In a world where everyone takes wonders like magic spells and dragons for granted, Coco is a girl with a simple dream: She wants to be a witch. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch…until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, traveling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem…
Magic illustrations fill the pages of this book. Adorable and lovable characters lead you in a wonderful journey. I’m a fan already.
Man I wish this had been around when I was younger, because it fills the "I wish I liked Sailor Moon" void in me to a tee. I love the world of this manga and the aesthetic is so nice! There's a very gentle feeling to it, but there's also such high stakes and such a looming antagonistic presence, it's hard to reconcile though it balances them perfectly!
Lots of fun, really adventurous, and I've got to admit I'm a sucker for really solid magic systems
