Slice of life with a witch thrown in.

2.5 stars.

Meh.

THIS. MANGA. WAS. DELIGHTFUL. What a lovely little no-stakes slice-of-life story with a witchy twist! If you take the plot of Kiki's Delivery Service and mix it with the 4-koma silly humor of Azumanga Daioh, you'd probably get something pretty close to Flying Witch. I love both of those things, so this was right up my alley. So good!

This book was so boring. I can see some readers liking it, as it is a character study of a new witch coming into her powers and moving in with extended family. But for this reader, the book spent way too much time telling you the main character had no sense of direction and would frequently get lost. That was most of the story. The Harbinger of Spring was the most exciting part of the story. Overall this book was just blaaaahhhhh……………..
