Jimmy’s Weekly Manga Recommendations Week 43:

Flying Witch

“Makoto Kowata is a 15 year-old witch-in-training who moves out of her parents' home in Yokohama to live with relatives in rural Aomori. She has a lot to learn about magic and living in the countryside, and she's enthusiastic to begin these new adventures. Balancing her days with both the otherworldly and the mundane, Makoto learns to cast magic spells one day and grow her own vegetables the next. With her feline familiar Chito, her nomadic sister Akane, and her cousins, Kei and Chinatsu, Makoto makes the most out of each day - whether she's making enchanted snacks, accidentally summoning a giant flock of crows or exploring ancient ruins on the back of a flying whale!”

Since next week’s recommendation won’t get written and posted till until November I decided to do the spooky Halloween recommendation this week. And boy is it a spooky one. It’s about witches, see? Alright so it’s another iyashikei slice of life manga, what can I say we don’t really do horror in the Carter house.

Flying Witch, like every other 10/10 slice of life knocks it out of the park not just by having a fun and charming cast of characters that you want to spend time with, it captures the powerful connections between people and their environment, the land, the community, the seasons, the weather, etc. Real blood and soil stuff. And since it’s about a magical world of witches that secretly coexists with the normal world, it’s sort of like Harry Potter if Harry Potter was made for Nazis. Or heterosexual men in general. This one is peak comfy, peak magical rural fantasy, peak slice of life. Even if you don’t usually like slice of life because you think it’s boring you might enjoy this one since the magical aspect makes for more exciting scenarios every chapter than you normally get from the genre.
