Final Score: 7.5 out of 10
I d describe Wandering Witch The Journey of Elaina as a relaxing, rather than exciting, manga, but the variety of stories helped to keep things engaging and Elaina proved to be a fun and loveable lead character. She doesn t appear to be on a quest, and while it seems like she does want to see her teacher again, I think she knows exactly where her old teacher is i.
From herbs and plants to candles and stones, Home Depot has become a go-to destination for witches in need of supplies.

The Anti-Social Geniuses Manga Review: Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina Volume 1
Helen: Elaina is a witch — she wasn’t born as one but she had to train hard to become one, just like everyone else. She’s talented but still young and, given how selective the witch exams are, she’s extraordinary young to be a full-fledged witch. A loner by result, but perhaps not by nature, Elaina is using her magic to travel the world, see new sites, and maybe sometimes help make some small parts of it a better place.
The Journey of Elaina starts off episodic, perhaps like a magical Kino’s Journey, and it seems like it’s going to remain episodic for at least the near future. This is perfectly fine, but I also wish it had started off with a little more grounding. We do spend time learning how Elaina became a witch and to an extent why she wanted to become a witch (and how magic works in this fantasy world), but anything beyond that seems to be an unintentional mystery and that left me feeling disconnected from her. She doesn’t appear to be on a quest, and while it seems like she does want to see her teacher again, I think she knows exactly where her old teacher is (i.e, she isn’t searching for her), and it doesn’t seem like witches are required to travel or anything like that. Even if the story is episodic I do need some motivation for her to travel, even if it’s as simple as a desire to see the world.
I do think it was an odd move for the story to begin with Elaina visiting a country of just magic users. Not just because we don’t come across any other witches in this volume (aside from Elaina’s teacher in flashbacks) but also because Elaina forms a “deep” bond with a fellow magic user, Saya, in this first chapter that just doesn’t feel earned. None of Elaina’s stays are very long, including this one, and it just felt tough to believe the story when it said that this stop is one that will leave behind a strong memory. In short, the first chapter just feels very different from the other chapters so far; I’m curious if the original light novels also started with this story or if the manga did some re-arranging (as is sometimes the case with these adaptations).
At the same time, even if Elaina’s relationship with Saya seems to have progressed too quickly for me to completely buy into it, that chapter and the flashback with Elaina’s teacher were easily the best chapters in this volume. Itsuki Nanno’s art is quite pretty, and more detailed than it appears at first glance, but it was these character moments that grabbed my eye more than any moments of flashy magic. I’m curious how Elaina comes off in the light novels where there’s only text; here she feels like a confident, and bit spoiled, young woman but I feel like there might be deeper emotions and insecurities that we haven’t dived into yet.
Naturally, I want more of this story, whether it be this manga adaptation, the light novels, or the upcoming anime adaptation, so I can find out a bit more about this wandering witch.
Helen’s rating: 3.5 out of 5
Justin: Elaina began reading the Adventures of Nique series, where a witch traveled around the world and wrote about her illustrious tales. This inspired Elaina to become a witch herself, and some years later, she did. With her broom, robe, and brooch in tow, she sets off on an adventure and travels around the world just as Nique did!
The manga version of Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina is basically the light novel version. With no real grand goal aside from traveling, we follow Elaina as she stops by countries and towns and learns how they operate. While there were certainly complaints with some stories in the light novel version, I have to keep my mouth shut this time. That’s mainly because the manga adapts the ones I ultimately liked.
Now first off, this doesn’t mean the rest of the ones won’t get adapted. For this first volume five stories that were in the light novel are adapted here: the first one where she meets the novice Saya; when she travels to a flower field with a girl whose fate has been set in stone; when she ventures to a country where the prices for travelers are insane; her days back as an apprentice witch; and a short story where she meets the muscleman. In the light novel, that’s chapters 1, 2, 4, 9, and 3 respectively, with 3 being a short after the bonus short story. While future volumes will pick and choose, they could still adapt a few more stories, but in a way that flows a bit differently.
So in short, this is probably why I prefer the manga over the light novel version, which you’ll see my thoughts next week. The order in this version feels less disconnected and not feeling all over the place. We can get a better sense of Elaina’s upbringing and personality with this type of order. Visually, where we can actually see Elaina saddened over losing her brooch or her struggling to find her place as a witch after thoroughly passing her practical exam, is also another added difference in its favor. But as already mentioned, volume 1 adapts a few of the strongest chapters so far, so there was little room to really complain.
It also totally feels like Elaina’s personality shines a bit more in this form, but that’s likely due to what’s drawn so far. It will be interesting to see what other chapters are turned into manga form, but for its debut volume, this is about as good of a start it could be. Will certainly see how others will be drawn next.

Reviews for "Witchcraft Crafts Made Easy with Home Depot's Wide Selection"
- Jenna - 1 star
I was incredibly disappointed with the witchcraft supplies at Home Depot. First of all, their selection was extremely limited. They had a few basic items like candles and herbs, but that was about it. I was hoping for a wider variety of products like crystals, tarot cards, and spell books. Additionally, the quality of the products they did have was subpar. The candles I bought were poorly made and didn't burn evenly. Overall, I wouldn't recommend Home Depot as a reliable source for witchcraft supplies.

While I appreciate the effort Home Depot is making to cater to different customer needs, their witchcraft supplies section is lacking in various aspects. Firstly, their prices are quite high compared to specialized metaphysical stores. Secondly, the variety of products they offer is disappointingly limited. I was hoping to find a wider range of herbs, crystals, and unique tools, but I was left wanting more. Lastly, the staff seemed ill-informed and unhelpful when I asked questions about specific items. Overall, I suggest seeking out dedicated metaphysical shops for a better selection and expertise in witchcraft supplies.
- Sarah - 3 stars
Home Depot's attempt to offer witchcraft supplies is commendable, but unfortunately it falls short. The aisle dedicated to witchcraft supplies was small and poorly organized, making it difficult to find what I needed. The quality of the items was also questionable, with some candles appearing cheap and low-quality. While it's a convenient option for those who may not have access to specialized stores, I would recommend exploring other options for a better shopping experience and higher quality products.
