This story is set in the same universe as Puella Magi Madoka Magica, but features mostly original characters.
The town of Stormy Docks, CA is a popular spot for Japanese immigrants, many having traveled on the revolutionary ship SS Hyacinthus. However, on its second trip to America, the Hyacinthus mysteriously sank, breaking apart many families. Within this fractured town, immigrants Hiroko Yamashita, Etsuko Mochizuki, Yui Gushiken, and Mai Matsui fight as magical girls to defend it! Well, most of them do. Hiroko Yamashita has been the sole human friend of these girls for years but was never able to think of the perfect wish. After Hiroko finally takes Kyubey's offer, she realizes that the magical world is not as perfect as she'd dreamed. Amidst missing girls, a mysterious newcomer, and a scheme that may have more relevance to the Hyacinthus than everyone else thought, Hiroko is in way over her head; not to mention the fact that she has to figure it all out before the impending Fourth of July parade! One thing's for certain, though-
There's some sort of storm on the horizon.
