Interesting take on this, maybe that was the real reason why he wanted Madoka to make a contract.. nah just kidding. Rather out of character but it was cute

lol, saw this before, and yeah it is very cute. Page 1 seems to be listed at the end of the chapter as opposed to the start, though. Does disturb the flow a bit.

Het tag? Kyuubey's a dude right?

How strange - takes a cruel character and gives him a side that you can understand. However the real kyuubey is nothing like this. Still, nice story.

Shoot, I don't normally like Kyuubey with anybody, but I really loved this story. OOC, but great nonetheless.

Don't like it +1.


And I'd even like to thank Urobuchi for having Bebe by Mami's side now.

I think this works best if you consider it as one of Homura's failed timelines and an anamolous one at that. The anomaly being that Kyuubey develops emotions and an attachment to Mami, of course.

Also helps if you consider the KyubeeyXMami relationship as sort of a brother-sister kind of thing.

I liked this, until I realised what happened at the end...

Cute, but what was he eating at the end?

A few pages back it's implied Homura shot him so the crap he's eating at the end would be one of his corpses.

Kyubey developing feelings for Mami? That's something I can get behind......

Somebody brought up one of those love meter things on the Magia Record subreddit:

Rather fitting.

Interesting take. I've always wondered what would it be like if Kyubey actually developed feelings (aka rare mental illness in his word), but I guess it wouldn't change much. He would most likely be attached to the one he had known the longest, try to push Madoka into contracting for Mami's sake, get killed by Homura and quickly replaced by another incubator.

On the one hand, it's a little wild to come across a Kierkegaard reference in a Madoka doujinshi. On the other hand, it makes nothing but sense.

(The title, The Sickness Unto Death, is also the title of a book by Søren Kierkegaard; it's a work of 19th century Christian philosophy, so it's decidedly heavy reading, but the "sickness unto death" of the title is despair — specifically despair considered as a rejection of love and the Infinite.)
