This dark fanfiction attempts to combine the central tragedy of Puella Magi Madoka Magica with the history of Japan during World War II.
Japan, 1941. Militarist fervor sweeps the streets. Sayaka and Madoka Kaname grow up amid propaganda about the “holy war,” accustomed to an atmosphere that is both feverish and oppressive. Sayaka is deeply in love with Kyosuke, a boy left disabled by a car accident. He longs to die on the battlefield, but his disability stands in the way of his dream. To heal the one she loves and help him fulfill his ideal of serving his country, Sayaka makes a contract with the mysterious creature Kyubey and becomes a magical girl.
But the truth of the battlefield shatters her innocence…
When “hope” becomes fuel for war, who will answer for a girl’s despair?
“Miracles and happiness always come at a price. People must take responsibility for their choices.”
