Well it's a Zanka manga alright. Though I'm a bit worried from now on Zanka is just gonna let each series just kind of peter out. I suppose they aren't exactly plot heavy though...

Cute! Thought I recognized the art. Zanka really loves Master/servant dynamics. Well I’m here for it, especially with kemonomimi characters.

i took a glance at the author when i thought this artstyle was kind of familiar. turns out it was zanka.
this gives off maid and mistress vibes, although not particularly maid and mistress (i think? LOL). oh and new zanka manga release?!? thats epic

A great talent with another beautiful story that may have great potential! It feels heart-warming and I expect many cute and wonderful scenarios with the witch and her sweet familiar!

"Yes well, so I'm a top class mage, right? And I can create life from nothing! So I decided to make these incredibly beautiful sexy girls who are impossible to tell from real humans! But then these girls fall madly in love with me and they want to have sex with me! Oh what a predicament I'm in, oh I'm so pitiful, oh woe is me!"

Zanka has such an obsession with creating maids that they've now created a character that created a maid.

I do think we need someone to put Zanka's work in a real plot. Canon, Akiyama Haru or maybe Takashima Hiromi
I mean it's good that we have tons of cute stuffs but a good story will place Zanka on a better spot

The real magic is how Zanka creates not only the same manga but the same chapter every time, and yet it works every time. How mysterious.

I never thought it was possible for Zanka to create something sexier than her usual catgirl, I'm so glad they proved me wrong.

When you recognize an artists fetish before their art….

The lack of a maid tag confused me initially.

What kind of heathen worker of profane magicks makes a cute familiar and DOESN'T think about banging her? I thought this girl was supposed to be good at this witchcraft thing!

Yup. If I had to take a stab at why it works--
We never get tired of wish fulfillment and well drawn gorgeous girls (and their boobies).

I was worried about Zanka for a bit, too, but then I saw that the familiar was wearing a maid uniform under her cloak, and everything was right again.

The day there is no maid in a Zanka yuri shall be the day I despair

What word os being translated as "Familiar" in this manga exactly? If the witch created her, wouldn't she be more of a homunculus? Doesn't "familiar" usually mean an already-extant creature that a magic user formed a bond with?

well at least the mage realizes the mistake of giving her creation a worship complex when it interferes with her free will

I think a familiar refers more to the relationship between the mage and familiar, rather than just its nature.

Yep, it's a Zanka manga all right. And I love it. I can't wait to read 50 more chapters of the same premise.

...If that sounds sarcastic, it really isn't meant to. I'm all in for this. Give me more please.

I don't know what was used here, but the word most often used for familiar in Japanese has been used for summoned spirits, homonculi, and contracted creatures. All that seems to be required for the title is a marginally supernatural entity bound/contracted to a mage.

idk, I feel like "mage and familiar" isn't the correct translation from Japanese, maybe "mage and maid" would be closer? yeah I feel like it would
