This first volume in this newly translated into English manga series explores a world where witches hold the power of plants and are feared by the rest of humanity in an ecologically desolate world. Loss of innocence, loyalty and betrayal, and bravery and cowardice all play a part.

This would be a fantastic series for a younger audience. From an adult’s perspective, it lacked a level of character complexity that I was hoping for. Still, there is a lot here that feels worthy of checking out if it sparks your personal interest.

P.S. The wolf's design earned this review a whole extra star. Totally obsessed with it.
