Puella Magi Hikari ☆ Magica: Fragile Peace

In Mitakihara City, Holly "Hikari" Kuwahara's life looks ordinary-middle school classes, quiet mornings with her parents, and afternoons with friends. But behind the smiles and school gossip, she and her closest companions are magical girls: the Scudi dei Desideri, sworn to protect the city from Witches-nightmarish creatures born from despair.

Hikari knows the cost of that contract all too well. Her wish erased the hero she once admired from existence, rewriting her own identity, and nearly ended her life at the hands of a powerful Witch. Only a desperate second wish from her friend Takami brought her, Sora, and Chihiro back from the void.

Now, a fragile peace settles over their rebuilt lives-until a group of mysterious transfer students from the ruined city of Kazamino arrives, their eyes lingering on the Scudi with unsettling familiarity. As new alliances form and unspoken rivalries simmer, the line between friend and foe blurs.

But the Witches never rest. And with each battle, each Grief Seed, and each whisper of secrets between rooftops, Hikari begins to realize that survival in this world isn't about winning-it's about not losing yourself first.
