Manhwa Review: This Witch of Mine

In these times, if you’re too good or bad at something or simply too beautiful, you’re called a witch. Up against twists of fate and time, an outcast young boy and a mysterious witch will need more than just magic spells and incantations; they’ll need each other.

-Review-

General thoughts- It’s been a while since I last read a really satisfying manhwa. This manhwa had me feeling many things overall. It made me question mankind and its vicious cycles violence. It made me think of why many people choose to suffer for the sake of other people’s happiness. It’s hard to see the good of things when things get bad, but it’s always easy to see the bad parts even when things are going smoothly.

Story– This manhwa follows the side of 4 different witches (probably more to be honest) and a familiar, who was in an unofficial contract with a witch – so very one-shot vibes. While generally, I tend to enjoy long reads, since it helps me better connect with characters, this manhwa did a really really good job in helping us connect with the main characters and tied it overall to a general story. I think if I had to point one thing out, I feel like the story timeline jumps around a bit and sometimes it takes a second to remember which timeline the story is currently in.

Characters – Not much to say, but I did luckily prepare myself with tissues for two of the reads. I think overall, my favorite witches were Phillipea and Lily (will not give context HAHA). To be honest, I’m not sure if I spelled the first name correctly either. But both stories are closely related to one another and made me feel many things – butterflies, deep down hatred, joy, and despair. (Sadness no more since I’ve already went over the 5 stages of grief by then).
Just because I like these characters does not mean that the other characters were less charming. I like how they included LGBTQ+ in some of the stories. Fascinating even since usually they’re very touched upon in manhwas.

Art – Just look at the cover art. The consistently stays throughout the manhwa, if not better. *chef kiss* thank you author and artist for keeping the quality high.

Overall, I think I’ll definitely re-read this manhwa at a later time to see what else I’ve missed. I’m super glad that I was able to find this manhwa and read it to its final chapter. Yes, the story is completed so feel free to deep dive

Rating: 10/10 (yes it’s that good I had to come back and post about it HAHA)

Witch of Mine

In these times, if you're too good or bad at something or simply too beautiful, you're called a witch. Up against twists of fate and time, an outcast young boy and a mysterious witch will need more than just magic spells and incantations; they'll need each other.

However, she discovers that being a witch isn't all spells and potions. Through numerous trials and tribulations, Sophie learns valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and the importance of staying true to oneself. One of the standout features of "This Witch of Mine" is its diverse and relatable cast of characters.

Reviews

This manhwa has terrible synopses, so I will offer a basic breakdown:

There exist magical beings called witches, who have the power to travel through across both time and different dimensions/worlds.

The "grandma" witch (who happens to look like a young girl, because trope, and because these witches do not age) orders the younger witches to travel to different time periods and/or worlds in the pursuit of love with human beings.

However, witches have a strange concept of love, at least in the eyes of a human. They can manifest the obsessiveness of human love, but do not understand empathy nor the worth of human life. This manhwa . explores the romances of each witch, which all spiral around this central concept (though there is one exception, which I'll get to).

Personally, I was only invested in the romances of Philippa and Lily, because they felt the most human. In other words, I liked how they developed human understanding through their experiences with love, while all the other witches basically stopped at the first step of questionable obsession and didn't really develop much else.

Philippa is the redhead you see in the cover and is the first witch whose romance we see. Her story is the most fleshed out, which contributes to her being my favorite witch. After her main arc, you have to read the last side story if you want closure, since the manhwa never returns to her story in between.

What about Lily? Well, technically Lily isn't a witch. She's actually Philippa's familiar (basically a magical companion, in this case a cat in a human-like form). Because she isn't a witch, her romance never really has that overbearing phase of obsession, so it is easier to read and connect with.

Overall, I give this manhwa an 8 because I wasn't invested in all of the characters, as I explained above. Also, be aware that it contains a fair amount of both fanservice and blood.
