Qifrey and Olruggio's backstory absolutely ruined my life and I am never recovering from it. I knew it would probably be tragic but that did not prepare me for how emotive and heart wrenching it was.
I love everything about this manga and it just keeps getting better and better!
finally. Finally getting qifrey's backstory and it hurt just as much as i thought it was going to. he is such a sweet kid who has gone through so much and didnt want to hurt anyone or himself again. but then we got the goat olruggio. and he is literally a ball of sunshine. keeps on chasing qifrey to be his friend, help carry his sins, and doing everything he can to make qifrey just a little bit happier. this volume is EVERYTHING TO ME and this series is so beautiful
g encore relu l’intégralité de la saga et c tellement un banger guys l’école des sorciers but make it woke c bien écrit c extrêmement beau avec plein de détails super c’est touchant ça parle de sujet deep de manière équilibré (les vss le validisme les inégalités l’adultisme etc), tous les petits sorts et inventions trop cools ……. QUE DEMANDE LE PEUPLE ?? (que la suite sorte)
Мене це засмучує, і я це люблю! Я ж починала читати милу історію про дівчинку, яка захотіла подружитися з магією. Хто ж знав, що ми дійдемо до ТАКОГО???? Як дожити до продовження?
Здається, в мене в гостях побували дементори, бо інакше чому я почуваюсь спустошено?
This series never fails to make me feel bittersweet feelings with every volume. I'm honestly constantly surprised by how beautifully Shirahama presents her characters and makes you fall in love with them.
Holy shit, the signs were there all along but Qifrey and Ollys backstory is so much worse than expected. I cant even go reconnect with nature after reading this because trees make me sad.
“It never ceases to amaze me how strong children can be.”
I think the quote perfectly encapsulates the whole story of the manga. The story explores the world of magic seen through a child’s eyes; what starts at first as innocent wonder, slowly transforms into disappointment toward the flawed magic system and its questionable rules. You watch as the harsh reality has the ability to destroy a child’s positive view of the world and how they start questioning the ethical aspects of the rules of magic. However, it’s refreshing to see how the resilience and hard work that only a child is capable of can make a change.
This volume was by far my favourite. We finally get to see Qifrey and Olruggio’s backstory and what exactly is the reason behind Qifrey’s actions… and it’s so much more tragic than i anticipated. There’s such a lingering sadness throughout the whole volume, especially knowing that the cycle of pain that Qifrey must go through is pretty much endless.
“If I knew that I was never meant to be saved, I would have stayed far away from you… the sky’s kindest, most radiant star.”😭😭😭
“If I knew what I was. If I knew that I was never meant to be saved. I would’ve stayed far away from you, the sky’s kindest, most radiant star.”
The irresistible urge to throw this goddamn phone at the wall is strong. If someone could please just shoot me and the tell the author it’s their fault! Matter of fact, if I could just get my hands on some of that ink, I could just use the tears pouring down my face and erase this godforsaken memory from my head :D
This. This was the most devastating volume so far. Followed up by volume 15 too, which I stupidly thought was most devastating T_T My perception of everything before has changed. When I reread this, every detail will have me wailing out of despair. Oh how naive young Izabella was when they first read chapter 40, not a clue in the world about what was really happening. Olruggio. The sweetest, kindest, most caring, most selfless man to ever exist. Qifrey wasn’t erasing his memory just to keep his secret hidden, he erased his memory because Olruggio gave him permission to 🥴🔫 And he has had to do it, over and over again. Fuck. The pain and suffering these two have caused me is immense. This doomed yaoi couldn’t be more doomed wtf.
But aside from the pain and suffering, it was cute to see little Olly and Qifrey! And I loved seeing the parallels between Coco and Olly. I know people always say that Coco is truly Qifrey’s daughter, but holy hell, she’s got much more of Olly in her than we thought. That easygoing-ness of Olly’s youth and that wonder in magic really reminded me of early volumes Coco. But of course, their strong desire to use magic to help others is what really sells it. Coco is truly like her fathers!! <3

Si un amigo puede compartir los momentos bellos contigo, ¿por qué no podría también ser cómplice de los momentos malos? Siento que la relación entre Quifrey y Orugio es tan genuinamente hermosa que me emocionó muchísimo. Llegó un punto de la lectura en que no podía dejar de llorar: por la emoción, por la tristeza, por la melancolía y por lo cercana que se sentía esa relación entre dos amigos que, de una u otra manera, no tenían más opción que seguir adelante, incluso si uno de ellos debía mentirle al otro una y otra vez. Cada vez que Orugio hacía sentir a Quifrey en calma, seguro y protegido, ese árbol volvía a brotar en su cuerpo. ¿Cómo no sentirse triste ante una travesía tan trágica entre dos brujos que se quieren profundamente y buscan desesperadamente la forma de quitar ese parásito que poco a poco se está apoderando de Quifrey?
La conversación entre ellos cuando eran pequeños, vista luego en retrospectiva, hace que su vínculo sea todavía más fuerte y bello. Orugio ha estado siempre al lado de su amigo, nunca lo ha abandonado e incluso se ha convertido en el protector de su taller. Por otra parte, Quifrey ha tenido que lidiar una y otra vez con el dolor de borrarle la memoria, como ya habíamos visto anteriormente. Y como si se tratara de un paralelismo, al final del volumen aparece el proceso de Coco con su madre, como si Quifrey recordara y entendiera esas lecciones que, de tanto repetirlas, quizá ha terminado normalizando y desensibilizando. No tengo más que palabras de elogio. Me encantó demasiado todo lo que ocurre en esta parte de la historia.
Baby Qifrey and baby Olruggio are so small and yet they already had to deal with so much, all because of what Qifrey was forced to be that he didn't choose of.
llevo 16 tomos y sé a ciencia cierta que este manga marcará un antes y un después en mi vida y que jamás volveré a ser feliz porque me voy a hundir en un pozo de miseria y desesperación como qifrey acabe como me lo estoy oliendo
Come osate Come osate dropparmi una bomba del genere e poi andare avanti con la narrazione come se niente fosse
No raga sono un devasto ho letteralmente lanciato il cellulare mentre urlavo, mi è presa una risata disperata e poi sono scoppiata a piangere
Io volevo solo un manga carino con le streghette WHAT IS THIS HOW DARE YOU
È PER QUESTO CHE QUEI DUE HANNO LE PUNTE DEI LORO CAPPELLI SCAMBIATE??!!?!?!!!????😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭sbskurqosjdjsoejejwkekmaledizioneeeeeee (Doomed husbands fr)
Something about this volume was just so comforting but at the same time haunting. Finding out that was Qifrey did however many volumes ago was actually Olruggio’s idea shocked me lol. Did not expect that, but it makes sense after we read a little bit more of their history together. Also poor Coco, she’s going through it right now. And the way this volume ended, I’m a little nervous for what’s to come.
this is so messed up nooo poor Qifrey 😭😭😭 i love Olruggio even more now 😔❤️🩹
i am glad there are no new chapters to read, i have cried enough for the week :/
really love the pace this is progressing at.. super happy with Coco’s character development. all these different systems need to break and change ✋🏽 i just hope this Silverwood Curse can actually be reversed.. :’
Even more charachter development and backstory info for Quilfey. But umm…. I now need more. I have read to the end of in development. This should not have been as addicting of a series as it is. But it is. Cant wait for future installments of this manga.
The first time I cried while reading this series 🙏
Finally we get to learn ab Qifrey’s backstory. My, my is it heartbreaking. But now I feel like I can properly understand his character and his motivations.
So good. Very sad. But oh my so good!!
Also the Agott switch up is crazy, like you’re not fooling anyone.
