you could check it out for free from the library too :). This site is more for finding good stuff, rather for reading it on here.

Yesterday while browsing one of the many anime/manga newssites I frequent, I saw the news that this manga would be getting an anime adaptation soon. Of course I was curious, the art looked really cute, and the story sounded really fun. So today I decided to check it out.
So what did I think of this manga? It was pretty fun, though I had expected more comedy and more action, and also more magic. For now I think the best is to call this a very easygoing slice of life about a young witch girl moving ...more

Struggled between 3 and 4 stars. If I borrowed it from the library I probably would've given it 4 stars, but since I shelled out coin for this, I'm inclined to say 3. It wasn't exciting, but it was... hm, cute enough, but uneventful. I think I'll go ahead and buy the next one though, just hoping it'll pick up a bit.
"Jadi penyihir di jaman sekarang tidak bisa diharapkan. Jadi bagaimanapun caranya, aku harus bisa lulus SMA.
Jumlah penyihir lumayan banyak. Tapi belakangan ini banyak yang berhenti jadi penyihir dan memilih hidup sebagai perempuan biasa."
Side dish yang sangat enak.
Komik ini membuktikan bahwa cerita bertema penyihir nggak harus dibawakan dengan "DHUARR DHERR DORR". Tapi bisa juga dengan damai & ringan. Setting pedesaannya benar-benar ditinjolkan dengan baik dan mampu disesuaikan dengan kara ...more

Flying Witch is a slow-roll situational comedy slice-of-life. It takes what would otherwise be a surreal premise (a girl living with her relatives who is learning to be a witch) and makes it seem perfectly ordinary. It's straightforward, and I like that.
You won't find yourself laughing out loud, but this will make you smile and maybe snicker a bit. It's a good read, and you'll probably enjoy it if you're in the mood for something light and lighthearted.

Flying Witch is a manga about a girl who is a novice witch and moves in with her second cousins while she trains to become a proper witch. It is a very simple look into life more than a fantasy in which the main character acts like a witch. In fact, her sister arrives near the end of the first story and comments on the fact that the only magic that has been done since she moved is when M- flew once on a broom.

A quiet introduction to what will hopefully be a fun slice-of-life. I love how blase all the characters are about witches existing. Feels like Harry Potter x Yotsuba thus far, especially the minimally drawn characters and emphasis on the setting’s details.
Will continue!
Will continue!
Surprisingly light on magic for a series about a young witch coming into her own. Instead, it's more a quiet, slice of life series with a touch of magic, and I really enjoyed it.
really funny
3 stars
Since Poppy had her ligament surgery, I have been having a very hard time concentrating on anything. I have spent hours playing Mystery Match and Crafty Candy because they require little thought. Just match the blocks and you're good to go. When that got boring, I turned to my mountain of neglected manga and pulled out a few random volumes to read while waiting for her stitches and her bones to heal.

This manga is like a ray of sunshine on an overcast day. I'm currently lying in bed with a fever and Flying Witch hit the right spot. It's slow paced, cute and wonderfully drawn.
If you need some happy positivity on a bad day, this is definitely a graphic novel to go for!

A sweet, soft book that is a delight to read.
I posted a twitter thread (complete with gifs from the anime) about what I enjoyed about the first 3 volumes of this series. I'll repost the text here:
I love the details that make the story more believable in its setting. 1) A 15 year old witch sent to live with relatives instead of alone. 2) Her cousin ditches her to hang out with his friends. 3) The little cousin shuts the door immediately when she doesn’t recognize a stranger.

Was unsure if I should give this 4.5/5 stars or stay with 3, so ended up on a 3/5 star rating.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this manga, but I wanted to give it a chance because it was about the everyday life of a witch.
While there wasn't a lot of action or things actually happening, I liked how it introduced the aspects of a witch that many people don't think about.

Very gentle, low-action manga about a young witch who moves in with her country relatives to finish her training. The emphasis - in this volume at least - is far more on country life than on witchcraft, as our heroine's repertoire of spells really doesn't go much beyond a bit of broomstick action. Simple artwork with plenty of space completes the agreeable vibe. Very indebted to Ghibli, and terribly slight, but charming enough to earn a low-key recommendation, especially as it turns up on sale r

Makoto and her familiar, a black cat, move to a rural Japanese town to be with distant family as she learns magic.
The artwork, particularly of the animals, is adorable. I'm just beginning to read manga and what I've discovered is that occasionally (as in this volume) really not much happens in the story. And for this one, that's ok. It's warm, and calming, and like a stuffed animal. I'll be reading the next one in the series.

This first volume was really cute. I love that there are cats!
I think my tastes are changing because I really prefer the darker themes over light hearted stuff! But maybe I'm overwhelmed by all the witch stuff that's not and none of it feels super innovative or unique.

Quite a peaceful read. Not a lot of drama just a glimpse into the life of young girl who is studying to become a witch. I really enjoyed it. Fast read.
** I would have been scared of the harbinger too!**

Not particularly exciting as far as plot, but very, very cute. I think this might become my go-to series for something lighter to read once I finish up Princess Jellyfish. I also just have a weakness for anything witch related…
Sweet, light and fluffy... Just what I needed. :)
んんんん、可愛かった。そして読みやすい。それ以上印象がない。
how could I not enjoy manga featuring a mandrake and two cats?
Well I am obsessed with the Harbringer of Spring. What a darling. And that mandrake!!!! It's like Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets all over again!!
pretty good
Very cute.
What a nice breath of fresh air.
Pretty, clean artwork and interesting but there’s doesn’t seem to really be any type of conflict so I’m not sure where this is going? I’m interested enough to read more and give it a chance though.
Cute! Not much magic up to this point, but the quirky slice-of-life approach in telling this tale of a absentminded witch in training is very, very cute! Like Yotsuba meets Somedays Dreamer.
Cute and quiet, a little average, but I think I'll at least continue on with the next volume.
I really wanted to love this manga. It looks really cute! And it is cute, but it's also . . . really average. There are aspects of it that should stand out, only nothing particularly does. I'll probably give this manga another volume or two just to see if it develops more over time, but so far, I'm not particularly impressed despite the fact that it is, in fact, cute.
