In order to prevent Ran from falling out of bed, why don't her parents just turn the entire floor into a bed?

She's not the smartest beast.
That'd be giving in to her midnight flights.
Gotta teach her not to do that. And falling off her bed repeatedly is probably a good start.

A few minute break and we'll get into our second chapter.

This was so good EXCEPT for the ending which was a bait and switch for my inner pedo.

And onto chapter 2.

I guess thats a compliment.

Thank you OP
I started this series ages ago, enjoyed it but then somehow couldn't read for a while after I reached volume two or something, forgot about it and when I remembered the series again I forgot the content so I planned to re-read it. This is a good opportunity.

Sweet, was meaning to check it out ever since I've red the author's Iceland manga

Life can be a cartoon.
They clean up as the story goes on, but they can be a bit too pretty or so early on. Really shojo manga.

pretty good series to learn how to groom someone.

Hope you two have a good (re)read.

I love that series and it's yet another example for how good original fantasy is. I wish this would get an anime on day. Cannot believe it, but I wouldn't have thought Atelier Witch Hat to get one either.

Jin is so ungrateful.

This one of my favorite manga. Never thought I would see it receive love on Yea Forums.

Not much interest in trying to the magic powers I suppose.
Thats how it goes. Its a really imaginative work.
At least it was allowed to run as long as it needed to. Not axed or cut short or anything. Thats more than some other series get.

Thanks op for dumping the series I'll try to keep up everyday.

Such a kind lady.

Why is Jin so grumpy? Is it because his mom missed too many of his birthdays?

Jin is literally me

I've long been cursed with impeccable taste.

Yeah you can really consider yourself lucky when that happens. Even MiA was about to get cancelled at some point. The based person that decided to adapt it saved it from irrelevancy. I even remember how sporadic the Scanlations were. Ousama Ranking would have never got a proper translation either without that. I am glad Frieren and Witch Hat are doing well, there are quite many good fantasy manga out there.

Just a hormonal teenager, surely.

Thats a wrap for today's storytime.
An introduction to our main family unit. And some ideas of the general personalities of our main characters. And an idea of how the magic of this world is treated and what it is like.
I hope you all enjoyed and plan to stick with it.

What'd you think of the introduction?

Attached: 1631044235197.jpg (1725x2475, 158.12K)

It's been years since I read this but the rapey glasses guy ruined it.

>What'd you think of the introduction?
I like it a lot because it's..original? Distinct. Just as the art style.
Sure there are a lot of series with magical family members but it feels unique so far and the characters are nice. It's fun and light-hearted but it comes off like something that has an exact idea of that it wants to be so I don't worry about the series meandering in the future.

I hate kids

I find him hilarious in how much he's basically Kaiba from Yugioh written as a romantic interest.
He goes too far in some places, I'd agree. But the payoff for them is worth it.
