Puella Magi Oriko Magica (魔法少女おりこ☆マギカ, Mahou Shoujo Oriko Magica) is the second spin-off manga illustrated by Mura Kuroe with draft by Magica Quartet. The first volume will be published by Houbunsha and features the return of Kyouko and Mami from the anime as well as new cast members.

Although the first volume was initially intended to be released on April 12, 2011, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, as well as the subsequent postponement of the last two episodes of the anime has caused Oriko Magica to be postponed to May 12, 2011. The second volume will be released on June 13, 2011.

Plot

The story is believed to take place in one of the alternate timelines, during the same time period (calendar-wise) as the original anime. The plot revolves around Oriko Mikuni, a mysterious Puella Magi with a unique ability to see the future.

Chapter 1: Don't even think about becoming a Puella Magi

A girl dressed all in white tests out her magic after contracting with Kyubey. This girl, Oriko, has a vision of a future where Mitakihara Town has been destroyed by witches. Oriko is determined not to let the witch enter the town and destroy it, but she's too weak to stop it herself. She sees a second vision soon after, showing her a girl who has the power to do something about it.

Some undetermined time later, a very young girl called Yuma Chitose is rescued by Kyouko from being killed by a witch, but not before her parents are killed in the same way. Upon seeing Kyouko fight, Yuma grows a desire to become a Puella Magi herself, despite many warnings from Kyouko. Kyubey, informed about Yuma by Oriko, approaches her in order to make a contract, but is stopped by Kyouko. Meanwhile, Kyouko teaches the girl how to live on her own, and Yuma reveals her troubled past - her parents were very abusive, which led her to have very weak self-esteem and find herself useless.

Chapter 2: I'm not crying at all

While Kyouko is out fighting witches, Oriko approaches Yuma and manipulates her into believing that Kyouko is in big danger and she should become a Puella Magi, too. Kyouko is indeed having a hard fight and is nearly killed. Kyouko is rescued, without initially realizing the way how she survived, but Yuma quickly appears in front of her - as a magical girl. It turns out that Oriko also told Yuma that Kyouko is about to die. That's why she contracted - to prove her usefulness and save Kyouko. At the end of the chapter, Kyouko is seen determined to get revenge on Oriko, while another girl is talking with Oriko on the phone while covered in blood, accepting some request.

Chapter 3: Love is infinitely finite

Backstory of Oriko is revealed - her father, Hisaomi Mikuni, was a politician, and she was helping him with his campaign back when she was a child. Mami is seen fighting Charlotte, and feeling a presence of another magical girl nearby, who turns out to be dead. Kyubey reveals to her a rumor that there is some magical girl who hunts on other Puellae Magi. The girl seen at the end of the previous chapter is revealed to be Kirika Kure, and she's having a tea party with Oriko in the garden. A witch attacks, and Kirika fights her while Oriko continues to make tea. Kirika faints, and Oriko says that she has to use her again, "to protect the world of them".

Mami investigates the case of the killer magical girl, asking Kyubey, Kyouko and Homura what they know about it. Kyoko asks Mami back about Oriko, but she doesn't know anything. Homura has no knowledge herself, but tells Mami to stay away from herself, Madoka, Sayaka, and Hitomi. Homura then accompanies them home. Mami meets Kirika, who has lost a stuffed toy - Mami helps her recover it, and Kirika calls her "savior". Kirika treats Mami for a strawberry crepe to thank her, but Mami mentioning Kirika probably loving the person who gave her that toy makes Kirika mad - she is extremely picky about using the words "like" and "love". She comments that "love is infinitely finite". A witch appears, and Mami begins to fight it carefully, not wanting to harm Kirika. However, Kirika transforms into a Puella Magi herself and attacks Mami, revealing herself as the "Black Puella Magi", the culprit behind the previous murders. Kirika is seen winning the battle, while in the meantime Oriko is seen talking about her and Kirika making her father's dream come true.
