Momo in "The Different Story" manga is drawn completely different than from the Madoka manga counterpart, despite being drawn by the same artist. She appears to be younger and has shorter hair, pulled halfway into a ponytail like her older sister's. She retains some similarities from the anime version design, as a panel in a flashback of the manga shows she used to look the way her design appears. It is stated in-story and by the artist that approximately a year has passed, and Momo's new look is due to her growth.
