Kiraware Majo Reijou to Dansou Ouji no Konyaku is a GL manga with elements of fantasy, drama, and comedy. The story follows Evy, a disgraced noblewoman born with dark magic, who is often referred to as a witch. Her fiancé breaks off their engagement to pursue someone else and asks Evy to become his servant. This is when Ciel, a prince from another country, intervenes, taking Evy as his fiancée and bringing her to his homeland. There, Evy discovers that Ciel is actually a woman.

The premise of this work is far from original, as it mirrors many similar stories, with the only difference being that ... both leads are women. It also follows the classic trope of the protagonist initially disliking the prince but gradually falling in love, which is common in this genre. If you’re looking for something fresh, this manga doesn’t offer much.

As for the protagonists, they are typical stereotypes of prince and princess characters with little depth. That said, Ciel's backstory with her brother who had to flee due to using dark magic as well adds some context to her initial interest in Evy. Ciel’s inferiority complex toward her brother is a noteworthy element, though it’s not well resolved. On the other hand, Evy is a flat character whose only significant development is her gradual affection for Ciel.

I decided to read this manga because I liked the character designs of the protagonists and wanted to enjoy some yuri content. However, beyond that, there isn’t much to praise about the series, and I wouldn’t recommend it.
