Okay. So the mysterious unkown magical senpai is the Dark Lord, right?

What? No, Junna is the magical girl. She has the charm. If the Dark Lord was the magical girl, the Dark Lord would have the charm. But Junna has it.

this is one of my favorite twitter series

Nonlinear story telling can be so confusing.

Self-sacrificing, all loving pinkette x self loathing 'evil' dark haired girl going to extremes to see the former live happily. If someone told me the twist at the end was that the whole thing was a timeline Homura put together to forestall Madoka awakening, I'd probably believe them.

No? Definitely not some of the users here. This is just the beginning of what little we learned about the Dark Lord.

This is my hill. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My hill is that the author still needs to get their shit together lol

seems like the author's doing just fine, from the hill over here...?

i am appreciative of the timeline

I'm on a small plateau between two conjoined hills. One hill says "The author's got their shit together", the other says "Even if they don't, I'm enjoying the result, so whatever shit they on they better keep on it". I can't decide which one to climb because the former would represent a more firm stand but the latter is the far funnier option

Things could certainly be clearer. Impossible to tell right now whether everything will congeal into clarity by the end or just muddle through messily.

what’s with the confusion for junna’s end goal, wasn’t it established that she wanted to be the final boss early on in the series or am i missing something?

I thought it was going to say "the end."

Anime when? Seriously anime when? This is so peak.

That was quite the revelation...

I'm finally starting to understand, bless the translator for doing the timeline

Ikr. It makes me feel so dumb when others follow it just fine lmao

I don't think Junna is the older magical girl, there could be so many reasons on why she has the charm. I'll die in this hill, I don't know what happened to that magical girl but it's not Junna.

I get the author in that tweet at the end, though. Doesn't matter if you're the one writing the story—the characters will sometimes take on a life of their own, and you're as beholden to them acting authentically and genuinely as anything...and sometimes that means the plot goes in directions that you've not planned.

Hane being scary is cool as hell to see anyway, so I'm doubly happy over it.

Uhhh is Underling-chan okay? Is she safe? Surely Hane didn't turn her into a cloud of petals?!

I think some people a while ago did mention that we did not see Junna's expression during the Fireworks chapter (23), props to them for pointing it out. It turns out that she was sincere (and not intended on breaking Hane) with her shift in expression being more so her faith in Hane resolving the incident while she goes and deals with others.

We return to the present in which the Underling-chan from Chapter 10 returns~ Idk if she ends up becoming petals afterwards but it also seems clear she misses Junna and is real bitter about Hane.

Lemon is a good senpai to actually talk with Hane in regards to Junna's identity and the potential consequences both for love and rehabilitating her back to society while trying to help smooth things out with the goddess behind the scenes. We also learn that Junna was evesdropping the entire time which is how she learned about it.

Poor Hane. From ungrateful to fraud now. :(

It's probably difficult to resolve the fact that she only saved Junna because she had the charm and happens to look like the older magical girl. It will always be rather messy because Hane would always be loving (and hating herself for loving) that aspect unless Junna happened to be her (although even in that case, Junna is already a different person).

They are so perfectly messy for each other. They are both willing to fight the world in order for the other to reach salvation in the end.

The problem is the charm is the only solid evidence we have, and it points to Juna being the magical girl. Not only she has the charm, but in chapter 26 the charm responded to her feelings and started glowing:

More importantly, we now know that all the female members of the evil organization are former magical girls. So Junna was a magical girl. That much is confirmed.

The author is clearly an Explorer rather an Outliner. And with a disjointed story like this, it no wonder their characters are running away from them...

I hope so, since based on her hair, she isn't taking care of herself.

I really really love that Hane is like, "I thought for sure Junna was the magical girl who saved me, but even if she's NOT, Junna is the one I like"
