Sounds like you may have a magical talent all your own for storytelling
As ever, I am impressed with your story analysis (and your name), I Thot You Was a Toad.
LOL, you read enough of these things, you get a sense for story construction in 200-odd pages. This manga is cute as a button, but, as my writer friends would say, the author buried the lead.

First there was the Mystery of the Missing Content. Then Presto! Blammo! Shazzam! It suddenly appeared (after a flag and a helloooo?) Just like magic.

Not the one about the wizard and the real estate agent who went out house-hunting together, which was all sweet and cute and fluffy and kind of mundane. (I mean, he's a wizard. Can't he just whip up a palace?) No, I'm talking about the story of the Evil, Conniving Stalker who gave our four-eyed megane's cat Six Freaky Eyes. I'm talking about the nail-biting suspense where wizard and salesman hunt down the evildoer together, their narrow escapes and, at last, that thrilling and terrifying showdown with more fireworks, psychedelia and blue genies than a Beatles movie. Because I wanna read that story. And, somewhere along the way, between mortgage amortization schedules and insurance plans and "he loves me, he loves me not" dithering, that story just quietly slipped away ....
