People and nature are at odds in this epic Ghibli-esque fantasy manga from debut author Yumeji In a world devastated by humankind and forsaken by plants and animals, only witches have the power to communicate with nature.

Her fatigue quickly takes its toll, and she ends up injuring herself by tumbling down a rocky slope! Fortunately, a boy named Bowei finds Pili and takes her home to nurse her back to health. However, the arrival of the unfamiliar young lady arouses suspicion among other villagers, who quickly discern her true nature as a witch. And all captured witches share the fate of execution! Eden of Witches is a magical and lushly illustrated coming-of-age story perfect for fans of Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa¨, and Witch Hat Atelier, brought expertly to life by rising star manga artist Yumeji.
