Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, Vol. 1 (light novel)
by Jougi Shiraishi
Figured this would be a light kid's book, a bit like Little Witch Academia, but it's more nuanced than that. Not incredibly so, this is still a fairly casual tale, but I did appreciate that it has some dark moments, and that it had some moments centring on people and their emotions, without necessarily crossing the line into incredibly dark material like, say, [b:The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 1|23310828|The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 1 (The Ancient Magus' Bride, #1)|Kore Yamazaki|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431012310l/23310828._SX50_.jpg|42041493][b:The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 1|23310828|The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 1 (The Ancient Magus' Bride, #1)|Kore Yamazaki|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431012310l/23310828._SX50_.jpg|42041493], which this seems akin to but far less disturbing.
So far, this is the travelling stories of a young talented witch. There is no overarching story of global importance, or even a great character arc, as far as this volume is concerned.
The volume is four short stories, establishing the main character's talent, that this she has some emotional depth, and that this world can be a dangerous place. The world seems fairly straightforwardly medieval in that way that lighthearted manga fantasy tends to be, although the second volume, in that we learn that this world can be incredibly dangerous, will probably stick with me in a good juxtaposition against the relatively optimistic fare that the rest of the book is.
My favourite parts were the points when we learn how dangerous this world can be, as well as the interaction between the witch and her mentor.
