In the witches' tradition, when a practitioner turns 15, they must become independent and leave their home to study witchcraft. Makoto Kowata is one such apprentice witch who leaves her parents' home in Yokohama in pursuit of knowledge and training. Along with her companion Chito, a black cat familiar, they embark on a journey to Aomori, a region favored by witches due to its abundance of nature and affinity with magic. They begin their new life by living with Makoto's second cousins, Kei Kuramoto and his little sister Chinatsu.
While Makoto may seem to be attending high school like any other teenager, her whimsical and eccentric involvement with witchcraft sets her apart from others her age. From her encounter with an anthropomorphic dog fortune teller to the peculiar magic training she receives from her older sister Akane, Makoto's peaceful everyday life is filled with the idiosyncrasies of witchcraft that she shares with her friends and family.

(3.86/5)Good anime for beginners. They speak very clearly. So clearly in fact, it sometimes felt like audio tracks from textbooks. There are instances of very thick Tsugaru dialect and drunk people muffling words but you're not expected to understand them.
The protagonist speaks politely unlike many other slice-of-life anime where you have to deal with the complexities of casual language. This is useful for grabbing set sentences and idioms that you can use in most situations. As an added benefit, this
empty plot
fairly boring, most episodes feel really empty. theres some decent episodes though at least.
language is mostly easy but idk if I would recommend to a beginner that has yet to get comfortable with hearing the language due to the dialect used in the show. theres also not much going on with magic related vocab so if you have only watched non magical shows that wont cause a problem imo.
