About the series
In Witchcraft Works, Ryu Mizunagi crafts a supernatural high school saga where a timid boy named Takamiya finds himself under the magical protection of the formidable, silent class beauty Kagari—who turns out to be a powerful witch. Published by Vertical from 2014 to 2020, this 14-issue series blends comedic romantic tension with witchy action, exploring a world of rival magical factions and the secret bonds that tie its leads together. Mizunagi’s distinctive art and playful inversion of the damsel-in-distress trope give the story a fresh, energetic feel. It’s a compact, visually striking read for fans of school-life fantasy with a clever twist.
