Graphic Novel Review: Witch of Mine Volume 1

Published by: Ablaze

Written by: Haeyoon

Illustrated by: Mas

Ages: 15+

“If you are just a little smart or different from the others, if you sing, dance, or draw well, or if you are in any way excessively good or bad at something, or if you are extremely beautiful

…you will be called a witch”

Cordelia stands out in her village. When you combine her unparalleled beauty with her knowledge of medicinal herbs, people have begun to whisper that she might be more powerful than most, usually hinting at “witch”.

Jealousy comes off strongly from Philippa, who sees Cordelia’s beauty as a threat to her own. A real troublemaker, she does whatever she can to get people focused on the beautiful healer…

Collin knows what it means to be outcast. Shunned by the people not only for being an orphan, but also having only one arm, he dared not draw attention to himself… for fear of being the focus of the villager’s ire.

Yet something links these three characters. Something that no one could have ever expected. Not only is magic involved, but when two of them begin a deep loving relationship, time itself won’t be able to stop them.

Author Haeyoon (YOUR MAJESTY, PLEASE SPARE ME THIS TIME) and illustrator Mas (LES PRAIRIES D’OR) bring the first Volume of their popular Korean manga WITCH OF MINE to the States. The strong romantic themes as well as the magical mysteries contained within these pages will definitely hold your attention. I really enjoyed the power and dedication these characters showed and am very curious to see what the next Volume will bring.

Ages 15+
