Once Upon a Witch's Death

Post by Ojisama » 28 Jun 2024, 18:45

LN series is to get an anime adaptation in 2025.

On her seventeenth birthday, the apprentice witch Meg learns that she only has one year left to live. Her teacher, the long-lived witch Faust, explains that the only way to undo the death curse is to collect tears of joy and grow the seed of life. To find them, Meg will have to leave the sheltered life she's always known and head out into the world. There will be meetings, partings, and friendships aplenty, and of course many tears. Meg will learn that the most important lessons for a witch are bright, sweet, and somewhat heart-wrenching.

Well, that's a shocking thing to find out - there's a death curse on you and you have to do a quest in order to survive.

There was this odd series where this girl learns there's always a certain number of witches in this world, and when a witch dies, a baby is born as a replacement. Her parents actually get contacted by Salem to have her be the witch in residence. She worked out how to give herself eyeshadow without makeup - her teacher dragged her into the bathroom in a vain attempt to painfully wash it off. When the teacher realized it wasn't make up, she apologized and asked her not to say anything.
