A 20+ male with a 10 year old child,no matter what setting you use that is pedophilia and criminal act-it has ruined this manga for me whereas without this 'doroma' I actually liked this manga.

I love the setting and the art in this manga ,you read the manga and you feel the magic all the time .
It's hard to believe sometimes it's happens in Japan ,feels like British book . Very beautiful and enjoyable.

Why is there a creepy pedophile in my slice of life manga? If for example, Yotsuba's next door neighbor turned out to be a sexual molester, it wouldn't be funny or interesting - it would be disgusting.

It's amazing, but I'm pretty disturbed by how Ran keeps on getting into these sexual situations. I get that in the manga, it's all cute-sy and slice of life, so nothing will get too bad, but if you take off those rose coloured glasses it's really, really creepy. There is so much wrong with a child in a grown woman's body. The guy is trying to get into a 5 (?) year old's pants.

The skill that goes into the art of this story is amazing. The artist somehow manages to convey concepts such as innocence and otherworldly beauty. My favorite example is when Ran wakes up in the playboys garden, and he's left speechless by her. We are shown why he is speechless through the art, with no words necessary to guide us to that. Her beauty and her guilelessness is all expressed through the drawing.

As to the plot, I have to agree with philip72. It's a very calm and well-paced story. It's still early, but there is a lot of potential, and the style suggests that it will capitalize on that.

Beautifully illustrated and really engaging. The real world setting highlights the ethereal beauty of the sorceresses, and the otherworldliness of their actions.

This slice of life is probably more suited to older readers rather than teens though. Not due to any objectionable content, but because of the calm, deliberate pace of the tale.
