SEE! Clearly this will be a happy manga. Proof is in the smiles. XD
Must make more posts! XO Must finish a great many things in....3 hours! In three short hours 2012 will be gone forever folks. And judging by the sounds of it most of my neighborhood might be blown up by tomorrow dude to all the fireworks going off. X___X So while I try to concentrate with EXPLOSIONS....here is another exciting chapter in Lets Kill Some Girls. Or Mahou Shoujo Kazumi Magica the Innocent Malice. We are already up to chapter 19 ya'll. ENJOY!

What do you mean you don't want to join me?!
Chapter 19 starts off with Kanna cackling her evil plot. Because all baddies have to cackle. Sometimes my husband practices his evil laugh just to scare the crap out of me but I am pretty sure that doesn't matter. XD But yes Kanna happily tells Kazumi that soon they will be the real humans and these nasty girls will be gone. But Kazumi is like no. Calmly says no. At this point I might be crying or losing my mind. But all that Kazumi has seen she is able to keep it together and say that she wants to be with Kaoru and Umika. Kanna tries to point out HELLO they are using you as a replacement. But Kazumi insists that they are actual friends even if it started out as something else.

Clearly Kanna thinks they need a lesson in suffering.
Kazumi uses her own powers to break free from her confinement. Kaoru and Umika try to comfort her but Kazumi is slowly turning into a witch herself. In the blink of an eye this tight group has been reduced to 3 members. The original Nico clearly died during the battle with Ayase so the actual count is down to 3. Kanna starts getting upset when Umika and Kaoru try to tell Kanna that she is a real girl too even if she came into the world by different means. I understand Kanna is going to be pissed with those words, that since they are “real” they really can't say anything and to shut their mouths. But I can see why Umika and Kaoru want to be reassuring and explain why they “made” these girls.

Umika (or at least I think it was Umika as the art gets a little fuzzy at points) explains that she does know what they did was a hot mess and horrible. It wasn't a fairytale but done to bring back their friend Michuri and to save themselves. Which makes sense. Their friend Michuri was just killed and they became magical girls because of her. I wouldn't have been surprised if there was a mass witchy that night with all of them losing their mind. But they made Kazumi to protect themselves from the awful truth of everything and to remind themselves there has to be hope. Perhaps it started off with Kazumi being a replacement Michuri but this time I think it truly was a real friendship with Kazumi #13.

Something tells me that they don't got this....
Kanna is not pleased that her fake magical friend is not down for the fun and mayhem. She doesn't believe they are made with love so they should bond over this fact. Kanna shows everyone what she has up her sleeve. She has the ability to use other people's magic as Umika can basically do the same thing. It becomes a bit special what with the borrowing people's powers and using their attacks and oh look pages of fighting. Basically it is a two on one fight but the one has more power because...well because she is the baddie.

Did I mention that Kazumi is looking really, really bad?
Kazumi is watching the whole fight and is feeling horrible. Can't blame the girl. It is either her fault for existing or will be her fault because she can't do anything. Or at least that is what Kazumi will think. Because even if she is a created/fake human she is still Japanese and everything is your fault. Turning into a witch will definitely be her fault and her friends turning into witches will be her fault. Kanna probably trying to get Kazumi on her side is Kazumi's fault. Kazumi feels the at faultness and tries to get up despite the fact she is quickly turning into a witch.

You know that you are dying right dude?
Kazumi and her swirling face aren't doing so great. Neither are Umika and Kaoru as they are using tons of their magic up on fighting Kanna. Oh yes that creature remember him? The thing that can clean dirty soul gems? An Incubator that can actually help magical girls? We need your power now! But when Jubey leaps to help....he starts to fall into pieces and basically turns to crumbs. Oh....so the creepy animal that can help us just died. How can any of this get any worse?

Good thing we are remembering these crucial things NOW!
As Umika and Kaoru sit there upset that their Jubey has....well splatted Kyubey shows up. I am sensing another bombshell folks. Anytime this cat (as a turn of phrase) shows up really bad things happen. He hasn't showed up much in this series, just a few times when Jubey was around. Other than that the two haven't been working together despite the fact they are from the same race and should be connected. Oh and the towns they are in are close together. But yes Kyubey is on the scene and the girls slowly start to remember...wait a minute...grief seeds clean our soul gems, not Jubey. Fine time to start remembering that. 


Kanna is actually a baddie that takes advantage of situations and is like TIME TO ATTACK while the attacking is good. I hate it when baddies spend so much time talking when they could be splatting. She orders the Witch Saki to attack all of the girls. I guess she is tired of Kazumi already. Or maybe she thinks that she can change Kazumi back if she gets turned into a witch. Or that a witch Kazumi would be fun. Either way get them Witch Saki! 

Only some anime magic has taken place. See sometimes when people get turned into monsters they still say themselves. There is a tiny bit left of them so they can protect the ones left behind. In this case Saki loves Kazumi/Michuri so much she is able to kill herself before hurting the others. It is a bit special but given all that has happened in this show maybe it isn't that much of a stretch. But this is just one more thing to show Kanna that the power of friendship can save people in the end. It doesn't have to be all doom and gloom...even though that is all that has gone on with this series. But still a sign to Kanna that they weren't wrong in their thinking.

Hey....maybe things won't end AS terribly as I thought. Maybe only 4 girls will die. And then Madoka resets it all.
Chapter 19 ends with Saki's other reason for killing herself being revealed. Now that Kaoru and Umika remember what really cleans soul gems she can give herself a gift to Kazumi. A grief seed doesn't always fall with a down witch but Saki turned into a special grief seed. Complete with ribbons! And despite the fact that Kaoru and Umika have very dirty soul gems they know what Saki was trying to say. Save Kazumi. Everyone else can die but if they can save Kazumi then it will be all worth it. The power of friendship...to be continued!
