Hi, I'm a Witch, and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion, Vol. 2
"With those memories, I can continue on alone."
Never in her wildest dreams did Rose imagine that she'd hold a proper conversation with her crush—yet here she is, enjoying the tea and apple-flavored snacks he brings just for her.
It's enough to almost make her forget that their peaceful days together will only last for so long. After all, once the potion is completed, that'll be the end of...whatever this is...

YOUTUBE VIDEO REVIEW: https://youtu.be/Mk-3fsSeeQM
Updated Review 10/5/26: Ahhh, the LONGING of these two is so intense!
Granted, we don't see it as strongly in Harij's story as in Rose's, but that bonus short story AND manga definitely showed that he DOES like Rose and yearns for her too…
And poor Rose, she went through so much emotionally this volume! From the amazing moment of Harij defending her and saying how every human should be treated with respect to her trying a "test" where her feelings seemed like they could pour out at any second, she really went through a lot! My heart hurt for her, though, in how much she really doesn't want unrequited love. I felt her pain and could imagine if I were in her shoes, I would feel the same exact way.
Definitely another very good volume and going to dive into volume three ASAP! Though I will add that I forgot how spicy one of the sentences was in the short story and had to read it twice because I'm like, did I really just read that?! 😳
Original Review 5/22/23: Don't mind me as I finished reading this and then politely hugged my volume while giggling and smiling so big…
This volume was perfectionnnnn!! It definitely captured the elements I wanted more of in volume one because goodness, the butterflies I felt when reading this volume!! SQUEALS!
It's hard to pinpoint which part was my favorite because I am soooo here for this slowburn romance where they both respect each other as well as sarcastically poke at each other too. From the opening chapter where we see their banter, to the moment Sir Harij did all he could to help encourage others to respect Rose, to even his "revenge" at the end. Every page had me captivated, especially when seeing Rose's internal monologue. (Well, except maybe the moments she is doing everything in her power to NOT cave into her feelings and show her love for him.)
I enjoyed the "twist" in this volume because even if it's not a twist exactly(?), it was definitely one I didn't see coming! I'm not sure I can say anything else because anything I saw would be spoilers, but I am SO happy volume three is already up for preorder because I WILL be reading it!

ngl this is by far my favorite manga that i'm reading right now. for context, i'm also reading my happy marriage and i want to be a recepcionist in this magical world (i'm keeping up with the latest volume and so that's what i mean!).
if you want something cute with two people who lowkey are obsessed with each other but don't want to say it, read this immediately.
rose is a witch, she's very lonely, lives alone in the woods and doesn't have anyone pretty much. her day-to-day is crafting potions and giving them to the person who helps her sell them. on the other hand we have sir harij, a knight of the kingdom, who has come to her for a love potion (not for him). she does think it's for him so she is D E S T R O Y E D when he comes and requests one. but what comes after is such a soft, caring relationship and i'm here for it!
it has that very specific trope of "heroine forgets to eat and sleep so hero is SO WORRIED AND DOES EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER so she can eat every single day and sleep more hours" and i just love to see it in this particular story because rose has been alone for a while and the townspeople are afraid of her so no one comes near... except sir harij and i love their lil duo because they give and they take and they have so much fun together <3
vol2 was a good volume BUT VOLUME 3?!?!! let me write my review of that.

I have never wanted a Yen Press book be a Steamship book so badly until I read this one.

The tension and yearning??? Absolutely insane. I really love these two, and I’m loving this manga so far!
July 7, 2024
I think what I love most about this series is we get to see his POV and how perfectly parallel their feelings are! Also it’s just so cute, and she gave him a nibble which absolutely killed me
February 14, 2026
Adorable

