@Buraindo My thoughts as well. The baddies seen thus far are relatively weak and rely on their null magic. Pretty sure there'll be trouble when the sweepers come for Medusa, too. Does Chronoir still count as a Tower or is she another Workshop temp?

I am not sure too, i started to pick where anime adapted.
I am sure it has something to do with Medusa arc in past.

Eversince i picked this manga i always found the events intriguing,
Its weird, random, but all of it somehow connected by multiple events and foreshadowing.

Kinda glad i picked it just now, I think that chapter 80 is latest as it follows January 2019.
So this arc probably is a big one like Weekend.

You think so? though it will probably turn out something like "Oh you are not a bad girl even though you were threatening to kill everyone so you're forgiven!" Not that i'm complaining though all these girls are kinda hard to hate..

Well something like Chronoire, Medusa(and her underlings), Weekend(sensei) is rather amusing to watch. Literally all of them have same purpose and that is to steal/get Evermillion/White Princess Power.

Chronoire actually have long (friendly?) relationship with Kazane, i had no idea what shes aiming but shes the first one that open Takamiya seals.
Medusa (and shenanigans), literally the same as others antagonist, literally all of them aims White Princess Power but otherwise she is released by weekend? or was it chronoire? i forgot as a Chess Pawn. Despite that shes one of the "Legendary" witches. She easly defeat Kagari by just turning her into stone until Takamiya unlocked another seal and summoned white princess along it. Shes the one who caused Kazane became homeless for sometimes and fell into debt (the fault not entirely on her since White princess destroyed her him just to deal with Medusaa)
Weekend probably the first main antagonist that works behind the scene, as she planned it all way back years ago and she also show no mercy and hostility towards normal civilians (like bombing the tree root where those "Stars" gathered).

Yet despite all these rucukus these people cause they're still staying in city (along with their underlings and sidecharactes which also cause this random chaining events).
Chronoire literally living in city while observating Workshop which and making deals with Kazane.
Medusa that also gone for a while then return back living "Right in front of fucking Takamiya house " not sure why shes here assuming shes also waiting Kazane and Takamiya to make a move she also shows no hostility towards them.
Then theres Weekend who became a teacher assigned by Kazane herself after the torture.

I think this was foreshadowing something in future, as some previous chapter shown Alcina drawing the hierarchy of the City Witches based on Chronoire,Medusa and Kazane Circles. We're close to meet Kayou which is Kagari own blood related mother and it might occurs right after this Alcina arc.

Alcina arc might be staying in city like others,as she shown trust on Takamiya, following misunderstanding , past relationship with Evermillion/White Princess. It also hinted that White Princess used to be a normal witches(?) until she discover somekind of spell or wanting to became more powerful in exchange of her freedom.

I dont know how many plot relevant side characters author can give. Natsumi technically shown as an underlings back then,until recent chapter she always shows up 24/7, then Tanpopo literally became main character in the series(i lost count how many times she appears), Kasumi herself got an arc, and almost every character that introduced still appears in chapters is what makes me amused about this series.

Yep even the first witch's of the show appear often, the author certainly like his character's. it makes me wonder why everyone thinks that by taking Evermillion she would make them any stronger, hasn't Evermillion killed all her previous host's only sparing Takamiya because he has no wish for her power and only calling her when it's needed.. also because he's kind as fu*k. can they actually steal Evermillion's power or maybe torture the spell out of her? or are they just stupid.

It's also funny that literally every enemy lives in either next to Takamiya (In his house) or goes to his school, why are so many tower witches even aloud to live in workshop witches territory that makes no sense.. that's like taking the quote "Keep your friend's close, but your enemy's closer" to whole new level, also why is Kagari getting more and more yandere every chapter did she have a basement full of Takamiya dolls in her previous mansion, did she make it the moment she entered his home like seriously wtf. or maybe she's always been like this.. she just let loose a little, also poor Kazane I still feel bad for her 47(?) story mansion.

Why does no one teach Takamiya any spells to protect himself anyway?, like what's wrong with everyone. there nothing wrong if they even taught him single combat spell.

