But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch…until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, travelling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem…”
The manga is also being adapted into a TV anime, which will premiere in 2026. Watanabe Ayumu is directing the anime at BUG FILMS studio, and Crunchyroll has confirmed that it will stream the anime as it airs.