I like it so far but man there was a lot of misunderstandings in this volume 😅
October 14, 2024
Would have been a 3 star except for that short story at the end…but we’ll get to that later! 😅😜
The characters’ interactions with each other are still as cute as they were in volume one and I chuckled a couple times, but this is a very slow, chill manga that focuses solely on the romance. That’s totally fine, but I need a bit more then that or at least characters I better connect with and I just don’t for either Rose or Harij. Especially not Harij after that blasted short story…
Okay, okay, let’s get to main event you’ve all been waiting for—the bonus short story. In this we get Harij’s POV on the potion scene (I won’t say more then that because of spoilers) which was fine until he started making illusions to, er, former relationships with other women and, ahem, the “pleasures” of it that just unhinged my jaw because like EXCUSE ME?! WHY did you feel the need to point that out and word stuff like that no matter how vague?!?! Unfortunately this has tainted my view on him because is his growing attraction to Rose real or just lust and I hate that I have to question that now! Just, UGH!!!!
Yeah, so THAT happened which is a huge bummer though I’ll read at least the next two volumes just because I have them from the library so why not. Hopefully nothing else uncomfortable for me will pop up in the next volume…
‼️Content‼️
Language: darn it
Violence: children throw mud on a woman
Sexual: mild suggestive hints that point to possible previous love affairs (only in the bonus short story)
Drugs/Alcohol: a witch makes potions; a girl drinks a love potion and is temporarily effected by it
Other: a witch; magic

A delight. These characters have such a natural pace and chemistry to their interactions. I’m so excited to see the next volume expand on this adorable story.

This has all but officially become a story of dual unrequited loves… for the same people!
Harij has quite obviously developed feelings for Rose, feelings beyond friendship. Something I find particularly interesting, however, is just how differently he sees the world from Rose, including how they both perceive love. Love is universal, it does not discriminate, and yet Harij and Rose are so extremely different in how they both perceive the world and everything in it, as well as how they perceive their own feelings.
The journey between Rose and Harij and the tumultuous feelings that develop as a result of how their views and communication styles differ has been, and continues to be, very fun to read. There is something to connect to in both of them, but they don’t feel like they’ve been written to be related to, but rather enjoyed as individuals all their own. On that note, I do enjoy Tien as well, and I like that we got to see a little bit more of him this time around. All three of these characters have personalities all their own, and I hope to get to know them as “friends”.

This story is really cute! It's so far out of the realm that I would normally decide to pick up, but honestly, the title made me want to read it.

I love that plot twist, but it's a bit baffling for him to go through all of that to get ingredients for a potion that only works for half a day.

This volume was so good! We get some POV from Harij and get to know more about him. The potion trial scene was everything! The bonus POV story we get from Harij was truly what I love in romance books.

Die Geschichte weis es mich zu packen. Es super süß wie sich die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Rose und Harij entwickelt.
October 26, 2024
Etwas hat sich zwischen Rose und Harij verändert. Liegt es an den gemeinsamen Essen, den Gesprächen oder ist da doch nichts ? Schließlich wartet er ja nur darauf, dass der geforderte Liebestrank fertig wird, der dann für noch mehr Chaos sorgt. Aber auch die Menschen außerhalb, Tien und Billaura sorgen für Chaos bei der Hexe am See, mal abgesehen von ihren Gefühlen für den Ritter...
Vorwort:
"Hallo, ich bin eine Hexe und mein Schwarm wünscht sich einen Liebestrank von mir 02" von Vient ist der zweite Band der gleichnamigen Reihe. Es umfasst ca. 170 Seiten und ist als Taschenbuch, sowie e-book bei Altraverse erhältlich.
Meine Meinung:
Diese Reihe ist einfach toll und bringt richtig Spaß. Nach dem Ende von Band eins war ich sehr gespannt wie sich die Geschichte weiterentwickeln würde und wurde eindeutig nicht enttäuscht. Geheimnisse, Missverständnisse und ein auf und ab der Emotionen dominierten auch diesen Band, der mir richtig gut gefiel.
Für Rose lief es nicht wirklich gut und der Liebestrank machte ich andere Probleme als gedachte, die ich einfach feierte. Die Chemie zwischen ihnen war absolut top und gerade eine Szene liebte ich total. Die Geschichte war sehr ruhig, konnte mich aber gerade deswegen gut unterhalten, weil ich das Leben von Rose sehr interessant fand und ich es auch lieber mag, wenn es nicht so chaotisch abläuft, wobei sie ja schon für genügend Chaos sorgen kann. Es gab neue Informationen zu ihr Harij, sowie Billaura, die ich zunächst nicht wirklich, die mir aber dann schon Leid tat. Die Entwicklung der Charaktere fand ich interessant und gerade bei Rose begrüßte ich dies.
Den Zeichenstil mochte ich sehr gerne, weil gerade die Figuren und ihre Emotionen super gezeichnet wurden.
Fazit:
Eine tolle Fortsetzung, die einen ins Wechselbad der Gefühle schickte und absolut niedlich war. Die Geschichte ist eher ruhig, was ich aber sehr begrüßte und machte gerade wegen der Chemie von Rose und Harij viel Spaß. Man erfuhr einiges über sie, die Hexen und die Königin, was mich neugierig auf die weiteren Bände macht. Von mir gibt es:
5 von 5 Sterne

