Synopsis: In a realm where only witches possess the ability to wield magic, they must remain unseen by ordinary humans while casting. While completing her chores, Coco dreams of becoming a witch. When a young witch named Qifrey arrives in her village, Coco discovers the “absolute secret,” becomes Qifrey’s apprentice, and embarks on her studies. This is a tale of children who face despair while reaching out towards hope.
