Review:
Starting this volume, it felt like I'd missed something.
We find Sango is staying at some kind of inn, with her sisters and
helping out. Ran is still dealing with the boy from her class who
discovered her witchcraft. This leads to her acknowledging she only
has one friends, and she would like more, but doesn't know how to
approach that.
Ran meets another little witch in this volume, and she's competing
with Ran for their mentors attention. She's jealous before even
meeting Ran, and while she might seem to have a better hang on her
witchcraft than Ran, it quickly becomes clear that they're basically
equal, but Ran might have more natural luck with magic whereas she has more knowledge.
When we see Otaro next, we discover that he's under some kind of
spell that is doing serious harm to himself and causing some real
deadly chaos in the world. It's intriguing to see how this is
affecting Otaro, physically and mentally. It also leads to an
interesting change in plot, which I'm intrigued by.
There are some major issues with this series—mainly that it stars a
middle-schooler, and yet it's very sexualized. But also the artwork
is so, so pretty, and I'm actually interested in some of the
relationships. I really don't mind reading this one.
