Book Review: Puella Magi Oriko Magica 1


Review:  #691
Title:  Puella Magi Oriko Magica 1
Series:  Puella Magi Oriko Magica - 1st volume
Author:  Magica Quartet
Read Before:  no
Comments:  Oriko Magica is a spin-off of the anime series set in an alternate timeline although it doesn’t make this apparent from the get-go.  All characters from the anime make an appearance here but due to the change in aesthetics, it takes a long while before you even realize that.  Once you realize those two points, Orko Magica has an intriguing story that shows promise.  Oriko is a magical girl that saw the future as a bleak and hopeless place, and a black magical girl is hunting other magical girls.  This first volume does a good job at introducing the characters and hinting at the direction it is going to go.
Rating:  6/10
