Majo no Tabitabi: The Journey of Elaina

as someone wise once said, this isnt adventure and fantasy this is depression and suffering. but in all seriousness this manga is so good. beautiful. but also gut wrenching. and full of lesbians???

A young witch that we're told is a prodigy goes from town to town watching people die and suffer, unable to help anyone with the great magic we're told she has.

Frustratingly useless mc.

This is a truly wonderful story, there is one main character but it is told like a series of short stories.  She travels around encountering different towns and sometimes leaves a big impression, sometimes simply observes and plays a small role. 
Most of the stories are trajic and can be heart breaking, just be aware the cheerful parts are in the minority, they are there for sure.  The mind is a twisted place and the stories reflect that in the stories, where a broken mind creates a half shattered manifestation of what is broken about them, and the lead of the story is there to witness it, and once in a while help but usually she can just watch things play out as the wanderer she is.
Read if you want a bit of a cry late at night.

This story is basically about a witch's adventure, and the tales she goes through are all pretty heart breaking. I suggest reading it if you want short stories after short stories, however if you are investing in a long term one don't read it. The story is pretty good overall, and I would definitely recommend trying it out.

Do not be fooled by the cover, this is not a very light hearted story, there are many serious topics such as death, slavery,counterfeit money and suicide, there's also more that that as well. I stopped reading bc I'm not very good with this type of serious genre but read it if you want, this is my warning for you :)

favourite.
