The numerals at left denote not panel numbers, but paragraphs.> Title: Bad Girl Madoka 1 When Nakamori Akina debuted and had the hit song "Shoujo A ", this "Madoka" was born. 2 And--speaking of idol singers--this was the period when they were generally accepted as being smart and on the honor roll. In the midst of that came the debut of Nakamori Akina, who, on the other hand, had more of a feel of a school dropout, thus differing from the other idol singers--and that was quite refreshing. 3 An exceptionally pretty girl--and a dropout! 4 This imbalance, of course, became the image of Madoka. 5 Madoka, who indeed does fight in the manga, doesn't shoplift nor have sex. I had written her as--one might say--a bit of an old-fashioned, good and stalwart leader of a girl gang. But, in fact, in a prototype prior to the serial publication, she was intended to be written as a more raw and loose girl. She made it with another guy and, of course, she wasn't a virgin. (I like those kinds of characters, too.) The serious-minded hero of the story (Kyousuke) finds himself attracted to that sort of slightly devilish girl. The aim was to make a manga about a love that resembled a heart- wrenching hell. But, I'm glad I didn't do it like that! 6 Therefore, the story was raised to be an angel because of the Editor who made me cut out all the muddy parts, and I owe it to all the readers.
