firstly, thank you to the publisher for an arc!
a very fun and flirty first volume in a new series in which one of our fmcs sada stumbled upon a phone one day and discovers influencers; as a witch, she was forced to hide in the shadows and never interact with humans, but after seeing all of the attention influencers receive, she decides to leave her run down home in the mountains to become one too. (i was sad she abandoned her little rat friends💔)
our other fmc hanako initially follows and loves sada until she announces on a live stream that she’s a witch — hanako has been called a witch from a young age due to her supernatural strength, and from then on she decides to become one of sada’s haters… lol
this volume ends on a cliffhanger, and i’m def going to continue this series!

Lovely story. I quite liked the plotline and was pleasantly surprised by the commentary we got on social media and its potential harm as well. I liked the art-style but it was nothing in found particularly impressive. I would have liked a bit more world-building on the witches and the magic system. The characters were quite well written and interesting.
Overall a pretty solid read, i am curious to see where this goes from here.

It's particularly entertaining GL with witchy gal who's a social influencer x gal who's been unlucky with her own life doesn't like witchy gal. Now there's a lot of characters in this which can be confusing tbh, I wish they gave each character a profile to tell us who they are.
Got this with thanks from Netgalley and Kodansa comics 👍

THIS SERIES IS SO REFRESHING!! It's a GL manga about a witch who wants to be famous on the internet and a human who hates her. I love that it's got
-a pretty art style (NO MOE ART STYLE!! finally adult women who look like adult women!!), fashionable MCs
-adult MCs who have interests outside of the romance
-a silly fantasy plot
-no homophobia, no misogyny, just fun escapism
which feels like such a low bar but it's genuinely so hard to find titles like these. Aside from that, it is genuinely so much fun. Sadako is a witch who has spent her entire life in hiding, but once she accidentally discovers the internet (ie. Instagram), she decides that she wants to live among humans, wear pretty clothes, post photos of herself, and become famous! Meanwhile, Hanako also loves wearing feminine, pretty outfits, but she's spent her entire life being bullied and being called a "witch" so she haaates this new influencer who throws that word around so lightly. Even though Hanako hates her, Sadako is intrigued because she is basically an attention hoe... While feuding, the two get involved with the greater organization of witches around the world who are /not/ happy with Sadako revealing the existence of witches to humans... And that's where volume 1 ends.
The official English edition is coming out in 2026! Really looking forward to it.

[Thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha for an ARC of this manga in exchange for an unbiased review.]
Well, this gets really wacky really quickly and, while that can easily make for an exhausting ride, it somehow manages to work here. No, it’s certainly not without a couple issues, but overall it’s just effervescent fun.
Sadako (don’t worry, you’ll have your Ringu reference before volume’s end) is a witch in hiding, secreted away from humans by an ancestor who warns her to stay hidden lest she be prosecuted.
At the beginning, this feels like it’s about to be one of those ‘culture shock’ stories as isolated girl learns to live in modern society. Except that when she gets hold of a phone and learns about the world, Sadako takes to it like a fish to water.
Suddenly, Sadako is posting pics via a purloined phone from an unwary ghost hunter and livestreaming herself. She picks up fashion and the realities of being online very, very quickly. It’s honestly far more clever than her being clueless about things - she’s certainly a bit straightforward, but she’s no fool and she’s having the time of her life.
One of her biggest boosters is Hana, who is trapped in an awful “friendship” with somebody who is using her desperation to keep her one friend against her. Hana is inhumanly strong and there’s more to her than meets the eye.
Of course, Hana’s trauma is rooted in being mocked for her strength and called a witch for years while others avoided her. So when Sadako outs herself on a livestream, Hana goes ballistic and becomes the type of toxic poster that often infests comment sections with negativity.
While I think the story explains Hana’s reasons well enough and her behaviour/posting is very believable, it does make her a little much once she goes to the dark side with her opinions. It’s possibly it’s all just too accurate, but I think it could have been curbed a bit since she just rages constantly after that.
The line between tsundere and being a total ass is very fine here. Also, she’s not being tsundere. It’s obvious how much this hurt her, but it needed more focus on the sad part. This really gets better once Sadako meets up with her, as Sadako’s unbothered attitude is basically required to make Hana tolerable.
Then they both run afoul of some other witches and the story looks to be veering off in a whole other direction and not in a bad way. This bounces around really quickly, but it becomes more engaging than frustrating with all the changes.
Honestly, this is very enjoyable, some Hana moments aside, and there’s a lot of promise here. Where have the two of them ended up? When will Hana learn to stand up for herself? Is this going to get really gay?
I’d recommend this anyway just because Sadako is so much fun - seeing her become a fame monster who enjoys having friends after decades without is a blast. With the lingering questions to be answered? It’s an easy call.
4 stars - solid start, although I’d really like Hana to get a little bit less constantly angry for a bit. She can be exhausting, but the rest of the book’s very much worth spending time on.

