The Book Briefing: 23rd September

Another busy day in the reading world with new book announcements and reveals, events happening...

In a modern world where being a successful witch is as much showmanship as it is about brewing potions, young Madge and her roommate Ririka, are looking to make names for themselves and to earn some money. Sure, these girls don't have much, and their living space is barely big enough to fit one person (let alone two!), but they're taking it one day at a time. That's witch life, after all!

Description

Witch Life in a Micro Room, Vol. 1 tells the story of Madge and Lilika, two fledgling C-rank witches who share a cramped 99-square foot apartment in the bustling city. Struggling to make ends meet, they take on the most menial of jobs and survive on a diet of just cabbage for dinner.

Despite their circumstances, the girls are determined to improve their current situation. Their dreams include having a pet, acquiring a collection of grimoires, and enjoying the luxury of eating meat. With a lot of hard work and dedication, they hope to make these dreams come true. All they need is some elbow grease!
