Goodreads Synopsis:

Serene Sorcery
Makoto makes her way to a fabric shop in town in order to sew a new robe, and ends up crafting a surprise for Chinatsu, too. Makoto combines her mundane studies with a bit of witchcraft and makes a freaky treat. On the way home from a late-night meeting with her mentor, Makoto runs into Inukai. They head to the beach and meet an adorably mysterious creature that immediately makes itself at home...

Review:

In this volume of Flying Witch, Makoto decides to make herself a new witch's robe, as hers is old and torn up, and goes ahead to make one for Chinatsu, as well. They go apple picking. And then Makoto checks in with a mentor of hers, a nice, biker chick. The characters in this series are each unique, and interesting in different ways.
The biggest surprise is when Makoto and Inukai stumble upon each other, and end up finding a little rabbit-like creature. Chinatsu and the creature end up forming a kinship, and I would think it becomes her familiar, but I'm not sure that's the right kind of “pet” for that.
These volumes go by too fast, honestly. They're easy and simple and so very fun. Supernatural slice-of-life in the easiest form, and the volumes are over before I realize it.
