Summary for Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Gaiden
It is rumored that if a young girl makes a deal with a white fairy, she will grant her any wish her heart desires. In return, however, she becomes a magical girl and must risk her life to defeat fearsome and savage witches. Iroha Tamaki, a kind-hearted high school student from Takarazaki City, is living proof that these rumors are true. Armed with a magical crossbow and the ability to heal wounds, Iroha seeks out the labyrinths where the witches hide and defeats them before they can attack the humans. However, Iroha does not remember her wish, and even Kyuubey, the white fairy herself, seems to have no idea what Iroha asked of her.
One day, Iroha hears rumors about a town where “magical girls can be saved” and finds herself on a sunset train bound for Kamihama City. Unfortunately, he discovers that the witches in Kamihama are far more powerful than usual. After veteran Magical Girl Yachiyo Nanami is forced to save them, Iroha vows never to return. But when a chance encounter with a little Kyuubey seems to stir up distant memories, Iroha is forced to investigate the mysterious city despite the danger.
