Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Witch(5)

Great fantasy yaoi adventure. Definitely one where dîck redrawing or uncensoring has significant value I loved the spin on the fairytale and the cheeky humour scattered throughout the story.

Lonely and reclusive wizard Ye-Zhu has a job as a salaryman. His life over the last century and a half has been one of isolation as he tries to protect the humans around him from the evil misfortunes that arise when witches and humans spend time together. There was only one instance when he spent time with a person since he was turned into a witch, and that golden haired charmer has reappeared in his life wanting to be close to him. So begins the determined pursuit of a sad little witch by an angelic man. I liked the story. Ye-Zhu‘s friends the dragon and potion making witch were interesting and fun, and Qi Qi was an impressive mix of adorable puppy eyes, ruthlessness and charm. It’s just Ye-Zhu was often depressed and it’s hard to get as attached to someone so negative. I am glad he grew in mental fortitude by the end and got a HEA.

An interesting idea for a story but it was heavily let down by the ending. Dorothy was meant to grow as a witch but she stayed greedy and bossy all the way through. There were moments of something softer to her personality and she did make friends but it really wasn’t achieved by being friendly. There were also hints of Dorothy being abandoned when young which explained why she was so materialistic but it was really just flashes that were never explored and therefore it was harder to find her a sympathetic character. The tag on this is romance but there was nothing really romantic. Hints about something forming between Dorothy and Toto, but no kisses (except for power exchange where one did last a bit longer) and no words of love exchanged. That’s not romance. If you read this for a story where a witch gathers servants who become willing followers and matures into her powers but stays with an immature personality then this will suit you. Just don’t expect much from the ending. It left pretty much every plot line open.

A beautifully romantic story about a powerful witch Veronica, and the kings knight Ignatius. This mangaka creates wonderful character centric stories where the connection between the MCs is consuming and possessive yet also pure and sweet. Add to that a lovely HEA ending and you have a winner of a story.

This was such a pure story with a beautiful innocent love blooming between talented young witch Alice, and the almost human Mari. Lovely art and an interesting storyline that I didn’t anticipate, this is one to recommend when you want some magic and falling in love.
