----------------------------------------
In short, a fistful of mindfuck.

To start off, little Oriko. T.T

And so, the main characters enter the stage. And I gotta say, apart from Kyouko (...she really looks awful), all the other characters look great. Especially Mami, who looks absolutely amazing, but also Homura and Madoka: the former looks even screeper, and the latter even cuter.
I'm guessing Homura befriended all the other girls in this timeline?

Also, nice Charlotte cameo, which confirmed, without a shred of a doubt, that this is indeed in another timeline.

Kirika is... well, the most appropriate word would be insane. Utterly insane. She puts bipolars to shame. A lot of the girls have twisted views on love and affection, due to their experiences, but Kirika takes it to a whole new level. I'll risk saying that her mind is FUBAR. And that Kyubey plushie...
Gotta love the claws, however. Slice, dice and serve on rice.

So, time for speculah: Oriko wears a white attire, which makes her look like a pope or a high priestess, and she has a disciple. saw a vision of a witch (Walpurgis?) destroying the city, and is apparently doing anything to stop it, saying she wants to save the world. And apparently, slaying Puellae is the way to go. Maybe she knows what happens to them in the long run... but it's still difficult to draw conclusions.

And always the same eyes on the witches... But Kirika wasn't present in the past battles, so they can't be spawned by her... but then again, why would that one appear in such an timing?

And to finish on a happy note: Hidamari Mami in the page where Kirika shows up!
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

Kirika is insane. So far, manga looks quite awesome.

They don't like Mami. If she dies right away again that would suck, but she looks amazing. Great art work, and an interesting plot. I guess this is just a random timeline that homura is going through, or maybe not. But Mami better get a lot of time in this.

Mami killed Charlotte this time : D

I hope she doesn't die in like the 4th chapter, though.

Another great chapter but Homura surprised me, she seems to be oddly aggressive towards Mami, perhaps it was the timeline after Mami sorta snapped.
Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she.

Kirika is incredible. I love her design and she's completely insane, which is always a positive for me. I can actually see Mami dying off to her in this timeline too. Seems the creators just love to kill her off.

She still reminds me a little of Hatate from Touhou though.

Well the artist mainly draws alot of Touhou fanart so thats not surprising.

The second and final volume of Oriko is coming in just a few days! Can't wait to see how this all wraps up.

Man! Am I glad that my fave Mami made it alive and I really love the way this is going so far. More CD (character development) here which makes the soup even tastier.

I don't think Mami will die here just yet. I'm guessing someone shows up to save her. Killing off the crazy next chapter and leave Oriko and Kyuubei to plan together would be interesting. I wonder how Oriko thinks that killing all the magical girls is going to help her achieve whatever goal she has.

Interesting chapter 3 though. Mami and Kyouko meeting each other, crazy bipolar girl with claws, lots of Mami screentime, Homura and Madoka, and just everything was great. Can't wait to see what will happen next.

Somehow the art was even uglier than the previous chapters, yikes. The characters all look like they're from an early 2000s shounen. The plot is really messy, too, jumping from one scene to the next without any proper transition and everyone seems edgy af. I hope it's worth reading this, though I doubt it.