3.5 rounded up to 4
Wicked Spot is about a witch that was raised to hide herself and now lived alone in the woods. One day she stumbles upon a phone and discovers the world of influencers. She quickly rises in fame and then announces to the world she is a witch. One of her followers was made fun of as a kid for being supernaturally strong and was often called a witch. So after the announcement, she starts trolling the witch. This turns into a cat and mouse game. Then the two find themselves in a sticky situation.
This was a fun, quick, and quirky read. It leaves on a big cliff hanger so I am excited to see what the next will bring. I am hoping the story slows a bit in the next volume. This volume was rapid fire and not sure if that will be continued or if they just wanted to get the plot laid out. I am hoping the two become friends because they both really need one.

While this wasn’t perfect, it was so silly and chaotic that it was a lot of fun to read. When hermit witch Sadako (yes, you read that right) stumbles upon a phone, the world (aka social media) opens for her. Humans are colourful and quirky and not at all scary like she was made to believe. Her new plan: become a social media influencer. Wouldn’t hurt if she sowed some chaos on the way, right? The plot is straightforward, and you can probably guess where the story will go. I’d say the second half needed a bit more work as the silliness seems to take over too much. Where the manga does shine is regarding the artwork and the character design. Loved Hanako and their chemistry works so well. I need more strong women in manga.
Maybe a bit niche, but I found the reference to the ring hilarious when Sadako crawls out of her phone. 🤭

I loved this!
Shut in Witch turned social media star and a brutally strong hater who has been called a Witch her whole life but heads in this fantasy GL.
This was so fun and exciting. The art is stunning and the characters are bonkers and i love them already.
Looks like this will be a slow release as there is only 1 vol out so far in Japanese but i am excited to continue this series when the next volume releases!

One of the most fun yuri/josei I’ve read. It’s truly a joy to discover this world and characters and see it come to life. I’m a big fan of the author already and I love her art style as well. The cast of characters is so diverse !

Je ne m'attendais absolument pas à aimer autant ce manga ! Certes je suis fan de sorcières, mais une qui adore les vêtements et veut être vue, je n'avais jamais lu ça ! En plus, j'ai beaucoup aimé l'humour.
Le fait qu'il y ait eu un bref moment info historique sur les sorcières était vraiment cool.
J'avais un peu peur car je ne suis pas habituée du yuri, mais ça à l'air d'y aller en prenant son temps alors ça me va parfaitement !
Une mention spéciale au fait que le sujet des haters sur les réseaux soit un peu abordé, même si j'aurais aimé un peu plus de dénonciation.
J'ai hâte d'avoir le prochain tome autant pour retrouver l'amour des vêtements et l'humour des situations que pour ce cliff hanger qui est posé à la fin et qui me fait me poser tout un tas de questions.

