One wonders how such sublimate madness was achieved. Hard to see it happening accidentally, there's at least 10 twists in that braid, and it looks like a tightly-woven braid. Probably Madoka wanted it and then Homura (unwillingly) obliged. And I have to say, I never expected simple hair silhouettes to look so good. They look cute.
Is there a reason Mahiru gets shipped with them so often? At least in the western fandom? I haven't watched the last two anime episodes, so if there's spoilers there would appreciate nothing spoilery.
