An experienced witch is ordered to teach magic to a gifted lonely boy captured by the church in modern-day Edinburgh, Scotland.

The art is excellent and the premise is enough to draw one in...and then, nothing. The setting is explored very haphazardly, the central conflict is relegated to one or two chapters and left basically unexplained, and the conclusion is hackneyed.
I'm all for happy endings, which this manga appears to have, but it'd be nice for them to be earned. Theo and Marie survived 'til the end, basically, since the conflict was so threadbare as to practically be missing.
I recall being interested in the manga due to the unique cover and the art itself is really beautiful and original. The overall story reminds me of Magnus Bride but I like how the witch was the teacher this time around and it's set in modern Europe too.
The downside eh, I admit I ended up reading it all in one go but I still felt confused by the story near the middle. There are just too many side characters and I kinda felt that the magical system wasn't really explained well to the readers. I ended up following the manga-ka on social media so I hope her new works are better.
