Thanks☆Kyubey

Thanks☆Kyubey is a Fan Fiction about Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It is an Alternate Universe mainly drawing from a What If: What if our despicable Kyuubey acts like a normal Magical Girl Mentor Mascot? That is, sweet, helpful, informative, emotional, no manipulating, no trolling. The result is a VERY LIKABLE Kyuubey and changing the setting of Madoka-verse into Lighter and Softer like you wouldn't believe.

Can be read at Danbooru. Beware the NSFW ads! You should also watch the original first to enjoy what it is.
