I know the show focuses pretty heavily on what a tragic life Yuko is having, but I think they'll take some time later to show you how rough Momo's life has been. She spend her whole childhood focusing on magical girl battles, and she doesn't have any fond memories of that. She lost her family at some point. I don't think she ever got a chance to figure out how to live like a regular person, and she has no one to teach her. Did you see that lunch she brought to school? It was just some bread and uncooked hot dogs!

Did the dog bark in this episode? I'm pretty sure the dog has barked at least once in every episode so far.

In addition to the subtle broken arm episodic thing, I liked Momo going from promise of steak to reading recipes in the store to her failed attempt in the fridge.

The next secret subplot is figuring out what kind of demon Yuko is, because I have a feeling it will become relevant pretty soon.

I can't believe Momo just crafted a magic homonculus daughter for her and Yuko.

At this rate, it won't be long until Momo is forcing Yuko to try on wedding dresses for some mysterious, unknown reason.

I'm loving the deluge of plot right now, but I'm gonna need them to explain how the first episode makes any sense. Seiko gave her kid a fork and told her to go murderize a magical girl. Seiko must have known about Momo already, and she must have known that Yuko had no chance of winning that fight.

Some other stuff seems odd, too. Seiko already had a list of potential demon titles for Yuko, as if she already knew that Yuko would wake up with horns. Also, this whole time, it seems like someone used their dream powers to incept the idea into Momo that she should be nice to Yuko and make her stronger. Maybe Seiko got help from someone on the demon directory and set everything in motion?

I really liked that episode and what they did with the back story. Also the cat being the metatron basically confirmed what ive assumed since it was revealed lilith was alive since antiquity, is that she us the lilith from biblical apocrypha

There are a bunch of biblical names out there. Anri's full name is Sata Anri (Satan). Oruga Sion is Gusion, the teacher is Azazel. Also, the dad box has a few characters of Hebrew script on the corner, spelling out the Hebrew word for 'Treasure'.

The manga translating guys are churning through the 4koma at full speed. If you go looking, you can find non-typeset translations on 4chan up through chapter 47. Seems like they're being typeset and thrown up on mangadex at about a chapter a day.

Don't skip chapter 27 just because it seems like the anime covered it. There's a bit of new stuff at the end that you definitely don't want to miss.

(China is full of weebs, I'm more surprised by the song)

I was thinking about this, and I realized that this Chinese memelord has an mp3 on his hard drive of people singing about being gay. China bans all LGBT content, so having that illicit content in his possession could get him into trouble, or at maybe just diminish his social credit score. We should all bow down before such devotion to shitposting.

Lico kinda seems like the final boss. Shamiko is always desparate to be seen as a worthy rival for Momo, but meanwhile, Lico is contantly owning Momo with nearly lethal force. Maybe it's like a rock-paper-scissors thing, and Shamiko could easily defeat Lico if she wanted to.

The next issue of Kirara Carat will have Machikado Mazoku on the cover. This most likely means an announcement of some kind is incoming.

Why yes series, I would like to an academic paper on the history of Medieval Japanese Magical Girls.

There should have been a translation note on that. In the anime industry, they use the loan work 'bank' to refer to stock footage. Ito wrote out a word that is pronounced 'banku', but the characters mean 'good luck poem'. Then she writes up a huge explanation about how magical girls use 'banku' (stock footage) to transform. It's just one big bi-lingual pun.

The new chapter has dropped, it will find it's way onto Mangadex eventually.

It will be a couple months until the next chapter. Ito went the the doctor and found out she's starting to get glaucoma, and is taking a month off.

Hola, Shamigos! I hope you're all enjoying Shamiko's birthday today.



A new chapter has been published. It's a weird, short, spinoff chapter, so it should be translated pretty soon. Ito also made this other thing, a thinly veiled look into her own professional life right now. I found a roughly typeset translation of it, so here you go.





In other news, Kirara has launched some kind of facebook page with english manga translations. They aren't using licensed translations, the typesetting is awful, and it's only on facebook. Who knows what they were thinking. You can read the first volume of Machikado Mazoku there if you want.

Finally, Ito has provided input on some new swimsuit figurines.



You can see pictures of the figurines in the tweet, but I woudn't consider them to be safe for work.

Turns out, that muck Shamiko cleaned away was the lingering melon-witch essence all along. Big villain defeated before her intro.

Because Shamiko always does her best.

The muck was explained by Lilith when Shamiko was trying to dig up her old memories.



But people have gone back to the show and noticed that whenever Momo's peachy icons are fluttering around, one of them has an eye, and one has a little face. I guess one is Metako and maybe the other is Suika.
