i think the manga is really just short on the writing aspect. the art and character designs are amazing, but it's expected from osamu nishi. she never disappoints in these aspects. however, i do think that the writing feels a bit lackluster. not entirely great, not entirely bad, just okay. i feel like it could be better. this is just my own opinion on the manga though.
plus, it's only been a few chapters anyways. maybe it will get better as the manga progresses.
apologies for the grammar mistakes lol
I think so too, can't really blame her though considering she has another ongoing series that she's been writing for years now (mairimashta iruma kun) so I understand the struggle of trying to focus the writing style between different stories as a writer myself.
My critiques are mainly on the fact that the whole story feels too "plot armored" considering that majiks are portrayed to be difficult to acquire & extremely deadly at times. But I suppose what balances it out (in my opinion) is the fact that the MC's team has THE greatest witch (it would be nonsense to make her lose easily just for the sake of plot), and the fact they have Uroro, king majik, on their team (albeit they only use him once per 3 days considering Ichi's magic output isn't good enough yet).
There's also the current ongoing argument about the "lack of deaths" so far, but seeing that the time majik got erased, there's hope that the author won't try to baby the series by avoiding adding such themes.
BUT I'm a firm believer on not making any character deaths unless absolutely necessary (ahem VERY targeted towards certain mangas nowadays. Yall jus be killing everybody), so with the way the author is going about it, I'm glad they took the time majik since it was a 'necessary death' in a sense that it was part of the world building mechanic (the baby was "sucking" his power which is likely why majik+human couples with children have never been seen before since their children would eventually take away their parent's power until they disappear. Kinda like a Rose Quartz and Steven situation).
I really hope the 'traitor' (won't spoil the name for now since ik some of you have a tendency to read comments before catching up with the latest chapters) turns out to be mind controlled.
It's also a tad bit unfair if they're fully confirmed as a 'traitor' considering the fact we've barely delved into the other major witches' backstories yet, so this'll either be an expected "plot twist" (since it feels so out of nowhere to the point its obvious they're just being manipulated) or one of the top ten worst writing moves in history (the reveal of them being a 'traitor' will fall flat due to the lack of lore & emotional investment on a character who's own name hasn't been reveal till today).
