librarianlizreads's review against another edition
5.0
Star Rating: 5*
Genre: Manga, Young Adult, Magical Fantasy
Notable themes: Witchcraft
Romance Level: None
My personal take: When they billed this as Kiki’s Delivery Service meets Harry Potter, I was overly excited and prepared to be let down. Now however I’ve finished the first volume and I’m dying for the second. It was not necessarily what I was sort of expecting, but I am very much enjoying it so far.
Keeping in mind that this is the first volume, not a whole heck of a lot has really happened. However I can see the plot unfolding and I’m interested to see where it takes us.
Recommended for: Manga readers who enjoy witches or magic at all. Readers who enjoy fantasy and are open to trying Manga.
Display Ideas: Magic, witches, fantasy manga.
Reader’s Note: I am a teen librarian at a public library. I write these reviews to remind myself of book plot + theme, help potential readers with content, and/or to help other librarians.

What a magical fantastical world! Such a great intro with such an interesting cast. Rec from a friend who LOVES manga and knows my tastes well. Great for someone who wants a gorgeous piece of art with an academia vibe going on.

5 stars. This has to be one of the most beautiful manga I have ever read. I can't wait to get vol.2. The magic is interesting and refreshing. I love the clothing and the way the art helps tell the story of this world. Coco is so charming and I love Qifery is very fun and a tad mischeivous.
