Full-time comic artist

Many readers were chilled to the bone; this comic ultimately transcended its own limitations, breaking free from the concepts of hope and despair to reach a higher level.

They originally thought Madoka's wish was either to revive her former comrades, resolve the Witch's Night, or unlock Homura Akemi's restraints...

"We've narrowed our perspective."

Madoka focuses on something higher, not just her friends, Earth, or the universe, but the past and future, and the despair and curses of all witches.

"She really made me cry my eyes out."

Madoka became a magical girl, and her appearance conveyed unwavering determination.

From this moment on, she became a supremely benevolent, virtuous, supremely powerful deity.

Her arrow shot out, dispelling the gloom in the sky. The sun appeared, its rays shining brightly. The arrow spread out, flying towards the past and the future.

Whenever a magical girl's Soul Gem is about to become a Grief Seed, shedding tears and yearning for hope, the arrow transforms into a small circle, absorbing the curse and causing the girl to die in human form.

Regardless of race or time, she was like a goddess, a smile on her lips, sending girls into her kingdom.

The girls who refused to become witches were finally able to die with lighthearted smiles.

"I will never let your prayers end in despair."

“You will not curse or harm anyone; I will bear all the consequences. So please, believe in yourselves until the very end.”

The shrill cries of Witch Night turned into laughter; she was actually composed of many witches, no wonder Homura Akemi couldn't defeat her alone.

They were finally free.

This final boss came to an end so easily and naturally.

……

Based on the new laws brought about by the small circle, the universe has been restructured.

To create hope for a universe means to bear the despair that could bring it to an end.

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

Homura Akemi burst into tears.

This signifies Xiaoyuan's departure.

But a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness; it was Xiaoyuan.

"My wish is to eliminate all witches. If that really comes true, then I will have no reason to despair anymore!"

Xiaoyuan shone brightly as she drew her bow and vanquished the last witch.

But because of this, Xiaoyuan's life had neither a beginning nor an end.

The proof that one once lived in this world and that memory will not remain anywhere.

Madoka... Madoka's existence will be transferred to a higher realm, existing as a concept.

No one would recognize her, and she couldn't interfere with anyone.

This is the final ending of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

Homura Akemi cried because of Madoka's ending.

No one remembers Xiaoyuan anymore, her gentleness, or her sacrifices.

Xiaoyuan's efforts went unrewarded, which was more painful than death.

"That's what I think too!"

Mei Higashino stared intently at the manga. Madoka saved everyone, but not herself.

She became a concept, no longer able to respond to her family and friends who liked her.

"A truly lonely observer."

Madoka comforted Homura Akemi and gave her her own headband.

She observed all of time, and Homura Akemi cried countless times, bearing countless wounds, yet still tried to save her.

Xiaoyuan had never realized before that she had such a good friend...

She apologized, embraced Homura Akemi, and then they parted ways.

……

"So that's how the story goes..."

"It's truly astonishing."

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

Just before this comic was about to end, it once again brought him a powerful shock.

More unexpected and more moving than ever before.

"That's a bit hard to understand." He scratched his head. "So... well, Madoka defeated the witch and became a god who can no longer interfere with reality?"

Xiaoyuan became a god who possessed the "Law of Circles".

In the reconstructed world, whenever a magical girl is about to become a witch, she is taken away and redeemed by Madoka.

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

However, Yoshihiro Togashi had one question: "Then what would be the enemy of magical girls?"

Naoko Takeuchi understands this well: "Aliens, monsters, octopuses, and the like, but it doesn't matter. The most important misfortune of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' is gone."

"The future of this world may be just like that of a wonderful magical girl manga."

……

"God, my little Madoka."

He Ye walked along the riverbank, her mind in turmoil, filled with the image of Xiao Yuan transforming into a god in the universe.

The sacred radiance in the comics moved him deeply, leaving him completely captivated.

"Hey, He Ye, let's go fishing together."

The anglers waved to him.

The same goes for Ichiro Higashino.

"No, no." He Ye shook her head. "I need to buy a Madoka figure. There are only 9999 available, so if you go too late, you won't be able to buy one. It's very rare!"

Given the storyline of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica," official Madoka figures are probably already selling like hotcakes, and he was just hoping for the best.

He would regret it for the rest of his life if he could actually buy it but didn't try.

"I really don't understand what you otaku are saying."

"It's better to use your emotions to build a nest than to place them in an empty space."

The middle-aged and elderly people complained.

“I do have a Madoka figure at home,” Higashino Ichiro suddenly said.

"Higashino-san, you...you like this too?"

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

"If even Teacher Tori Akino is like this, then it must be truly precious."

"He said it was something he had emotional attachment to, so he put it in a display case."

"That's amazing!"

He Ye felt like vomiting blood after hearing their double standards.

He left quickly; he couldn't delay any longer.

……

"Higashino-kun".

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

"What is it, Mr. Toriyama?"

"Um... do you have any Madoka Magica figures? My child really wants one."

Higashino grinned. "Is this kid almost 50 years old?"

"Huh? Of course it wasn't me." Akira Toriyama looked around and, not seeing Hibiki Higashino, breathed a sigh of relief.

My thoughts have been completely read. It's true.

"Of course, if the teacher wants it, that's fine," Higashino Hibiki replied readily.

He doesn't have a particular passion for figurines, but if he can give them to someone who likes them, then the value of the figurines is further realized.

"Thank you," Akira Toriyama said.

"It's alright." Higashino Hibiki waved his hand.

……

One week later, it will be the final episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

Readers flocked to buy Jump.

Many supermarkets had also made plans in advance and arranged dedicated purchasing lanes.

"I heard that this chapter of Jump has a circulation of 362 million copies."

The circulation of Weekly Shonen Jump has been declining. It once had a circulation of more than 400 million copies, but by 2004 it had dropped to 300 million copies.

This trend will continue.

“I feel it’s not enough,” Liu Lian said to her colleague beside her.

"People's desire to buy is a bit too crazy."

Even though the climax of "Little Circle" has passed, I still can't bear to let go of the lingering aftershocks.

"Because I like it so much."
