Character development. was lacking for the main characters. The main character didn't really develop a new way of thinking but rather just gained information about the new world while Kagari didn't develop much besides giving more freedom to Takamiya.
It looks great, but some of the story is just random and strange and the characters needed more time to develop with a smaller cast of actually relevant characters. As for the supporting characters the thing I appreciate a ton is that when you see them you don t roll your eyes and wish they d give the mc s more screen time.
What sets "Mangz Witch Craft Works" apart is its unique approach to depicting witches. The series showcases a wide range of magical abilities, from elemental magic to summoning creatures and enchanting objects. Each witch possesses their own distinct powers and strengths, making the world of witchcraft in this series incredibly diverse and fascinating.
