Being a mi-monthly series and sitting at six currently out it may seem a bit early to give this a score of any sort. Despite the simple premise of a strong girl needing to protect the lead it is done in a way I find to be absolutely charming.

The interactions between the two main characters, Kagari and Takimya makes for plenty of funny but also sweet moments. One of the elements I like best is how the powerful female lead doesn't smack around the male lead, all too common in other series for my tastes. Even better, she doesn't try to him him away. At the same time the lead isn't just going to sit back and let her face all the evil that may come.

While antagonists come and go they are fun to watch. Some questions floating around as to why this is all happening so there is more than an endless stream of fights. As for one of the strongest points, I'd consider the art to be gorgeous. Many of the spreads drool worthy.

I love the role reversal in Witch Craft Works where the male lead is completely reliant on the female lead. It's refreshing to see a strong female lead stay that way consistently throughout the whole series(so far). A lot of series' have the female lead be really op at the start, but then all of a sudden they become useless for no reason and it doesn't really make sense. I'm glad that Witch Craft Works took a different approach to this since it really makes the story interesting.

The premise and plot aren't really anything new and exciting, but when you combine that with the role reversal, it turns the series into something that feels new, refreshing, and exciting to read. There are some nice heartwarming moments and the characters also have interesting personalities.

I will definitely continue to read this series and I hope that you also will give it a chance.

TLDR; Refreshing read with role reversal.
