Review:
This took me a while to get around to. Mostly because, despite that
I've heard good things, I was worried it wouldn't be that good. A
slice-of-life series about a witch with a black cat—right there it
sounds right up my alley.
And I shouldn't have waited so long, because it's great. I'm already
eager for more.
Makoto moves out to live with some distant cousins, because as a
witch at 15 she's supposed to move out on her own, but in modern
times that's not very realistic, especially when she's still supposed
to be in school.
Everyone can tell that there's
something a little off about her, but she's not very good at hiding
that she's a witch. We meet Kei and Chinatsu, her cousins; then
there's Kei's friend Nao. Chinatsu has the hardest time getting used
to Makoto, but mostly because of the weird people that come around
for her.
Everyone is rather blasé about
everything, and the humor is dry, but drops very well. It's very
relaxed and casual, with little surprises. It reminds me a bit of
Yotsuba&!,
in the best way.
I'm already hooked, honestly, and can't wait to read more.
