The manga’s story centers on Coco, a girl who lives in a little village, and who has always dreamed of becoming a wizard. But being born without magical aptitude meant that she could never become a wizard, and could never hope to witness magic’s spark. She gave up on her dream. But one day, a traveling wizard named Qifrey came to her village, and she happened to see him performing magic.<\/p>\n

Ayumu Watanabe<\/a> (Ace Attorney<\/a>, Doraemon<\/a> films) directed the anime at BUG FILMS<\/a>. Hiroaki Kojima<\/a> (animation producer for Komi Can’t Communicate<\/a>) produced.