I finished the first volume right on time! The second volume was waiting for me when I got to work today.
After reading this, I need the third volume. Unfortunately, no library has it just yet.
I loved the scene where he stook up for her when from the kids that was throwing mud and stuff at her when she was going into town that day.
The potion is finished and Rose believes that she will no longer see Harji, now that he has no reason to visit her. She is wrong. She still visits her. She puts away the tablecloth and cups because of her assumption. Harji visits her when Tein coms to visit. Harij feels jealousy and wants to know who the guy is that is leaving her. She also has her hood down and the guy refers to her as Rose. Something Harji did not know. He called her Madam Witch.
Rose samples the potion and because she already has feelings for him, Harji just believes that she is acting this way because of the potion.
Reading the bonus story in his POV was amazing! I read someones review wishing that this manga has sexy scenes. Reading from Harji POV I did wish for that because of the lust he felt.
Rose admiting that she thought he loved someone else and him speaking that the potion was not for him, but someone else. He was not the one using the potion made me so happy. Finally! That gets cleared up. But him ordering another potion to ensure that he is able to spend more time with her while he waits for the potion to get finished. Maybe then they can clear the air about a few things.
I was so scared that Rose would use the potion on him and that was why he felt as if he was the one that drunk the potion, but no, his affect was because of him reacting to Rose. He wanted to do anything to make her happy, make her smile. He wanted to wipe her tears.
Ugh, I need the next volume. I havent seen anything online about a 4th manga volume but I hope there is more. I love slow burn romances but I just want them not to have this misunderstanding anymore.

If you thought this manga could not get any better... JUST WAIT.
Oh yes, they added the infamous "who did this to you?" trope.
And sprinkled in the miscommunication trope, but we're ignoring that.
The Art:
I've expressed before, but the art is top tier. It's gorgeous and fits so well with the shoujo vibe it is attempting to accomplish.
The Plot Line:
Melt me into a puddle! This is absolutely adorable, and a spectacular continuation of the first manga. It clarifies the purpose of the love potion's creation, showcases how both the characters are discovering how intense their feelings are (without showcasing it outwardly... Darn you miscommunication trope), and begins the stages of their flirting phase
Overall:
As many of my friends can attest, I love this manga series passionately. It's on par with The Fiancee of the Wizard, Emma, and Kobato. Cute, sweet, delicate romance. Romance that's truly about romancing and not just about lust. 10/10 will always recommend.

The manga was good. Placement of short story was annoying.
I’m really enjoying this series. The story and artwork are quite good.
But whoever decided to make the short story at the end read from right to left needs a talking to. There’s a warning that says to flip to the back of the book to read the short story, but that didn’t make sense to me because I was already AT the back of the book. Granted, I was pretty tired while trying to read it. However, I ended up convinced that the novel must not be worth reading if this was the sort of confused prose typically produced by the author. I flipped forward (to see how many more pages were in the story) and realized that I was supposed to go all the way to the very end of the book and read back towards the middle for the short story. *face palm* Being too tired to start over at that point, I had to put the book down and begin again after getting some sleep. Now, I admit I misunderstood the warning, but I still maintain that it was a bad editorial decision.

✨📖 Manga Review 📖✨
🌿💖 Hi, I'm a Witch, and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion
"With those memories, I can continue on alone."
Rose never imagined she’d get to talk properly with her crush, but here she is—sipping tea and enjoying apple-flavored snacks he brought just for her. 🍎☕
Their peaceful moments together are fleeting, though… once the love potion is complete, it could all be over. 😢
💭 Why I love it
1. Cozy slow-burn romance that warms your heart 💖
2. Harij is a gentleman in his own unique way 🏰
3. Watching feelings develop slowly and naturally is so satisfying ✨
4. The love potion plot adds just the right amount of magic mischief 🧪
5. Already seen the first visual art for the anime adaptation—it’s gorgeous! 😍
This manga feels like curling up in a soft blanket with a warm cup of tea—sweet, comforting, and full of tiny heart-fluttering moments.
📺 With the anime adaptation announced, I’m already planning a binge reread!
💬 Question:
Who else loves a slow-burn romance where the feelings bloom gradually? 🌸💞

