3/5 because it is a solid start with a few hiccups.

I really enjoyed the art and the storyline in this first volume. I am interested to see where the story goes and the development between the two main characters.

I am also curious to learn more about the relationship between vampires and witches and learn more about their pasts. I think the author did a great job in creating a likeable FMC, I also enjoy that she struggles with her magic ( and the understanding that she will grow into it the future).

I think the ending of this volume ended quite abruptly and would have preferred a few more pages to close the chapter instead of ending on meeting a new character. Personally I think this first volume was rather short.

Morgana and Oz is a quirky, sweet fantasy following a young witch and a grumpy vampire as they try to figure out how to break a curse and maybe end a longstanding family feud. Morgana tries her best with magic, but things always seem to go wrong. When she accidentally turns a vampire, Oz, into a cute little cat, things get complicated.

This is a perfect example the grumpy/sunshine trope with Oz as the grump and Morgana as a bubbly optimist. The art is super cute, with tons of expression, colors, and joy! I thought the plot was engaging and the characters even more so. There’s an underlying mystery involving Morgana’s family and the vampires, and her family and his clan both have sweet and sour sides that are shown throughout. I appreciate the lack of clear good/evil vibe in exchange for solid character design and development.

I can’t wait to read more!

First off the art style is adorable and I love the dynamic between the two main characters. The story was interesting enough it was just hard for me to read at times because of the large watermark text that covered the pages.

Thank you, NetGalley, WEBTOON Unscrolled, and Miyuli for letting me review this graphic novel.

Morgana Winterberry is a witch who can’t control her magic. Oz is a vampire from a rival clan. So of course an accidental cat curse has been evoked.

I love seeing WEBTOON comics coming to print, and this graphic novel is a cute read and I’m now obsessed with it.

Absolutely adorable collection of this webcomic! I love Webtoon comics, but had never come across this one. It was adorable and very funny. Very Studio Ghibli in all the best possible ways. My only complaint... and maybe this is because I read an ARC or maybe this is just the artist's style and I just don't jibe wit this one thing, but... when they were sweating, like nervously... the sweat was the same tone as their skin, so it kind of looked like their skin was melting... like in a "I'm made of wax" way, not a horror film way. But otherwise loved this volume, the character design and personality, and the atmosphere.

From the name and the thumbnail I thought that this comic (or at least the first volume) would be a romance. But actually she turns him into a cat??? Lol, it's very cute.

The plot and dialogue are rather simple and stilted, but seem appropriate for children. I like the color palette and the art style, and especially find the cat to be quite expressive.

I can't say that this first volume totally hooked me, but I wouldn't mind reading more. The whole thing takes about 45-50min to read and I think that it's cute enough to be worth that amount of time and doesn't over stay its welcome.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book before publication.

There’s some great content on Webtoon that is getting published into physical books, and I’m glad this is one of them. I always enjoy a vampire and witch story because both sides are so different from the other and their relationships are fascinating. I liked the awkwardness of Morgana, the main witch character, as well as Oz, the main vampire character, who seems to be more open minded than the others. Although, that could just be because of the situation he has found himself in. The world building in this is a little slow, but the peaks we get into it help move the story along while retaining some suspense.

I felt that the ending to this volume was rather abrupt and not as smooth as a normal cliffhanger, so just be aware of that. I’m really looking forward for the next volume and will be purchasing a physical copy of this when it’s out.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

This was cute! It's only volume 1 so there's not much going on, but I loved the art, I like the characters so far, and it was just adorable.

It was a little annoying to read because of the watermarks, which also get in the way of appreciating the art, but I liked this and I'm interested in seeing where the story goes.

Morgana and Oz is a very cute tale of a young witch and the vampire she turns into her familiar. While the Winterberry clan invites the rival Red Vampires for a tete-a-tete to end a years long feud, Morgana is busy hiding a dress she has accidentally burned to a crisp, and Oz is lurking in the shadows as backup muscle. A few stray spells, a missing grandfather, a blood curse later, Oz is a cat and Morgana is working to reverse the spell.

This is a cozy-cute story that is toted as a Romeo & Juliet remix, but its more of a buddy-cop comedy. There's a nice mystery with the missing grandfather and the source of the feud, but the pacing is a little slow and redundant in the first few chapters.

A 3.75/5 and I will be reading the next volume.

4 stars - It was really good

Morgana belongs to a long line of witches, but she isn’t a very good witch. She struggles with her magic and frequently makes mistakes. While her family is supposed to host peace talks with the rival vampire clan, she makes the acquaintance of the vampire Oz. When things go sideways at the peace talks, her magic backfires and accidently turns Oz into a cat and now she has to find a way to turn him back and try to bring peace between their two clans.

