Summary:

Makoto Kowata is a witch. Or rather, she’s a witch in training. As such, she has packed up all her belongings (and cat) to live with distant relatives. It’s a bit of a family tradition – a way of sending young witches out into the world but in a gentler way.

Makoto’s expected to continue her training here, finding her own path to living her life as a witch.

Review:

Flying Witch Vol. 1 is a light and fun introduction to this world and family. Makoto takes the focus, being young with and all. But her cousins are likewise interesting – and interested in what Makoto can do.

I can already tell that this will be a sweet and funny slice-of-life series. Makoto may be a witch, but that doesn’t seem to help her with certain issues. For example, she has no sense of direction. Additionally, she seems hesitant to use her magic.

I look forward to seeing how this story evolves and grows over time. As such, I fully intend on tracking down the rest. Can’t wait to get started!

Highlights:

• Slice-of-life
• Witchy Tale
• Cat Familiar

Will I continue the series? Yes
