Majo wa Mioji kara

A sexy comedy manga about a still single 300 year-old witch who’s luck finally might be changing after a reincarnation of her former lover appears in her life.

This manga is great. There are so many funny scenes where the witch, Mikage Kurokawa, struggles with her notoriety as the “Moonlight Witch” who just can’t seem to catch a break in love. Every time her gross superior at work tries to hit on her she curses him and he gets a mild heart attack. When she summons the demon Baphomet to join her for her lonely at-home sabbath they reject her for her old age. Even when she gets together with her fellow witch friends it just turns into a drunken girl’s night out right out of Tokyo Tarareba Girls. Even her black cat familiar Noir still hisses at her every time she walks by. I love how Mikage gets so lost in her love of dramatic fantasies that every situation just stimulates her.

The main story seems to follow her wanting a relationship with a new co-worker who might be the reincarnation of famous Bakumatsu samurai and former love interest Takasugi Shinsaku. Bringing in famous historical figures would be cliche but the writing by Shigemitsu Harada is so enjoyable I couldn’t care less. Since this manga is serialized in Young Animal, artist Kyujo Matsumoto doesn’t shy away from making Mikage bodacious but so far it’s been pretty tame with any fan service.

I’m enjoying this quite a lot and I hope that it get’s an official release because Morgana would love this.
