The title itself is a spinoff of Madoka Magica, which revolves around new character Iroha Tamaki, who lives in Kamihama. Iroha enters a contract to become a magical girl, with her wish being to save her sister from an unspecified illness. Not long after, Madoka Kaname arrives in Kamihama with the goal of finding her lost friend Homura.
