This was a great read! The art style is beyond gorgeous and the story and world are so captivating. My husband bought me the manga as a gift since it's about witches and honestly it was an on-the-nose choice. It's giving me "Howl's Moving Castle" vibes, and I'm so here for it. Can't wait to read the next volume!

I am so glad I gave this a try. This is the first manga I’ve read that I felt captivated by. Shirahama-sensei’s worldbuilding is impeccable, the landscapes, buildings, clothing, language, and magic properties are fascinating and detailed. I love the characters, they all have strong personalities and designs. Coco is such a fun protagonist and I can’t wait to see more of her story. The art is absolutely stunning, the texturing is so masterful the pages come to life. The compositions add great tone to the story, I love how subtle yet impactful the art is in weaving the undertones of the story. This is the perfect story for me, as I love magic, adventure, fantasy, and stories that are lighthearted and coated with great emotional depth. The story progresses at a solid pace with so much to love. I look forward to reading more!

Gorgeous art combined with an intriguing story. If you’re a fan of intricate magic systems, then you need to read this. I related a lot to Coco’s, the main character, fascination over magic and the wonder that sparked in her when she saw it in use.
