i think its good, but not as good as mint na bokura, thts just the best manga by wataru yoshizumi
i was really disappointed in the anime though, theyve made up those stupid holy stones which was just utterly useless

I watched the anime when I was in high school. I only read the manga last month but I've decided that the anime is better. I liked Maia/Maya in the anime and was disappointed that she's not in the manga.
But I still think this manga's adorable. It lacked a certain oomph factor for me but it is a good read. Still better than some shoujo. A good way to pass the time.

It was pretty cute, if somewhat of an average read. The characters were good - some meh, some that I really enjoyed - and the art was nice as well. The 'magical girl' aspect was actually fairly limited - I think at one point it went about 8 chapters without the main character doing any magic at all - which could be seen as either a good or a bad thing. (I did like that there weren't long battles and transformation pages/a lot of subplots that were basically 'hey there's a problem! fix it with magic! magic goes horribly wrong! problem solves itself anyway happy music!')

It was actually kind of a disappointment after watching the anime, though, for me at least. For a manga that focused on people and relationships much more than plot (what plot? there was a plot? -_-), there were several characters introduced that were never really used, relationships that had problems that weren't dealt with properly (if at all) or created stupid problems unnecessarily, and other characters that seemed to fall in and out of love incredibly quickly, or only developed feelings because it would cause drama between other characters.



The ending was also kind of a let down, because there was this big decision that a lot of time was spent building up to...that actually wasn't that big after all. It felt like a lot of somewhat-angsty but character-building potential was lost there for the sake of lightheartedness. Also, there were no loose ends to tie; everything pretty much was forcibly wrapped up, whether it needed to be or not.

But, that said, it was an easy manga, short and pretty adorable and nothing you had to think too hard about. I read it in two sittings and walked away with a shrug and a smile; the anime was much better, in my opinion, likely because it focused on less characters and gave them more time to grow, but this wasn't bad to read afterwards.

For my part, I really liked this Manga. I started out by picking it up one day and from that time forward I was hooked. The plot wasn't what kept me going (They did a much better job of that in the Anime...) but rather the cuteness of the characters. From my point of view they were well drawn and very cute. The drama that cropped up every once and a while seemed kind of forced, but it was fun to see how all the characters would pull through.

All in all, this is great read if you want something light and funny to cheer you up.

i really liked the manga, and i kept rereading it....sadly i got it from the library....
its funny and the characters r super cute.....
i liked how nina kinda talked in third person.....xD

I enjoyed this manga quite a bit. However, I do think it kind of lost its focus after the second volume or so. Nina's crazy antics were charming and amusing... but then it was almost as if the mangaka ran out of ideas for spells-gone-awry and the manga sort of lost it's direction a bit. It was still a good read, however. And I actually really liked the anime of it. Possibly even more than the manga, which is a rare thing for me to say.

I don't know what to say of this manga. I felt it has a bit of a childish theme to the story which I do not like. Because of this, I decided to discontinue reading this manga. It's not of my taste. Sometimes in the future, I might revisit the manga once more.

I like the manga more than the anime.
Nice to read @_@

i really like this series alot! the manga,in my point of view, was better than the anime. the anime focuses more on the friendship between mayu and nina but the book focus on the friendship and love lives of both girls! lol

I was surprised at how good this manga was! I loved Nina and how despite the fact that she wasn't a good witch, she still tried her best to help those around her. Characters like her are such a breath of fresh air! I also liked all the little quirks the author added to the characters, like Hiroki and Nina being big fans of Doraemon XD This is a very bright and happy manga and I would recommend it to any shoujo or romance fan. The only downside I could find with this manga were the main characters Ayu and Kaji. It was dissapointing that those two had personalities as dull as a brick. I think their story "arc" was the weakest part of the story.
