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!
