Summary: In a world where everyone takes wonders like magic spells and dragons for granted, Coco is a girl with a simple dream: She wants to be a witch. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, traveling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem.
I made the decision to start over from the beginning, I remember quite a bit but I don't want to miss a thing out of confusion, plus it's not a hardship at all. It will make a little weird when the anime comes out but ehh I can always watch that later.
Chapter 1: The beautiful art, the humor and silliness, the hints of more going on, ahhh this manga! I can't wait to see it animated!!! Gosh darn why is Qifrey so good-looking.
Qifrey thought of a certain group when he pondered the notebook and went back, but it was too late. :'(
If Coco can see the book again she'll be able to tell Qifrey which one she used to reverse the spell that froze her mom. According to the rules, Qifrey should've erased Coco's memories, but he's after the group who gave her the notebook.
Coco got what she wanted but sadly at a cost.
Chapter 2: Coco meets her fellow apprentices!
Tetia - Likes being thanked, spirited
Riche - Quiet
Agete - Stand-offish
Qifrey tells Coco the history of magic. It's the usual 'people misused it' thing, people's memory of magic was erased and only a select few could use and teach it. I wonder if the group who Coco got her journal from are part of the ones who misused magic and managed to escape?
Using magic on human's bodies is forbidden except for erasing memories.
Coco's magic book was replicated in the book tower but she can't get past the guardians until she gets stronger.
Qifrey imparting the message that there are kinder, gentler spells to make people happy and he wants her to know them. :')
Chapter 3: Coco learns the basic of spell-writing.
Quifrey: "Things you have memorized may soon fade, but words you've understood and spoken soak into your very body."So true!
Shirahama is soo good at drawing character actions!
When Qifrey goes away for a few days, Agete makes her move - she makes Coco do the test before she's even made her first real spell.
We meet anther witch, Alaira. The people who gave Coco her notebook are called the 'Brimmed Hat Group'.
Chapter 4: Coco is too cute, imagining Qifrey's words of encouragement.
Speaking of cute, brushbug!!!
I'm so happy she figured out how to combine her own tailoring knowledge with magic. <3
Coco didn't tell on Agete and got her own set of witch robes, yippeee. :>
Chapter 5: Coco repaired Agete's shoes but can't get the glyph on the bottom right. Qifrey takes her to a magic art supply shop to get her own pen to see if that helps! Qifrey flying with the girls is so cute. And the brushbug hanging out with Riche.
Coco spots a Brimmed Hat in an alley. She meets the shop's owner Mr. Nornoa and sees his grandson, Tartar.
Ink is made of dead leaves from a silver tree.
The girls get teleported elsewhere when Coco runs after the Brimmed Hat. I wonder how long it took Shirahama to draw that dragon?? It's clear the Brimmed Hat is testing Coco, They call her 'their hope'.
