[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Ah man... I would've had this up sooner, but I forgot to save what I had done and someone went and rebooted the computer. Sorry about that, I tried to replicate what was probably a much better synopsis/review/whatever as best I could, so hopefully you like what you see.

Anyway... even though this is the "Delicious M&M" portion, it's a very Sayaka-centric update, so I'd say it's time to once again Taste the Rainbow. Skittles Redux is a go!

(Translation: Enjoy a bunch of color jokes! )

Spoiler for Blue Evening:

So we start off with Mami delivering the bad news about what happened with Sayaka. Distraught, Madoka rushes to meet with Mami, so once again it's off to the Homu-Home to meet with a crippled Sayaka.

Spoiler for A Black Day:

A Madoka who wavered in her support of Mami gets to push by Homura and an unfamiliar redhead to try and comfort Sayaka in her time of need. Needless to say, Kyubey can't resist trying to take advantage of the situation... which leads to an uncharacteristically angry outburst from Homura. And while Madoka seriously considered making the sacrifice for Sayaka's sake, Mami and this mysterious redhead, who seems to be named Kyouko, managed to convince her that it may not be worth it... followed by Homura yelling again. A little surprised no one noticed the unusual change in character from her...

Spoiler for Seeing Red:

A Madoka who firmly stood by Mami through thick and thin got to be greeted by Kyouko... before rushing past her and Homura to try and comfort Sayaka. And as with the other portion, Kyubey decides to try and take advantage of the situation. Where things differ is that Kyouko takes a more active role in trying to dissuade Madoka... while hinting at her troubled past.

Regardless of how Madoka may have gotten here, she learns the truth about what's going to happen.

More to the point, a plan was concocted to explain Sayaka's injury without getting into the truth of the matter... and I hope that in this little enactment, Kyubey got to play the role of "wounded kitten." Only they actually put him into some of said machinery. Yeah, that'll make things better. Or maybe not, but it'll make me feel better. All things said though, the plan seemed to work... And unlike a certain other route, Nanami actually gets to play the role of kind and caring mother. Hopefully, for Sayaka's sake, Kotetsu still has a certain connection from that route open to him if magical means of healing are rendered out of the question...

But enough of referencing the more Sayaka-related route for this half, as this is the Mami Romance route. It would be a shame to not have a scene with that, and this update certainly didn't disappoint.

I'm going to break from my normal habits for this last portion, as I really don't think me giving a summary would do it any justice. Up until this point, I've viewed the relationship between Madoka and Mami in two different ways, the first being that of a younger girl who deeply admires her senpai and an older girl who wants a close friend, and the second being two girls who deeply love each other. In a single scene, you've managed to combine both of these into something truly magnificent, and as fond as I am of Sayaka, I'm honestly upset I didn't get to "officially" see this. Seriously, the end of this section is easily my favorite part of this update. Well done.

Spoiler for White Future:

So we start off with Mami delivering the surprising news about the latest magical gir... Human. Magical human, Kyousuke Kamijou, as well as the magic he worked for Sayaka. And, with their relationship soaring upwards to new heights, it seemed like it would soon be time for Mami to finally settle down with Madoka.

Later, in the Homu-Home, the magical maestro himself found himself surrounded by a quartet of lovely ladies. Why, he had a veritable harem on his hands with genki girl(and first girl) Sayaka, voluptuous senpai Mami, mysterious kuudere Homura and fiery tsundere Kyouko... who forgot to mention the fact that the Last Girl, which Kyouko would most likely be in this scenario, also tends to win. Of course, placements like that are irrelevant if the guy's already dating someone... and isn't named Makoto.

Afterwards, Kyousuke delivers a tale of miracles and magic so touching that even Homura was left in tears... and then everyone was brought to a chuckle when he boasted that, as harem lead, his being on their side assures victory. Though, seeing as he's already definitely gotten the girl, I'd say he's got reason to be confident.

Speaking of getting the girl, a brief interlude between Mami and a regretful Kyouko leads into a date between Mami and the harem lead she ended up with.

Spoiler for Passionate Pink:

If said lead decided to be passionate to more than one option, a Mami somewhat jealous of Sayaka and Kyousuke decides to let her own passions take over, and the two of them proceed to share quite an evening with one another... but we don't get to see that, of course. After all, AnimeSuki wouldn't allow such content to be posted for anyone to see.

Spoiler for Energetic Yellow:

If said lead decided to devote her energy to just one girl, the two of them instead use their energy in a way that helps Mami practice for her dream of becoming an idol... and I can't help but wonder if there's a certain show you don't like. If what I'm reading about it is true, there is a bit of Irony involved in Madoka dancing to a song from it.

Either way, Madoka ends up quite exhausted due to her time with Mami, and hoping the dream life she shares with her beloved senpai and girlfriend never ends...

All in all, I enjoyed this update a lot. And I can't stress enough how magnificently done one portion in particular really was. Great work on this one, and I can't wait to see the next.

Oh, and sorry again if it's a bit later than you'd like. At least I didn't leave you hanging for a week this time around?
