Eden of Witches Volume 1

When a young witch is driven from her home by humankind, she must discover her powers and seek a way to save her world. In a Ghibli-esque fantasy universe, plants and animals have faded from a land devastated by human activity. Only witches can converse with nature, and they hide in verdant lairs while being blamed for environmental ruin. Pili, a witch-apprentice, travels with her loyal wolf companion Oak. Their journey is interrupted when Pili is injured and found by Bowei, who helps her recover. The arrival of a mysterious outsider raises suspicion among villagers, and the fate of captured witches hangs in the balance. Eden of Witches weaves a lush, magical coming-of-age story that invites readers to imagine a fairy-tale where witches and their familiars are the last keepers of the natural world. Aimed at fans of nature-centered fantasy, it blends adventure with intimate character growth in a vividly illustrated world.

Pili’s bond with nature and her struggle to belong in a hostile world drive the narrative, while the tension between humankind and the natural realm provides a sweeping backdrop. The artwork is described as lush and immersive, enhancing the emotional and ecological stakes of the story.
