I can already tell this is going to be a favorite manga series of mine. It is chock-full of beautiful art, endearing characters, unique magic systems and interesting world-building, and a whimsical but action-filled story following a loveable young witch. I adore the art nouveau style full of intricate lines and details, and haven't seen any manga drawn like this. After reading the author's note on the drawing seals concept inspired by a friend's comment that "bringing an illustration into the world seemed just like magic", it truly hit that this series feels like a love letter to art and drawing alongside the typical fantasy elements. I cannot wait to devour every chapter that is out, and for the anime to get released!