I received this book from the publisher on Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
In this one we have a dual POV thingie going on. We have a girl named Sadako who spend many many years hiding in a dilapidated home in the middle of nowhere. She is a witch and has learned NOT to show her. But she gets lonely and the only humans who pop in the house (on dares) drop either dead or just fall asleep (though I guess they are also dead). The only companions she has are two adorable mice. One day she finds a phone on one of the guys who dropped by and she gets enchanted by what she sees on there. Floors that have water? Things on girls faces? Shiny clothes? Sparkly things? Yes, yes, and yes. Sadako is all in for that and so starts her life as an influencer. I just loved Sadako from the start, I loved her innocence and seeing her discover the world of humans. I loved seeing her get better and better at doing her hair/make-up and clothes (really, at the start she looked terrifying, haha). Things really heat up when she announces she is a witch (because Sadako doesn’t care about what her old teacher who up and left her said). I really loved seeing Sadako navigate the haters and the trolls, go into witch mode, and find a girl she is interested in and who is a hater on her stuff. She is curious. She is wants this girl. And I love it.
Then we come to Hanako. Who, I guess isn’t so bad, I really disliked. I get that she has been bullied and things have been shitty for her since her childhood, but I just hated how instead of taking control she just spiralled and even the slightest hint of witch she flips. Even if it isn’t even aimed at her. Again, I know she has been through a lot, but that doesn’t mean you should become a bully yourself. So yeah. I wasn’t such a fan of her POV parts and just wanted to go back to Sadako ASAP. I hope that, given this will have multiple volumes, Hanako gets better and I will start to like her. There is potential but she really needs to flip her attitude to positive.
Despite not a fan of the other witches we meet (who aren’t too happy with Sadako threatening the balance in the world), I do love that one of them is Black. You don’t see that very often in anime or manga, so I love it. And she looks so cool! I do hope that the Sabbath turns out to be the good guys in the end because I really want to love this character and see more of her.
I am definitely curious about what is next for Sadako and Hanako and what that favour is. I am also curious if Sadako will ever have a real home (for now she just magics her clothes and lives at a construction).
The art is really fun and I definitely love the style of it. The expressions! The character designs! The sparkly way but also the terrifying way things are drawn. Perfection~
All in all, I would recommend this one. Despite some issues I really had fun with this one.

Sada the witch has been living in a decrepit old cabin deep in the woods for over a century. Keeping away from humans and slowly losing her mind, until a random hicker allows her to experience social media and discover the big, amazing world at her fingertips. What's a bored witch to do? She goes to the human world and becomes an influencer, but it gets her the wrong kind of attention.
I'm not sure what I was expecting out of this book, but the description does not do it justice. It's kind of insane in the best possible way. It's silly fluff that lulls you into thinking you're in for some quick laughs, then it hits you with super deep emotions and thoughts. And the ending also left me with a feeling that big things are coming. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
The art is good. Nothing out of this world, but you can clearly identify all the characters and the outfits on Sadako and Hanako are all super cute.
Very happy thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics | Vertical Comics for the super fun read!

I really enjoyed Wicked Spot! It’s bit of a toxic enemies to lovers yuri manga series. I had enjoyed both Sada and Hanako’s characters a lot, I liked that we got to see a decent bit of backstory for both of them. I thought it helped understand why the characters acted and reacted to certain things. It’s definitely (at least at the start) a decently toxic start to their friendship but it feels written so well, I liked the banter between them and I liked how things were progressing with them. Plot wise I’m very curious how things are going to proceed, the first volume has a bit of a cliffhanger ending and I don’t really know where it’s going to be going next but I’m really excited! I really liked the art style of Wicked Spot too, the character designs and outfits are the cutest plus the more scarier witchy and magic panels look so good! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my complimentary review copy.

I love the witchy-romcom vibes already.
Sadako is so clueless, but SUCH a girl lmfao. We love her, and her love for anything pretty 😭🤍 She’s also just such a troll in a playful way lmfao, I love it.
So curious about her origin as well, and as to why she was so secluded in the first place.
Hanako is a hothead lol!!
A loner, who’s only “friend” is such a 🤬
I feel for her. Everyone in her life is UGH, throw them all away please. Except Sadako obvi lol.
Soooo curious about her ability to sense things, and why she’s so strong LOL.
And the Sabbath?
I’m so intrigued, a very enjoyable debut. I can’t wait to see what trial they have planned, and to meet all the council members ‘cause the two are already fun.

