Champignon no Majo

Luna, the “Champignon Witch,” lives alone in a cottage deep in the Black Forest, poisonous mushrooms blooming wherever she goes. Townspeople rely on the powerful medicine she makes but fear touching her, while Luna must also hide the forbidden color of her magic in a kingdom that recognizes only white witches.

Her isolation changes when she saves a boy named Lize and learns that his fate is to bring all things to an end. Rather than abandon him, Luna chooses to become his teacher and steer him away from the future everyone fears. A woman who never learned how to receive human warmth suddenly has to teach a child compassion—and may discover it herself in the process.
