About the series
Svetlana Chmakova wrote and illustrated this four-issue supernatural school series for Yen Press, set at a mysterious academy where young weirns—magical beings who must learn to control their powers—train alongside humans. Blending slice-of-life character dynamics with eerie fantasy, the story follows a group of students navigating friendship, secrets, and the shadowy forces lurking in their school's halls. Chmakova's warm, expressive art brings a distinct charm to this compact 2009–2010 series, which stands as an early showcase of her talent for crafting heartfelt, otherworldly adventures.
