:''Extra Story'' collects three separate ''Oriko'' stories: one prequel and two involving an alternate timeline.
 
:''Noisy Citrine'' is a prequel further explaining Kirika's backstory prior to joining Oriko, involving a new character called [[Erika Mamiya]].
 
:''Symmetry Diamond'' deals with an alternate timeline of ''Oriko Magica''. Here, instead of seeing [[Kriemhild Gretchen]] after becoming a magical girl, Oriko sees [[Walpurgis Night|Walpurgisnacht]], and teams up with Kirika to fight it. Oriko does not predict Yuma at all, and later meets the girl in a park instead. The story expands a little on Yuma's home life, introduces her mother [[Mako Chitose]] as a proper character, and later introduces a new magical girl named [[Sasa Yuuki]]. ''Symmetry Diamond'' also explains what happens to Yuma in timelines where she doesn't contract: she either dies from Mako's abuse or lives a happy life with her grandparents.
 
:''The Last Agate'' is a short exclusive to ''Extra Story'', as it was not serialized in ''Kirara Magica''. ''The Last Agate'' is a continuation of ''Symmetry Diamond'', where Oriko and Kirika prepare to fight Walpurgisnacht.

:''Sadness Prayer'' is a prequel to ''Oriko Magica''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first installment. ''Sadness Prayer'' is set before the events of ''Oriko Magica'', but after the prologue, where Oriko sees Kriemhild Gretchen and Yuma.
 
:''Sadness Prayer'' introduces several new characters, namely a new magical girl named Komaki, who previously had a cameo in ''Symmetry Diamond'' along with two of her friends. The story also explains how Oriko and Kirika teamed up and explores the duo's characters as well as Oriko's family further than previous installments, where the subjects were only touched upon; explores Oriko's feelings towards killing Madoka for the sake of the world, and involves the reappearance of Sasa Yuuki in later chapters.

Trivia

  • Although the first collected 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 caused Oriko Magica to be postponed to May 12, 2011. The second volume was then released on June 13, 2011.
