Am I doing it right?
Anyway.
Yeah.
This seemed like a good idea, even if it's been done pretty well...So here goes.
Symmetry Diamond.
It's a sequel to Oriko Magica, a PMMM spinoff, and yeah if you're reading this, I'm going to assume you know what all this is.
Onwards, to gucas!
So! Volume 1!
Yuma has a cold. Totally. As conveyed by her cowering under the covers, cut and bruised, with the sort of thousand yard stare usually found near the end of war movies while her mom yells at someone (a police officer? social worker?) when he or she comes to ask about reports of abuse.
She slams the door in their face, grumbles about someone blabbing, then threatens to kill Yuma if she says anything to anyone.
...You know what? Getting eaten alive was too good for that woman. Save the Yuma. Hug the Yuma.
WELL WE'RE OFF TO A MAGICAL START, aren't we?
Cover art. Puella Magi Oriko Magica: Symmetry Diamond. Everyone's in casual wear and smiling and Kirika has her kitten toy from Oriko attached to her skirt because of course. Talk about tone shift with happy, uncut and unbruised Yuma though...
So Kirika's in a hurry as conveyed by her very vocal monologue to herself at the top of her lungs about how much of a hurry she's in and Running! sound effects.
Meanwhile, Oriko's amusing herself by predicting minor events for the next day or so. Precogs, not even once.
"Kirika will come back in a hurry!"
...Yeah, she didn't need precog for that one.
"Oriko! I got you a grief seed!"
"Thank you. You're just in time."
Why do I get the feeling they have a lot of conversations like this?
Oriko exposits in narration. Magical Girl, Kyubey contract, saw the FUTUREEE, contracted to kill Ma-
To kill Walpurgisnacht.
That's different. Wonder when this is set in the timeline? An early loop where Moemura didn't notice? Just parallel timelines?
Oriko apologies for leaving the fighting to Kirika while bobblehead Kirika pours herself some...drink while looking too adorable for words. Then she says how she's worried about Oriko, asking if she still can't control her predictions.
Oriko admits she can't...and looks worried. Uh oh. The precog looking worried. Never a good sign.
Oriko's precog has a minor filter problem. As in no filter...and as Kirika points out, clouding her gem fast from being constantly used that way. Meaning no magic for fighting.
Kirika is somewhat shaky about this state of affairs. Literally...as she remembers what happened last time.
Memory bubble. Kirika was fighting a witch...Oriko tries to cover her...but can't do it because she's out of magic. Nothing happens.
Oriko's huffy about Kirika bringing THAT up, and Kirika apologizes...but Oriko worries if they'll make it to Walpurgisnacht in the next two weeks.
Kirika says that she's sure she'll do it- that it's her they're talking about- and they have tea.
...Kirika likes syrup on her pancakes.
Sadly this idyllic state of affairs doesn't last very long...as someone throws a message saying "Die" in through the window. Kirika looks shocked and angry- while Oriko just closes her eyes sadly.
We jump cut to Oriko outside with a thermos- and yes, being adorable- while she ponders how Kirika'd scold her for going out alone if she knew, complete with chibi Kirika waving her arms frantically.
Symmetry Diamond confirmed for dorbs.
"I don't want to be alone at night."
...Jeez, even in adorbs...
And then we get a lovingly detailed series of panels of younger Oriko stumbling across her father after he'd hanging himself.
PMMM not even once.
"Maybe I can't control my magic because my heart is troubled. My wish was granted but have I changed at all? Am I still trapped?"
She hears a rustling, calls out...and then a wild Yuma appears!
She looks scared. Oriko beckons her over, giving her something to drink. Yuma asks why Oriko's there, she says she's looking at the moon...then admits that her mother told her not to come back. Yuma blames herself. They talk about being a good girl- Oriko was never scolded by her parents- actually what happened to OrikoMom?
"It's important to want to be good. But thinking of yourself as a good girl is just arrogance. People are born imperfect."
Anndddd not surprisingly, Yuma's response to this is ???????
Oriko, you're great, but come on.
Yuma thanks her for the tea and runs off, and Oriko decides to go home as it's getting cold.
"What an odd girl..."
Pot, buckethat kettle, or have you met?
Then Oriko gets a vision where Yuma's death at the hands of her mother is all over the news at some time in the future. She doesn't take this news very well.
And with that, we jump to a girl catching up with Kyubey, where she states it'd be a shame to let Mami keep a city with so much prey to herself, and Kyubey states that he's making lots of new magical girls...
Actually this might well be a Moemura timeline.
And she announces her intent totake over the world show all the new magical girls that she's stronger. Kyubey doesn't mind.
This is Sasa Yuuki ourcackling villain of the week antagonist for Symmetry Diamond. She's definitely the weakest part.
Up next...fighting! Adorbs! Impractical outfits!
And more adorbs.
Anyway.
Yeah.
