Book 1 of 4: A Witch's Love at the End of the World by Kujira
4 Stars for this graphic novel/Manga.

I've read a lot of graphic novels but this is my first Manga. I know right? I've collected comics for many, many years (mainly DC and Indy graphic novels such as Strangers in Paradise). When Manga first became popular, it was mostly young girls reading them, so I never got into them. Some of the girls I know (co-worker's daughters), even studied Japanese! I read about this series about teenage witches who fall in love and try to save the world and so I decided to give it a shot.

This is a world in which witches have been hiding for many, many years after almost disappearing after years of persecution and killings by the non-magical humans. They are waiting until the right time for revenge.

Alice Keating is the most talented and powerful teenage witch at Sternenlichtl, a secret school for training of witches. We are introduced to a new transfer student, Mari Muguruma (rumored to be a human!). So far she hasn't shown any powers, and she is shunned by her fellow students. She learns that the goal of the school is to eventually take revenge on the humans. Alice has been assigned to be Mari's tutor. 

The first book, the two discover Mari's talents and that Alice has been told by her grandmother that when a witch falls in love, she loses her powers…
