Review: ‘Flying Witch,’ Vol. 1
Flying Witch, vol. 1
Writer/artist: Chihiro Ishizuka
Vertical Comics; $10.95 Teenage Makoto is a witch and, as the title of the manga she stars in indicates, she does indeed fly. On a broom, of course, in the traditional manner of witches. That is not what makes her stand out as an outsider in Hirosaki, the relatively small town she is just in the process of moving to in the very first pages of Flying Witch. Nor is it what makes her a remarkable person, and a charming character for a reader to spend time with. Rather, the fact that Makoto is a witch is treated as almost incidental in these first few stories by Chihiro Ishizuka, a sort of in-story code for the fact that she is a character from a different place with a different background.
She and her familiar, a black cat who apparently talks to her, move from their home in the big city of Yokohama to stay with relatives while she continues to try and find her way in the world as a young witch. Her cousins Kei, a boy about her age, and Chinatsu, a little girl so young that she has no memory of ever having met Makoto, spend the most time with her, introducing her to their friend Nao, the town, and her new school. It’s quite an adjustment. While Chinatsu and Nao are surprised, fascinated and occasionally alarmed or frightened by aspects of Makoto’s witchy life, like her ability to fly on a broom, or finding a Mandrake, or getting a visit from the personified spirit of spring, Makoto finds wonder in the most mundane, everyday elements of their neighborhood, from the presence of snow (“Wonder if it’s okay to eat? Ooh! It’s cold!!”) to the appearance of a common pheasant, which she spends a great deal of time trying to catch.
This first volume of the series contains six chapters, introducing us to Makoto’s various quirks as she and Chito settle in, and by the final story we meet her older sister, a full-fledged witch in full command of many powerful spells whose very presence further emphasizes the lead’s gentle, easy-going nature—and the the gulf between the world of witches and of regular, non-magical people. Although, perhaps that’s the wrong term since, as Flying Witch reveals, there’s magic in everyone and everywhere and everything; one simply needs the right point of view to see it and appreciate its wonder.

Reviews for "The Cool Maker Magic Mixer: A Game-Changer for Playtime"
- Amy - 1/5 - I was so disappointed with the Cool Maker Magic Mixer. It advertised itself as a magical tool that could create all sorts of cool treats, but it fell far short of my expectations. The instructions were confusing and the mixer itself was difficult to use. The end result was a total mess, and I ended up wasting a lot of ingredients. I regret buying this product and would not recommend it to anyone.
- John - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Cool Maker Magic Mixer, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The concept of a magic mixer that could create different desserts was intriguing, but the execution was lacking. The mixer struggled to mix the ingredients properly, resulting in lumpy and uneven textures. Additionally, the product felt cheaply made and broke after just a few uses. I was really hoping for a fun and magical experience, but I was left feeling let down.
- Sarah - 2/5 - The Cool Maker Magic Mixer was a disappointment. The mixer itself was loud and made strange noises while in use. It also didn't mix the ingredients evenly, resulting in clumps of unmixed powder or gel. The taste of the desserts created with this mixer was also underwhelming. Overall, I found the product to be poorly designed and not worth the price. I would not recommend it to others.
