brother is drawing pictures on the ground, that’s Madoka.

He yelled, “Madoka, Madoka.”

Madoka was probably watching from the sidelines, accompanying her family.

Xiao Meiyan looked at him and smiled softly: “It’s Madoka, right.”

“Yes!” Shikame Tatsuya nodded heavily.

At dusk, Madoka’s mother and Xiao Meiyan sat together and chatted. She was also a little confused about Madoka.

“Madoka is that child who has invisible friends when playing alone. It’s a common thing in childhood.”

It was obviously just an ordinary scene, but it made Gu Jian extremely sad.

Madoka once had a beautiful and ordinary family, but now she can no longer feel it.

Although only her brother remembers her in her family, for her parents, forgetting is a more painful and sad thing.

Xiao Meiyan said: “Yes, I remember it too.”

“Do you know that Madoka too? Is he a character in an anime or something?”

“Ah, how should I say it? I seem to remember hearing it somewhere, but I don’t seem to have…”

Madoka’s mother was confused and said: “Is that so? Have I met Tatsuya somewhere? Sometimes, I feel that this name is very nostalgic… Madoka.”

She saw Xiao Meiyan’s headband, which was her favorite style, “If I had a daughter, maybe I would let her wear it.”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu” Upon hearing this, Furumi couldn’t bear it anymore. The thirty-year-old man cried like a child.

…

There is no mention of Madoka in Kyubey’s memory.

The curse of the world exists in another mode, and that is Warcraft.

Kyubey is like an ordinary mascot, guiding magical girls to fight against monsters. When the magical girl’s soul gem is about to turn into a Lament Seed, it is accepted by the “Principle of the Circle”.

These are the rules of the universe now.

Warcraft continue to appear, and the battle of magical girls cannot stop. Their energy will always be exhausted. This is still a hopeless world filled with only sadness and hatred.

“Even so, this was the place that the child wanted to protect.”

“Remember these and never forget them.”

“So I…will keep fighting.”

Xiao Meiyan pulled the bowstring and shot at the unusually tall monsters wearing robes with blurred faces.

…

“”Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is finished.” The host looked at “Weekly Shonen Jump” and asked Oda, “There happened to be a manga on Jump that was finished. What did Oda-sensei think?”

“I’m sorry.” Oda sighed.

“Regret?” the host asked doubtfully, “This is a pretty complete story, right.”

“Yes, but…” Oda said, “I can’t bear to let go of my love for “Madoka”, so I have no choice but to say goodbye.”
