Synopsis

Revelations is an exploration of the unique storytelling style of the critically acclaimed anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It deciphers the visual symbolism, narrative metaphor, and literary themes of the series to give the reader enhanced insight into the characters, their motivations, and the story hidden beneath the surface of this surprisingly dark and complex tale. Why would Homura rebel against her best friend? What does the half moon represent?

Interspersed with insights from the cast members who brought the characters to life, this is the ultimate companion to the show that is redefining the magical girl genre.