read until: chapter 20 (volume 4)
this was absolutely adorable!!! every interaction between harij and rose had me grinning from ear to ear—especially in the later volumes when they finally confess their feelings. alongside the sweet romance, the story also touches on prejudice and discrimination against witches, which at times escalates into violence.
rose grew up with her grandmother, learning magic and witchcraft, but because witches have such a poor public reputation, she often kept to herself. four years ago, she overheard harij defending witches in public and instantly fell for him. but when he later came to her requesting a love potion for someone else, her heart quietly shattered.
i flew through this series. the plot stayed focused without getting bogged down by unnecessary drama, and the romance developed at a steady, satisfying pace. i’m beyond excited for what’s next—especially since harij is basically ready to call rose his wife already.

This volume was just as cute as the first. I'm glad that Rose now knows the truth about the love potion, but there's a miscommunication trope developing that I'm not a fan of. Despite the fact that Rose can't lie she's still doing a good job of not telling Harij how she feels.
I'm actually interested in the Princess's story and this marriage that she seems to be being forced into. I hope we see more of her story in the future volumes.
I can't believe Rose let Harij persuade her to test the love potion on herself! That scene was actually a little cringey. I'm not sure it was improved by the additional scene from Harij's point of view added at the end of this volume that shows he doesn't seem to have any initial attraction to Rose. I can't wait to see what he does with a second love potion though.
This was a fun read and I'm looking forward to the next volume.
I'm actually interested in the Princess's story and this marriage that she seems to be being forced into. I hope we see more of her story in the future volumes.
I can't believe Rose let Harij persuade her to test the love potion on herself! That scene was actually a little cringey. I'm not sure it was improved by the additional scene from Harij's point of view added at the end of this volume that shows he doesn't seem to have any initial attraction to Rose. I can't wait to see what he does with a second love potion though.
This was a fun read and I'm looking forward to the next volume.

第二集開始兩人的互動變得更加美味，而且出乎我意料的是漫畫單行本竟然有收錄原作小說家的加筆小說，以海利朱視角詮釋他目睹ロゼ服用迷情藥的模樣期間的心路歷程，漫畫裡雖然有透過畫面表現出來，但我當下其實沒有很懂海利朱為什麼要介意有沒有被ロゼ允許喊她名字？讀完加筆小說才明白海利朱逐漸萌生自己對ロゼ是特別存在的念頭，也深信兩人這段共度下午茶的期間已累積出些許情誼，但商人蹄炎的出現打破他一廂情願的認知，體悟到在他認識範圍外的ロゼ有他不了解的生活，也是他沒有資格開口去涉足的領域。這一點令他暗自沮喪，卻不知為何有如此挫敗感受。
親睹ロゼ服用迷情藥後，對他深愛得無以復加，又自知無法相戀而悲傷落淚，海利朱深深被ロゼ的模樣所打動，不由自主地想回應ロゼ的心意，渴望讓她開心一點，不再哭泣。然而這段意亂情迷的片刻時光卻由於ロゼ一句「叫她的名字」的請求戛然而止，海利朱清楚意識到此刻的ロゼ有多愛他而顯得情難自已，就加倍說明真正的ロゼ根本對他不感興趣，這名少女並不愛自己。這一點令他感到空虛、憤怒又心如刀割。
這段的描繪酸酸甜甜的，真的非常美味。雖然仍不是很明白為何自己會有這些情緒，相處時光累積出的在乎和關懷，終究令海利朱對ロゼ的感情終於慢慢浮上水面，如今只差本人領悟這份感情的名字了。服用迷情藥試用品的畫面非常甜，但事後海利朱視角短暫描寫他回去後無法克制ロゼ的身影浮現在腦海中的經歷，彷彿他才是服下迷情藥之人的反應也是另一種甜。看著剛毅木訥的騎士墜入愛河怎麼這麼開心呢？我像是旁觀年輕人愛情喜劇的長輩一樣，露出看好戲的竊笑翻閱著兩人的進展，但自己亦猶如被渲染了對某人怦然心動的意念，也很慶幸在ロゼ不知曉的情況下，她的戀情漸入佳境。
迷情藥交易已完成，按理說兩人的交集也應該結束了。但還沒弄清楚內心的焦躁從何而來的海利朱不想這麼輕易結束，於是再一次提出調製迷情藥的委託，想著調製藥品時間很長，這麼一來就可以延續兩人的相處時光。起初只是ロゼ單方面想要盡可能和海利朱相處，如今在她不明海利朱內心變化的情況下，兩人的立場和採取的舉動顛倒了過來，合理的委託、不能講明的小心機、渾沌未明的情感，這亦是海利朱不自知鍾情於ロゼ的象徵，因此讀來格外令人甜暖，很期待兩人感情持續深化後，能夠彼此告白自身心意的橋段。
這樣寫下來覺得ロゼ真的是很好的女孩子，雖然愛慕對方，卻不會動用迷情藥使海利朱迷戀上自己，我想這也是ロゼ對自身感情的堅持吧？不願採取迷情藥的手段，從海利朱內心湧現的憤怒反應便可窺知一二，不管迷情藥多麼有效，如果心上人不是真心喜歡上自己，對她或他就沒有任何意義，哪怕對方因為迷情藥而顯得深情厚意，內心也會這份情意的本質終究虛矯而湧現空虛感，無法體會到兩情相悅的幸福。
漫畫大致上令我很滿意，只是有個橋段我覺得表現得不是很適切，就是ロゼ的帽兜設定上似乎是能夠遮蓋住臉龐，不讓外人窺清長相的設計，但漫畫畫面裡其實看不太出來，而且第一話還有一幕是ロゼ抬頭看著海利朱，請他嘆氣前先告知她的情景。所以後來在海利朱的回想中，他說自己一開始不太懂魔女的身份因此擺出警戒態度實在不太能說服我，讀到那段我還忍不住吐槽說「最好是？！你在那個緊急狀況之前不是就清楚看過ロゼ的臉了嗎？怎麼會連她是年邁或年輕都不知道啊？」

