Oh no. They've ended up in hell. Japanese highschool.

pg15: should be "zubinden"

Is there a name for stories where every person who isn't the main character is a complete sociopath/bully/jerk?

There's two words: lazy writing.

Noice

This is getting interesting

"Hey, you can revive little animals? So you are basically a white mage? Burn the witch!"

Who would react that way. e-e

This manga confuses me. I have no idea what to expect.

Starting to feel like witches deserve every bad thing that happens to them.

Seems like everyone in this world except Mari deserves bad things happening to them. Even Alice's initially motives were based in exploiting Mari for her own benefit.

The bird just fucking flying into the window and dying again had me on the floor laughing. almost could finish the chapter

Please stop referring to this as "lazy writing". Just call it what it is: "Bad Writing", thank you :)

Yeah, someone who could revive the dead with a touch would either be declared a messiah or burned as a deceiver not just written off as “gross”

Somehow I get the feeling that Alice & Mari are going to change everything in their world for the better.

(but that's just my opinion)

I initially did but I changed it to lazy because it's more specific as to the nature of the badness.

Hey mom, I’m home!

Mari revives animals
Everyone: "Ew gross"

Mari uses magic inadvertently and has no clue what's going on
Mari's mother: "yOu rUiNed mY liFe!"

I swear to god, there is no sign of intelligence anywhere.

Well, either they will prevent the End Of The World in the title, or bring it forth.

A lot of people sadly. People are dumb and superstitious even in the modern day.

Okay this has my full attention, little witch academy who?

Maybe, but superstitious hostility is generally rooted in religious doctrine and Japan's dominant religious traditions are practised rather loosely by most people and don't really stigmatize magic as a concept anyway. Most teenagers who aren't hyper religious would find actual magic pretty cool I suspect and if anything jealousy would be the source of conflict. Teenaged me would have thought Mari was the single coolest person to ever live.

Oh, she can revive animals... gross?.

Considering how heavily Japanese culture desires conformity above everything else, I rather doubt it. People get bullied over the stupidest shit just because they're a tiny bit different than everyone else.

Kinda reminding me of The Witch's Hammer, plus Little Witch Academa. Liking it so far, terrible people & all.

Of course the Three Stooges are more afraid of their angry teacher than the sexy literal demon they summoned.
So the dark scary place is... Japan?

Oh, she can revive animals... gross?.

Wait til' they find out she may be a yuri. That'll really set them off
