What started as a silly joke manga is getting awfully serious. Still a bit silly but there’s a lot going on that I feel I need to re-read from the start sometime.
I really hate that you have to be "logical" at all times to be proficient at magic trope. Some series have the opposite and that it's emotions that makes your magic stronger.
