Maggie Coliseum — Part 1

 is the fifteenth chapter of Natsumi Mukai's +Anima manga.

Synopsis
In a dark room someone informs Dame Maggie of the time, and she chuckles about having some new recruits.

Cooro and friends arrive in Maggie Vil and are surprised by how large it is in contrast to its name. An old man explains to them the origins of the towns name, and then charges them 10 Pillah. Rose exits a shop having sold her accessories to them and notices Husky glaring at her. Nana Alba whispers that Husky hates all girls, and Rose theorizes that a girl must have done something to him. Nana becomes worried that she may be the reason. Rose leaves to buy a present for her brother, Pinion. Cooro overhears some people talking about the coliseum, so the group go to check it out.

At the coliseum they learn that there is a cost for admission, so they decide not to enter. A man notices that Senri is a Kim-un-kur, and tries to recruit Senri as a combatant in the coliseum; they are all enticed by the prize of 1000 Gillah. The man tries to take Senri, but the others grab Senri and run away.

They wonder how things would have turned out if Senri had competed and used his bear claws. Nana sees a dress store and imagines being able to buy many outfits with the prize money. A wealthy girl exits the store, twirls, and walks away. Jealous of her, Nana claims she will marry a prince when she grows up; Husky mocks her. Cooro decides to compete in the coliseum, but the others don't think they would even let a kid enter. The girl comes back, offering them a means to enter.

Some researchers are happy with the pictures that Pinion is drawing by a window. He looks outside and sees his sister, Rose, walking below. Some of the pictures fall down to the street; Rose looks up to see where they came from and sees Pinion. Concerned why Pinion is in Maggie Vil, she rushes to him while the researchers try to take him away.

The wealthy girl takes Cooro and friends to the coliseum's backstage and warns them not to get lost. She shows them a match and introduces herself as Magdala.