This was a wonderful start for a new series. Morgana and Oz may be enemies but Morgana judges people by their actions and she doesn’t view all vampires as bad. While she does accidentally curse Oz, she does everything she can to fix him, and I love watching their friendship grow as they get to know each other.

While this is only the first 19 episodes of the volume, it was a great start for the first volume and a lot happens to get you sucked into this story. I am very curious to see what will happen next with Morgana and Oz after they have escaped the vampires and if they will be able to stop the war that is brewing between their two clans. I am going to have to read this on Webtoons to find out what happens next because I don’t think I can wait till volume two comes out, especially since this ends in a cliffhanger.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this!!!! The art style of this is super fun and really cute. There is a lot to love in this. The witch coming into her power (or not), a sulky vampire, and a family that seems to really love each other. This is only the first volume so I will be needing to find more of this.

I am so excited to have read this and I can’t wait for Volume 2 and beyond! This webtoon has the cutest characters and such gorgeous art. The tone of it overall is light and fun even though there is danger happening between the witches and the vampires.

Morgana is a light of sweetness and hope and I feel like people can tell that just by being around her even for a short while. Oz the vampire had me blushing and him in cat form is the cutest thing. It’s a fun dynamic that these two have that wouldn’t have been formed if Morgana had full control of her magic. But, if this happy accident hadn’t happened Oz wouldn’t have gotten to know and see how good and kind Morgana is and I truly believe their relationship will propel a repairing of witches and vampires relationships.

I do feel they will have a tumultuous, funny, and adorable journey ahead. A balance of things that I don’t normally feel I am able to put all together in the same story. I can’t wait to read more! This is a story that I know I’ll end up being so obsessed with and devouring with each and every new volume.

If you want a cute, funny, and adventurous story, Morgana and Oz is for you! I highly recommend this colorful story.

Everyone has been telling me for so long to check out this Webtoon and I’ve been so absorbed in others I put it to the side. I wish I would’ve found this so much sooner because now I’m obsessed, and will have to go back to reading on Webtoon to finish what’s on there. The story is very engaging in the first 19 episodes and really hooks you.

The only notes I have are more on the technical side from my previous experience of designing books: on page 166 we get almost a repeat after the blank pages of 163. They are slightly different but what I noticed when comparing the book and the Webtoon together is that it looks like most of the “remember this happened at the end of the last episode” beginnings were usually removed in the book. This one is one that was left in. Just a minor inconsistency. The other technical issue I had was on page 204 where we get the flashback scene. In the Webtoon, it uses speech bubbles. I hate that those were removed because it made it incredibly difficult to read this text. I’m also if the blank pages between episodes is necessary. Some episode changes have them and some don’t so if you’re going to have them, I’d say use them between each or remove them all together.

Besides those minor technical issues, I think this is a great first volume to this wonderful Webtoon! Congratulations Miyuli and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group!

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I’m a bit biased in that I’ve fully started the webtoon this literal week so when I saw it on Netgalley I slammed that request button. I’m into the plot and our two mains are the absolute sweetest. It’s a really wholesome book honestly, even with the overarching looming plot (which I’m excited to see unravel more). It’s such a fun time!

This is a cute book with great art and the beginnings of a fun story. Morgana, a witch from a long line of witches, meets Oz, a vampire, when their clans meet to try and form a business partnership. Things go south, Morgana's magic fizzles weirdly, and suddenly Oz is a cat. The plot then shifts to focus on Morgana and Oz trying to find a way to reverse the spell, all while tensions that may lead to a war between vampires and witches is going on in the background. The plot in this first volume is focused more on Morgana and Oz and fleshing out their friendship. I think they're cute together and they interact well, but I was more interested in the B plot and hope that it comes to the forefront in later volumes. The art was the big selling point for me, there were parts where the plot faltered, but the art was always strong. I particularly love how Oz cat is drawn. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story progresses.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This is a super cute graphic novel! I can’t wait to read more. I know this is a very popular webcomic so I was super excited to see it featured here and it getting a wide spread audience. I can’t wait to go on more adventures with these 2 and see what happens next!

omg all of these characters are so attractive-especially the one at the end.

I really liked this! I feel like I haven't read many stories where vampire and witches are enemies. I really like the cute art style and can't wait to see where the story goes.

What a fun first volume! Rival vampire and witch families!? Sign me up! This volume follows Morgana (a witch) and Oz (a vampire) and a negotiation gone wrong between their families. Each clan hates each other and blames the other for what happened. Morgana and Oz start to see not everything is as it seems and start to from a sort of friendship. I really liked the dynamic between the two. The art in this is amazing and super cute! I am excited to check out the next volume!
