Question: is homura the main character?
Answer: The hero of the story is Homura. It always was and always will be, even in upcoming movie (if it even comes). Every other character is a plot device for Homura. ... Homura SUCCEDS in saving Madoka by the end of the series (they save each other in a sense, but Homura is the one left out), even Rebellion is all about Homura.
