Flying Witch, Volume 8, Paperback

A surreal comedy in the vein of Yotsuba& and Nichijou with a magical theme combines humor, slice of life and traditional Japanese culture in this debut work from Chihiro Ishizuka.

Makoto returns to rural Japan to work on her magic after being away for six years. In her new home, she along with her black cat Chito, share some of what she has learned as she gets used to living in a slower and more curious part of the country.

Very little is known about Chihiro Ishizuka. He was born and raised in Japan's far north and he broke into the comics world with Flying Witch in 2012. It is his first and only published comic, and is about to be adapted into an animated tv series.
