Witch Please

Aris Calisto comes from a distinguished family of Elementals and who happens to have the infamous honor of being a mixta. Sent to a school far away from home she finds friends as well as who and what she truly is.

Alright first some quick explanation in this world there are 5 main classifications of witches: Potions, Divination & Scrying, Summoning, Spell Casters, and Elementals. Witches that don't fall neatly into one of these are called Mixtas, and are seen as the lowest of the low. Being a mixta is why Aris is so excited for a fresh start at Ather Academy, its a chance for a new start and to escape a family that wants nothing to do with her.

What I liked:

The cast of characters is extremely diverse and interesting. In this reverse harem you have all of your favorite personality types, the studious one, the sweet one, the bad boy and a couple more mixed in. They balance each other out well and I love the different familars they get.

I really enjoy how magic is used in this world. With the main five types there are a ton of different ways to utilize powers, and it makes a good allegory for people being bullied for things completely out of their control.

What I Disliked:

The physical aspect of all of the relationships were extraordinarily rushed. Yes they were bound by magic, yes it wasn't all of them, but still she had sex with half of her harem in less than two weeks, and the others shortly there after. I prefer when the relationships are built up over time and it leads here, especially when there are multiple people involved.

I also don't feel like the dynamic was completely realistic. Seriously no jealously, at all, from any of them? It doesn't feel real, being okay with sharing is one thing. However, being jealous of her time, not being fully comfortable seeing her doing PDA with any of the others is completely natural and the absolute lack feels weird.

In Summary:

Over all, I won't be continuing this series. It is cute and sweet and I really enjoy the world building, the central conflict was interesting, and there is intrigue as to what will become of the little group. That being said the unrealistic nature of the relationships makes me not want to continue, it's something that I have a hard time getting past.
