Accidentally in Love: The Witch, the Knight, and the Love Potion Slipup Volume 1

Accidentally in Love: The Witch, the Knight, and the Love Potion Slipup (Light Novel) #1

by Harunadon, Arthur Miura (Translator)

Cecily grew up reading fairy tales and dreaming of the day she’d meet her own dashing Prince Charming. But alas, her dreams are dashed the day she discovers she’s really a witch! Everyone knows witches are wicked women who don’t deserve happy endings, after all. Cecily thus resigns herself to life alone—until she meets the gallant knight Zeke and falls for him at first sight. He’s just one love potion away from being hers, so when he accidentally drinks a concoction she brewed in secret, well... The slipup might lead to Cecily getting the happily ever after she always wanted!

This covers the same story as volumes 1 & 2 of the manga, just with a little more detail, as is fairly normal for light novels that have been adapted into manga form. With the storyline similarities, curious to see what the second volume covers as the initial story ties up nicely at this point already. We have several short stories at the end of this volume that add additional details and laughter as well. Cecily's mother is an interesting addition to the mix, as well as the expanded knowledge regarding the knights that seem the closest to Zeke. Princess Charlotte's reactions to "the loins" seems to be improving as well, except for perhaps one specific "loin" that she has a rather dramatic reaction too. You get used to her odd references as the story goes on, but it doesn't make some of her declarations any less hilarious with the language she chooses to use at times.
