It was also vandalized a couple of years ago.

I see they still haven't fixed the damage done to its face. Looks horrendous. Poor woman.

eeek i'm so glad we're getting sal's new work here (⁠＾⁠∇⁠＾⁠)⁠ﾉ seems like it'll be kinda coming-of-age, how fun!

Completely unrelated but I love your pfp and your username, it's beautiful

Surely they're in garden they cannot leave unless they have sex.

I see I'm not the only one who thought exactly this!

We are all in too deep
Yuri courses through our veins

Yes that is a real statue at the end there in Salem, Massachusetts that depicts actress Elizabeth Montgomery as her character Samantha Stephens from the 1960s sitcom Bewitched.
It was erected 20 years ago despite some local protests criticizing it for trivializing the tragic events of the Salem witch trials.

that's crazy
you learn something new everyday

I didn't check the comments but am I the only one who feels like if you replaced the word witch by "queer" it could be some sort of story about how some people accept the word and reappropriate it to define themselves and to not be ashamed and those who want to move on from the slur and just be unbothered by labels and all that jazz
I don't know maybe I'm overthinking things
Maybe this isn't some sort of metaphor and I'm reading into it too much
But yeah, within my friend group lots of us reappropriate slurs that were aimed that queer people or disabled people (because they are queer or and disabled) so that the word doesn't hurt when it's used against them and also not feel ashamed anymore but some of them absolutely hate that which has caused friction inside our own little niche bubble of eccentric people
The counsil of witches Sabbath kind of add even more to my theory
Some people in the lgbt community think we should be loud and proud while some others prefer laying low
The counsil could represent the latter and the our protagonist witch the former
I like overthinking things
Hopefully I don't start a little kerfuffle because of my analysis but oh well

I don't know if it has to do much with "reclaiming slurs," especially given this is translated and not originally in English, but there's definitely room to interpret Hanako's hatred of being called "witch" as a matter of repression on a marginalized identity. But that's also the topic pretty directly of "Ayako Is In Love With Hiroko", so I wouldn't be surprised if Sal Jiang is branching out to a different kind of lesbian story this time.

Interesting, I never read this artist's other works.
I'll check it out!
But yeah, my little wannabe analysis is just something I thought up real quick
I maybe be overthinking things
And yeah I didn't really think about the fact it was not in english originally lmao

In the end, I bought the volume, it's 5 chapters and it ends the same as here.

So I guess they forgot to put the "To be continued" at the end for some reason.

I renamed it to 5.

There's nothing much as bonus, just a few illustrations and a 4 panels comic inside the cover, so I don't think I'll bother.

Cute little extra! I'm guessing that "something she wants to focus on" is related to the recent Season 2 announcement for the Ayaka is in Love With Hiroko live-action.

Sigh~ so cute yet so clueless at the same time

No way, that’s so cool it’s getting a season 2! Seriously, so many great things are happening for yuri this year in terms of announcements. ^v^

Discussing her day-to-day with her friends. Telling those errr romantic frogs that she’s playing with a human. So innocent. Everyone is going to know her business.

I'm prince moon #0 fan
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE NEW CHARACTERS!!!

Prince Moon is one of the 4 runaways they have to catch and she seems very suspicious and might have already caught on. I'm a bit worried about what she wants from this private meeting, especially after that look. Still love the energy of this series! Sal is great.

If Hana will be in danger, hope Sada saves her and that makes Hana stops calling Sada things like "attention whore" (；′⌒`)

I love their teeths

I adore this art too much! The private witch shadows meeting was so cool and creepy. I'm so invested in the plot, characters, and am so a Prince Moon stan! I related to Hana too hard.

hana had so many cute faces in this one!! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

i might just be dumb but i cant tell if prince moon is a boy or a girl T_T i thought maybe they were a handsome girl but i could be wrong

Sal Jiang is super good at illustrating diverse faces with different charms and ethnicity's ^_^

All witches are girls. Obviously.

She's a lady. That's why her being called "prince" is significant. She's just handsome and regal. You're not dumb for that.