Overall: 3.75 stars
Another very enjoyable, charming volume in this series. The art is gorgeous - especially the details on the clothes and the hair which really seems to flow realistically. It's cute, it's fluffy, it's a comfort read.
We get some nice scenes of the hero, Harij, defending Rose's honor from some dirty prejudiced peasants, and what's even better is Rose vowing to defend herself from now on. Rose is a bit of shrinking violet, so I really do hope she grows into her own in later volumes.
There's also plenty of yearning and pining, although I'm starting to hope we get some resolution soon and not just more scenes of everyone being emotionally constipated and bad at communicating.
We'll see what volume 3 brings!

Cuteness Level: 🧪💘✨ Still absolutely adorable!
Volume 2 was just as sweet and wholesome as the first, maybe even cuter, if that’s possible! I’m still obsessed with the dynamic between the witch and her crush. Their awkward flirting, shy glances, and magical misunderstandings are everything I love in a cosy romance manga.
The story is light, funny, and full of heart. It’s like a warm hug in manga form. The art continues to be beautiful and expressive, and I loved seeing their relationship slowly grow.
If you’re into soft, feel-good romance with a sprinkle of magic, this series continues to deliver all the right vibes. Bring on Volume 3!

Ein super Band! Habe unsere beiden Figuren nun richtig gern und ihre Dynamik ist süß. Wir erfahren, für wen der Liebestrank ist, und welche Zusammenhänge es gibt. Harij taut immer mehr auf und umsorgt Rose regelrecht, die damit ein wenig überfordert ist, was wirklich witzig ist. Liebe es, dass wir einen kleinen Perspektivwechsel bekommen haben, da man nun auch endlich Harijs POV sieht. Finde es auch klasse, wie sehr er sie beschützt bzw. für sie einsteht. Der kleine Test hat nämlich einiges ins Rollen gebracht hehe. Die beiden sind einfach adorable und freue mich schon auf Band 3!

THE TENSION IS SO GOOD AND THE TESTING OF THE LOVE POTION LEADING TO AN ALMOST-KISS AUGHHHHHHHHHH
the miscommunication here was almost enough for me to knock off a star...they both need to just TALK to each other gah damn. luckily, they also made a ton of progress in their own way. him standing up for her against those stupid little kids...my heart!!!
also we get to find out the motives of his love potion order...the poor princess....I truly hope she gets her own happy ending.

Why is Rose so useless?
I mean, she is a witch, can’t she have some life saving skills or something to counter balance how insanely naive she is?
Overall, this was fun to read. I LOVED the art. The visual story telling was really well done. As far as the narrative went, I was hoping Rose would turn out to be more than just a wide eyed naive FMC but… it was cute and I have the compulsion to keep reading.
