Holy crap that is a good comic. Is it being serialized then? Seems like it's been ages since chapter one came out.

Since the translator makes a point of thanking someone for providing the raws, I'm assuming obtaining raws for it is a bitch.

Edit: Guess they got multiples, as chapters 3 and 4 just went up on Batoto http://www.batoto.net/comic/_/comics/flying-witch-r7645

Are Japanese carrots more bitter than other kinds? It seems they're often the vegetable to pick on in anime/manga, as opposed to like broccoli or whatever.

I can't find a good source easily, but there are a number of people reporting at least hearsay that American carrots were bred to be sweeter and less bitter than, say, Japanese carrots.

Of course, cooking em down to mush in a curry makes it kind of a moot point, but don't tell little kids that. :)

I really liked this chapter, a lot more than the last two. Just seeing how the world of the ...eerie supernatural intersects with the ordinary. I want to see more stuff like that! I've always felt that stories with supernatural things like witches and the sort are much improved by having just some :wtc: :psyduck: stuff just be "there".

Big respect to the translator for capturing the 'there-are-some-words-in-there-I-recognize-but-what-in-the-unholy-gently caress' essence of Tsugaru-ben in chapter 3.

I like seeing some actual magic. Also, it was cool how her older sister went away with a magic circle. There wasn't any flashes of light or smoke or anything, one moment she was there, the other she was gone. I love that subdued yet undeniably magical approach- it just feels more like authentic magic.

Chapters 8-11 of our favorite manga about donut-shaped cats!

The name apparently is supposed to be "Donuts" according to Kissmanga! Donyatsu -> Do - Nyatsu -> Do-Nyats -> Donuts! Except with a "Nya" because they are cats. I can't believe I didn't realize that earlier.

Oh haha I thought he was a bear claw.

On a more serious note, I'm getting a huge EVA vibe from that giant robot. But I liked how, even in the middle of this sci-fi craziness, the strange dark energy-being is a cat with a doughnut-shaped body. That gets annoyed with another cat-donut when it doesn't understand him. Whatever happens, it is still going to be very silly.
