*This review is for 5 seconds before the Witch falls in love / falling in love with a Witch. I'm not that big of a fan of Demons Harem.*

To be honest, there's not much to review about this one. It's a one-shot + short prequel that can be read in 3 to 4 minutes, so if you are here, reading this, why not give it a go?

It's on the wholesome/cute/funny side. It's sort of... what if we made Tonikawa a fantasy one-shot, but we make it so queer a turtleneck would look good on it. It portrays a classic dense goofball unaware of/unwilling to ... accept her feelings, thinking she's under the spell of some charm from a witch. Well, she actually was charmed by the witch, but... Moving on, the only downside of this series besides the rather standard narrative is the fact that we don't get to see more of it. I need more of this fluff, especially after the hints of that last panel. Oh, worth mentioning, I also liked the interactions between our lead and the boy from the shop and getting a decent supporting cast that emphasizes your main cast's characteristics is worthy of praise in one-shots.

If you enjoyed it, you could also check out the Mage & Demon Queen webtoon. It's got the same vibe.

This was such a cute read, I’m really sad that it’s so short. There 2 stories packed into the single volume. One about a witch and a witch hunter and the other about a human kindhearted human that can see the supernatural.

Firstly I’d like to say that the art was amazing in my opinion, loved the style. The character designs are super cute (especially the witch and the demons) I also thought that the action scenes were well done. The story for both stories are pretty simple but really cute. On top of that the GL aspect was super wholesome. The characters themselves were well ... fleshed out for having so little page time.

If you want a short and sweet story to kill some time I highly recommend Majo ga Koisuru 5-byoumae!

Despite the story being a bit predictable throughout, this manga as a whole was incredibly awesome!! For people searching for a short and sweet manga that hits all the right notes and satiates your desire for a wholesome romance, here you go.
My only qualm is that it's too short! This is the exact type of story romance manga lovers like myself would binge through many volumes of in just a few hours. The artwork is hilarious at times as ... well as a treat to the eyes with the wide range of artistic variations used. Definitely worth reading, this does not disappoint!
