Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled deep within the enchanted forest, there lived a young adventurer named Henry. Henry had always been fascinated with tales of magic and the supernatural, often spending hours engrossed in books about witches and wizards. One sunny morning, as Henry was walking through the village market, he noticed a peculiar-looking woman with long, flowing black hair and piercing green eyes. Intrigued, he approached her and struck up a conversation. Much to his surprise, she introduced herself as Elara, a powerful witch who had chosen to settle in the village. Henry was captivated by Elara's knowledge of the mystical arts and her tales of enchantments and spells.

Anime / Little Witch Academia (2013)
Little Witch Academia is a 2013 half-hour animated short film produced by Studio TRIGGER as part of Japan's "Young Animator Training Project," a government-sponsored program which hopes to train new animators under the guidance of industry masters; in this case, Yoh Yoshinari of Studio Gainax fame. The film is the first installment in the Little Witch Academia franchise.
The short film follows Atsuko "Akko" Kagari, a witch-in-training at Luna Nova, a European Wizarding School. Akko dreams of following in the footsteps of Shiny Chariot, whose flashy stage magic captivated Akko during her youth. But Akko has two major problems standing between her and her dream: Akko doesn't come from a wizard family (she can't even fly a broom properly) and most of the wizarding community thinks of Shiny Chariot as little more than a charlatan, both of which makes her incredibly unpopular and the subject of mockery amongst her teachers and her peers, particuarly by local queen bee, Diana Cavenidish.
One day, when Akko and her friends, the shy and quiet Lotte Jannson and the mischivous potion loving Sucy Manbavaran, are assigned to go on a labyrinthine treasure hunt deep beneath the school, Diana, in a act of pride and recklessness, accidentally unleashes a threat that threatens to take away Luna Nova's magic and destroy the school. Can Akko's faith in Shiny Chariot ultimately save her friends and their magic? Maybe with the help of a special staff that once belonged to her idol, she can.

Shortly afterwards, Trigger would later upload the film onto YouTube with English subs, which would see the film recieve a large surge in popularity in the west (receving over 850,000 views until it was taken down), as many grew attached to its animation and Harry Potter-esque setting and cast. The short film, alongside the later Kill la Kill, would ultimately go on to establish Trigger as a big name in the modern anime world, on top of establishing Yoh Yoshinari as one of the studio's big name directors.
The film would later receive a sequel in 2015, titled Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade.
Not to be confused with the 2017 anime of the same name.
Henry's bravery and determination would complement Elara's magical abilities perfectly. Together, they could embark on thrilling adventures, helping the village overcome various challenges and protect it from the nefarious creatures of the forest. However, not everyone in the village was as accepting of Elara's presence. Some villagers viewed her as a threat, associating her with dark magic and dangerous rituals. They whispered rumors and spread fear throughout the community, making it difficult for Elara to feel welcome. Undeterred, Henry stood beside Elara, defending her honor and proving to the villagers that she was a force for good. With each triumph over adversity, the villagers began to see Elara for the kind-hearted and powerful witch she truly was. Together, Henry and Elara became a formidable team, revered as heroes in the village. They used their unique talents to help those in need, their partnership becoming an inspiration to others. Henry showed the world that witches should not be feared but embraced, and that their magical abilities could be harnessed for the greater good. As time passed, the village prospered under Henry and Elara's watchful eyes. They had overcome prejudice and fear, forging a bond that proved that individuals from different worlds could come together and create something extraordinary. In the end, it was a tale of acceptance, friendship, and the limitless power that comes when two unlikely allies join forces. Henry and Elara's partnership demonstrated that by embracing our differences and working together, we can achieve remarkable things and overcome any obstacle, no matter how magical or mundane..

I really wanted to like "Partnered with a Witch" because I'm a fan of supernatural romances, but this book left me disappointed. The main characters lacked depth and chemistry, making it hard for me to become invested in their relationship. The plot felt predictable and cliché, and the writing style was average at best. Overall, I found the book to be underwhelming and would not recommend it to others.
2. John - 1 star
I found "Partnered with a Witch" to be quite unappealing. The storyline was filled with tropes and the characters were one-dimensional. The dialogue felt forced and unrealistic, making it difficult to connect with the story. Additionally, the pacing was off, with some scenes dragging on while others felt rushed. I was hoping for a unique and engaging supernatural romance, but unfortunately, this book fell far short of my expectations.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Partnered with a Witch," but it failed to deliver. The protagonist was incredibly naïve and made questionable decisions throughout the book, which made it hard for me to root for her. The romance between the witch and her partner felt forced and lacked genuine emotion. The world-building was also lacking, leaving me feeling disconnected from the story. Overall, I found the book to be lackluster and would not recommend it to others who are looking for a captivating supernatural romance.
