Witchcraft Works volume 1 story & art by Ryu Mizunagi
Review
From the publisher: “There is
something unusual about the Tougetsu Academy. While on the surface it may seem
like just another private Japanese high school; hidden amongst its student
body, though, are a few youngsters with some unique abilities. One of them is
Honoka Takamiya. He may not know it yet, but inside him lurks something very
powerful. And it is the job of the school’s idol, Ayaka Kagari, to protect
Takamiya from anyone, or anything, wishing to capitalize on his innate
abilities.
Dare to harm her “Princess”, and watch out— you’ll get
burned!”
The
first volume is mostly character introductions and some world building. With
that being said the comedy is ramped up to 10. The book also boasts stellar
artwork. The plot is moving glacially. We see our first major plot development
only during the final pages of the book. Pacing issues aside, this is a fun
first volume. The humor seldom falls flat. In conclusion I would as perhaps
loan this from a library before deciding whether it is for you. It has little
reread value and will not be to everyone’s liking but if you enjoy something
delightfully mindless this might be up your alley.
