Criminy! I'm pleasantly surprised by this wacky fun dropping on my lap.

Still on chapter 1 but I have to comment on the sheer whiplash and crazy casual delivery on "Your potions are famous in the entire country, here're all your thank you letters! Oh btw there's a witch hunt yo, half our friends have been burned alive."

...You didn't think to lead with the witch hunts!?

Edit: Finished up to the latest chapter, man that was a lot more mature subject matter than I expected with the juvenile humor and comedy tag.

The glimpse of Rea on https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/witches_and_cigarettes_ch11_2#4 along with her doll-like design and tendency to be represented by cog shapes make me suspicious her body might be artificial and that's what her head really looks like under a powerful glamour spell, hence her memory loss.

Judging by the other witches' backstories, I expect she got attacked by a mob that either thought they killed her or got uno-reversed by her powers and that's the trauma that gave her amnesia.

...Also Tama apparently used to be a shinobi!?

I love this series

I'm glad this series made it to dynasty reader

This... Is surprisingly good! It's funny, tragic and lightheaded at the same time ~

I bet Rea's is pretty bad, yeah. Not sure how it can top Mode's 'all my animal companions died literally throwing themselves on the fire that was meant to kill me, except the bear I was closest to, who the humans killed directly'

These witches got trauma.

hell yeah!!!!! I love shibata Kouhei's art and this one is a real doozy both in the art and story department.

I'm against smoking, but if hot gay witches were involved, I'd have to make an exception.

And hot damn, this mangaka is a freak. AWESOME!
I want this story to get at least 20 volumes and several adaptations.

It's a crazy ride so far, and I definitely want more!

This series = (90% stupid and goofy) + (10% romance, psychological trauma, and gut punch)

Yoooooo lesss goo

I'm glad this series made it to dynasty reader

I helped doing that :)

Aaa I love this, oh my gosh...

Finally this fabulous witch Yuri made it to Dynasty Scans! This Mangaka’s works are just amazing, so stylish and so much personality.

And yes!!! This kind of storytelling needs so many volumes and several adaptations. The amount of details shown and the effort put into it all is just incredible.
(The girls here are really slender, too. Don’t see that often in the women of today’s anime/manga zone!)

This series = (90% stupid and goofy) + (10% romance, psychological trauma, and gut punch)

I’ve said it before. If done well, this can very well be the next “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” with double-downed dark and Yuri version. And both happens to be 90% comedy with individuals from a different space fitting in modern society, and 10% dark past and drama. And both featured flat-chested women, crazy-infatuated and capable helper girl who happens to be well-endowed, chill little loli, vast magical powers able to do just about anything, and a hell lot of “older than they look” for these newcomers.

Hope this manga gets more attention!
