That was a brutal first chapter, a bit formulaic but really wow the mother's attack was merciless... Hope she survives, it all points to that.

if Combing Magic can be used that way, then I wonder what can Stitching Magic do at it's max potential. can it stitch wound and "repair" a living being?

I don't think she is dead, we haven't seen a corpse.
Same with the father. Wouldn't be surprised if they showed up again.

Really like the story so far. The magic system is cool with household things like sewing and combing applied to more out there situations! And the art is great! Looking forward to more!

Whoa, completely forgot about the oneshot. Interesting restructuring of the characters and world. I see lots of potential here, even if the eeeevil mage at the end seems a rather mundane choice for a BBEG.

This is so ass, they just wrote shonen Kingdoms of Ruins.

Witch and the Beast still is the king for edgy witches!

I think there's an interesting commentary on power dynamics. A major question is why the mage class isn't in the higher echelons; mages can reproduce, so why shouldn't they be in a position of power? I'm sure it'll be answered soon; possible theories include the controlled reproduction of mages under state surveillance or that the birth of mages is more arbitrary than direct lineage. Either way, if I were a 'regular folks,' I would have good reason to be wary of mages. But the suppression of mages under their system is also antagonistic to 'regular folks, ' as seen by the forced betrayal from Lovi. A system that forces you to act like Big Brother in your neighborhood serves no one besides the state. It may seem like killing Lovi's entire family was contrived, but the logic behind it was to strike fear. Report the mage, or else you and your loved ones will die too. This way, the regular folks are threatened by the system that is supposed to protect them.

This wasn't very subtle; the bureau directly states that magic isn't inherently an issue. The problem arises when they lack a monopoly on magic. It's funny that magic is so dangerous that regular people shouldn't be in contact with it, but conveniently safe enough in government facilities far away from civilian eyes.

please laaawd no yuri💔💔 ion even hate yuri I just hate the leeches we call yuritards and IK they will lap this shit up if it has an inkling of yuri..

regardless of yuri or not this setting and story seems really good so I think it'll be a negligible factor

I don't know how you can be bothered by homosexuality when the premise of the first chapter is why bigotry is wrong.

I said I don't hate yuri, I hate yuritards, and if it means this cool manga will get festered by them then I'd rather this not become yuri at all
