Flying Witch is a slice of life series by Chihiro Ishizuka. It tells about a witch named Makoto Kowata who recently moved into a relative's house and her life as a member of the house and as a witch. The series began as a one-shot with a similar title (with a star between the two words as a distinction) which was published under the pen name Chikai Ishioka.

There are currently 19 chapters translated.

An anime series has already been announced. No other details available.

Oh hey, this does have a manga thread!

Chapter 26 is translated. We return to the cafe, and get to see more of Hina the ghost (yaaay!) and the lovely and adorable Anzu (SQUEEEEEEE!!). The more Anzu we get, the better, if you ask me.

We also get to see something of official "witch's work" as Makoto is contracted for her first job while she is there. Like most things in this series it's actually pretty down-to-earth: a mother got called in to work and needs someone to watch her five-year-old for a few hours. A simple babysitting job... with a minor magical twist that y'all can go read about.

This was good. I love seeing the cafe and its inhabitants, and learning more about the laid-back world of witches.

Vertical announced today via Twitter that they have licensed the manga. The first volume is expected some time in Spring 2017.

Arara?! That's great news! Although it feels like a long way off.

Dop · 2016-05-23, 04:31

So looking forward to the manga's English release, but yes, that does seem like a long time to wait!

Fufufu · 2019-04-11, 06:10

So Chinatsu also a witch now.

Tenzen12 · 2019-04-11, 06:25

And people argued this manga will not have any romance! But they were all wrong, we got harem, with engagement, childhood romance and stuff

MeoTwister5 · 2019-04-11, 06:45

I've held off reading the fan translation because I really wanted to buy this when I finish completing Spice and Wolf.

Fufufu · 2019-04-11, 07:02

In Wiki says that Nao thinks that Kei and Makoto make a great couple, where can I find this in manga?

Nowhere. Whoever wrote that probably doesn't even read the manga. There's nothing between Kei and Makoto, and Nao knows that very well.

Tenzen12 · 2019-04-11, 11:17

I don't remember that either, but it's not like I know every offhand remark characters did across the manga. It could happen.

Plus Kei and Makoto are engaged that hardly count as nothing.

The engaged thing was a joke. Did you actually read the chapter?

Anyway, this is one of my favorite manga and I read all the chapters several times. There's absolutely nothing between Makoto and Kei.

Fufufu · 2019-04-11, 13:06

We all know the roundabout way and that they will eventually end up together.

Tenzen12 · 2019-04-11, 13:13

Obviously there isn't anything between Kei and Makoto. But
whether there is anything between them, whether they would make great couple or whether Nao think or said in any context they would are three completely different issues. Any of these three can be true or false independly on each other.

Also you should first learn recognize jokes, before teaching it others.

Well, I can tell you that didn't happen either. What did happen is that some characters think that Nao and Kei are a couple. Her parents, for instance.

Fufufu · 2019-04-11, 13:47

Exactly my point the author is throwing these as joke being engaged and love triangle which is a roundabout way from the author to see which pairing the fans are exciting to.

I doubt there will ever be any romance in this manga. It's already established as a very low key slice of life and it works just fine that way. The fact it doesn't have any romance is actually a charm point.

So I assume you can say that with same confidence about Drama CD from 2016?

Fufufu · 2019-04-11, 17:45

There is Drama CD? If possible could you tell us what was it about.

Tenzen12 · 2019-04-11, 18:09

Well I didn't get lot from it. In first track Nao, Makoto and Chinatsu making Takoyaki. They also mention Kei lot.

In second track Akane, Makoto and Inukai talk about divining (maybe?). I did some other things so I caught even less with my terrible japanese then usually. Apparently rest of CD was soundrack.
