This is what I think happened. The Oriko and Kazumi artists were just given an outline by Gen on the rules of the Madokaverse, and even then these rules weren't even finalized. Case in point: the first Chapter of Kazumi Magica had them fighting different witches than the anime. This was before the origins of witches (Magical Girls become Witches when their Soul Gems get corrupted). When the truth was revealed, THEN we see anime-style witches in Chapter 3. I'm sure that the ending has placed the spin-offs in an even MORE awkward position (old-school witches shouldn't exist post-Madoka wish).

I suspect that they'll probably wave it off as an attempt to simulate Old Madoka Verse Witches , without the creation of Puella Magi's . In fact , I somehow have this theory bouncing around that Kazumi Magica is set after Madoka Magica , and that the entire plotline revolves around a faction of Puella Magi's that despise the endless war they're in , and is trying to break the system , and if possible destroy the creator of the system . I can just imagine that , if somehow , some Puella Magis have some knowledge of the existence of Madoka ( even if it's only existence , and possibly name ) , there would be quite a few that would like to destroy her and have the system re organized - or broken forever. Of course , if they succeed , millions , if not billions of Puella Magi's are going to get SCREWED . Again. |

The Oriko manga is written by Gen himself though (the artist just does the drawings),that's the big difference between Kazumi and Oriko to me,it's also why I look forward to Oriko a whole lot more.

Chapter 4 is out in the usual places.
Spoiler for Chapter 4:
Looks like so far this is a standard Madoka universe story that could have taken place anytime before the anime ending. It also makes me wonder....if this wasn't related to the anime, why delay it until after the anime was finished?

Most likely they did plan on making in coincide with the main series but it ended differently then mangaka expected so had to change it to make the story work.
Or maybe they will tie it to the series somehow later on...

Ah, so it ISN'T all rainbows and sunshine after all with the Pleiades. I think it's obvious by now that they know about the real origins of witches... The big question now is who/what Yuuri (HAHAHA, what a choice of name) is supposed to be.
Surprise surprise, Juubey can clear Soul Gem corruption. Why hasn't Kyuubey offered to do the same, I wonder?

Under normal circumstances I'd say, "^ This," and move on. However since Kyubey has now appeared in this (cameo, apparently; I haven't actually got around to reading this yet), I see no reason not to try and draw connections between this and the main series.

Kazumi=Walpurgis theory is actually an old one... But then again, even the witch card suggests WN might be a cluster of entities. How about taking the whole Pleiade into account? |

Until proven otherwise, I will still assume a loosely based connection at best. Perhaps it's not quite a spin off, but I see Kazumi's connection with Madoka on the same level as Tsukihime with Kara no Kyokai and Steins;Gate with Chaos;Head. Same universe, maybe, but I'm not going jump to conclusions and believe that one story has events crucial to the plot of the other.
