Review: Ravina the Witch? HC

ravinathewitchv1-size-600

A bewitching and beautiful tale of an orphan girl who was raised by crows in a trash heap.

One day, a dying witch gifts her with a mysterious magic wand and her life changes forever! Now, the human world is hers to play with… Or will this land of fear and corruption prove too much for the fledgling witch?

In a time of witch hunts, Ravina must have her wits about her!

Ravina The Witch? reminds of the classic Grimm Fairytales a little bit. It shares a lot of the atmosphere with that set of stories. Writer Junko Mizuno manages to deliver and include a complex and interesting main character. She manages to have some interesting, and at times hilarious adventures as she explores man’s world.

I really liked the art style (Mizuno does double duty and provides the art as well). It manages to create a proper mix of dark, and light atmosphere when the story calls for it. It also does a solid job in capturing the fairytale atmosphere but in a subtle way.