This is very cool? I really LOVE the idea of an actual witch influencer who just wants to take and share pretty pictures of herself online. It’s a simple but very cute idea.
Also, naming her Sadako??? Truly an inspired choice. I hope we get more supernatural, horror references like that.
But, anyway.
I’m very keen on this series so far. I really appreciate stories that celebrate their female characters.
Sadako knows she’s pretty and that she wants attention and no one can make her feel ashamed about that. More, I appreciate how this series isn’t pitting its female characters against each other. In fact, we’re getting some high-key queer vibes.
So, I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes on this one~

[ARC Review]
Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for this hell of a ride.
While in the Western world witches have been killed, in Japan, all they have to do is hide. However, this rule seems to get lost in track as Sada decided she wants to be free and becomes an influencer. Amongst the euphoria of finally being seen after a century of hiding, she meets her first hater, Hanako, a girl who is tired of constantly being called a witch.
This story is such a wonderful, clever take on modern witches and their different cultural perceptions and representations. I loved the duality of the gorgeous, enchanting witch, who everyone seems to love, and the (equally gorgeous) girl who was bullied her entirely life and cannot put up with being called a witch anymore.
The art is tremendously gorgeous and the plot goes at such a fast pace that I found myself completely lost when I realized I’d gotten to the last page of the manga. I just know that the upcoming volumes will be filled with beautiful art and paced action (because even the moments in which there is any sort of fight are so well made), along with a handful of references that those into Japanese culture will surely not miss.
I will definitely be recommending this manga to anyone who’s getting started on the genre and has an interest in witches!
Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for this hell of a ride.
While in the Western world witches have been killed, in Japan, all they have to do is hide. However, this rule seems to get lost in track as Sada decided she wants to be free and becomes an influencer. Amongst the euphoria of finally being seen after a century of hiding, she meets her first hater, Hanako, a girl who is tired of constantly being called a witch.
This story is such a wonderful, clever take on modern witches and their different cultural perceptions and representations. I loved the duality of the gorgeous, enchanting witch, who everyone seems to love, and the (equally gorgeous) girl who was bullied her entirely life and cannot put up with being called a witch anymore.

golden retriever x black cat combo except it's either two girls?? yeah, sign me UP.
This was super cute and charming!! Fun and light read that was super fast paced, something to read after a dose heavy. The artwork was super gorgeous.
Thank you to Kodansha comics and netgalley for the arc!

Le yuri était tellement goofy je suis choquer.
Une urban fantasy où l'on suit une sorcière solitaire qui commence a développer une image sur les réseaux sociaux (chose qu'elle n'a pas le droit de faire). Elle va finir par rencontrer sa première hater. Il y a pas mal de sous texte sur l'image de soi et l'amour propre. Les deux perso sont totalement folle et jsp ça change pour du yuri.
Jsp du tout vers où on va mais c'était tellement goofy je veux voir la suite

This was even better than I expected! I kept hearing how good this manga was and that if you are into slow-burn GL, you should totally read this, and I am so pumped for the next one 🔮💄

This is… really fucking good!
I want to read more of this series asap.
What it’s about? A witch that decides to start posting herself on social media and her once fan who starts hating her the second she reveals she’s a witch.
Listen y'all. I want Yuri in the next volumes and I want it fast. Also - this was cool.

I absolutely loved this! This was such a delightful read with really good artwork.
Charming GL about a reluctantly reclusive witch named Sada who yearns to be admired by humans and finally goes out into their world. Instantly becoming a famous influencer, she catches the eye of Hanako, a witch hating supporter turned troll.
I can’t wait to read more of their story!
Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the english ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
5 🌟
A witch in hiding is introduced to social media for the first time, what could possibly go wrong?
The Wicked Spot was fast-paced, action-packed, and wildly entertaining from start to finish.
There was a very fun ensemble of strong female characters which I loved! Every character had their distinctive quirky personality! Although they were strong, they were simultaneously goofy and hilarious enough to keep the vibes/energy light.
Illustrations
The artwork is beautiful! The illustrations are detailed and dynamic. I loved the facial expressions and the goofiness of them!
The book does end on a cliffhanger, so I am very excited to see what comes next.
Recommendation:
If you want a witchy manga with a charismatic female cast with humour you'll like this.
Thank you to Sal Jiang, Kodansha Comics, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Honestly, so much fun <3
I loved this crazy witch and I can't wait to see what happens next. I love Sadako and I love Hanako. These characters are so well crafted and have such a unique feeling to them. I genuinely cannot wait for the next volumes!!

2.5 rounded up bc I always appreciate the art of this author but I am reserving judgment on the story, knowing the style of their previous stories. This one's mostly cute so far though.
