Gendai Majo is a really cute book, it follows a young unconfident yet energetic witch that's just trying to start her life in a small sea-side city.

The 3 main characters (plus a speaking dog) are pretty cliche, but done quite well. The plot revolves around how Neko (our witch protagonist) interacts with various people in her community, so you really get a good feel for different people's personalities! I'm someone who loves interesting character-building above a good plot, so this works well for me.

The story is told in a pseudo 'episode style' manner, where each story arc is quite short, being only a chapter ... or two long at most, yet they all connect to the main storyline.

Some comparisons to similar books/shows:

Gendai Majo is really similar to Kiki's Delivery Service, some moments even feel straight out of the film, but with a more shounen feel

Iroduku is really similar too, being about a young witch trying to sort our her feelings in a brand new enviornment with the help of some new-found friends.
---------------------------------------

TL:DR- Gendai Majo is a cute and wholesome slice of life manga with interesting character interactions and has a ton of potential depending on how the protagonist Neko grows as a character.