All of them had power to steal Evermillion from this dimwit but yet they didnt tried, maybe its also because Kagari Protecting him along with Kazane (as she promised to Komachi).
We perhaps will see the actual story about Evermillion once all 5 Seal broken apart.

"Keep your friend's close, but your enemy's closer" LUL best words cant even describe how this was, in most of story enemy normally turn good after getting defeated but in this story they stay bad but they living really closely with their enemy by doing almost nothing other than slice of life shenanigans.

Well i cant complain much the author is "Female" so i just realised it that we wont get cliche here for sure almost the opposite of it or bizzare way of handling it.

I rewatched Witchcraft recently after reading the manga, Kagari have been always Yandere towards every woman that speak/talk/hold/spending time/etc with him right from first few side character introduction in early episode.
But yes shes just creepy as fk, just like Takamiya Sister. Even Alcina herself mentioned "What a magnificient perversion" is pretty much that creepy basements.

Ah about no one taught Takamiya self defense is rather slow development. On the beginning he only taugth basic of witch, later summoning a familiar (fails) then recently he finally can summon one (a fucking PENGUIN). Its just due overwhelming amount of backstory pours and working plot he himself doesnt have time for it. (in recent chapter he also asked by Kagari to show Familiar Capabilities like "Flame Breath" from a cute penguin LUL.

Normally every witch have their own speciality or trait eg Kagari from Kagari house is Fire, Touko is Ice, Natsumi dismantling/dispelling, Mikage sensei memories, Weekend is Bomb, Kazane is dimensional also an Oni?, Chronoire is also dimensional also a Lizard?, Alcina transforming stuff, Tanpopo and Kasumi are controlling familiars, etc some other witch has their own speciality.
Takamiya have been mentioned to seen as a "Monster" even before he gets Evermillion inside of him. Its likely hinted that he may have similiar spell to Kazane as both share blood. (i legit confused as it considered incest if Kazane was Kagari blood related mother).

Dude I think the only way they can steal his power is by making him break all his seals which is the only reason why they are staying around him as close as possible. In wait of the first moment Evermillion seals are broken so they can take her..? well there's not enough in formation about that yet, maybe we will finally find out in a few chapter's, It's still a mystery as to why they think they can even use Evermillions power in the first place.

I wouldn't exactly say their bad since they are willing to protect some work shop witches but they are definitely evil that's for sure, I'm kinda guessing the whole slice of life thing is meant as comedy and to make you realize that the so called villains are also humans.. uh witches? beings? also the authors a female? welp i'm guessing that's why Mikage sensei was so gay and that most of the cast were females it also makes up for the lack of cliches.

Also about Kagari being yandere.. i've rewatched the anime (almost at the end) but it's weird.. at some times Kagari is yandere and other times shes not, like that time Takamiya was bullied in the hallway and Kagari only threatened them despite them manhandling Takamiya, also that time Kagari found out her two 'best friends' stole her underwear and did perverted and disgusting thing's with it and Kagari forgave them easily (Imagine a couple of guys doing it..), it's like she isn't fully a yandere because she doesn't really understand human emotions just yet, it also makes me wonder if she actually loves Takamiya or is only clinging on to the first person she knows, while the sister feels more like a possessive bro-con.

Lol I remember his first summon was Kagari in a nurse costume, but the penguin summon wasn't so surprising due to his overwhelming love of penguins, I actually thought Takamiya may have Firecraft but it could also be Evermillions craft, but if he actually has Kazanes craft he may actually have a mix of Dimension, Monster (Oni), Firecraft and Evermillions craft which could possibly make him the strongest witch if that were the case, if he also remember's his memories as Kazanes student he may actually be able to defeat someone like Kagari.. also incest is wincest so it's fine.

A witch who can turn people into any sort of object, who has lived for like fucking ever cannot perceive that Kazane doesn't know anything about the picture, doesn't realize that there could be witches who can perfectly transform into another. Then the final point is who took that nice shot? Far too many stupid people in this manga unless they do it to drag it out and for comedy.

People see what they wanna see and believe what they want to believe. She already had it out for Takamiya, she has no interest in second guessing the perfect proof when it falls into her lap.

She could have at least try to talk about the shapeshifter no ? Or is she not aware of that ?
