This manga is a collection of two short stories。 One is about a witch falling for a witch hunter and the other is about a girl who has an angel and a demon in love with her and following her around。 These are GL stories。 I sometimes find it hard to find a GL that I like but this one is really cute。 The stories are sweet。 I do like the witch one more。 This is a very cute and quick read。
Joe Kerr,
Great idea for a story。 It's a bit confusing at times, and lacks substance and detail, however。Overall I enjoyed it。 However, there are so many places the Magaka could have made things spicy, but didn't。 And the lack of detail。 Looked more like a storyboard layout, not a finished product。 Very rough draft, like almost no backgrounds or scenery。 I liked the characters, I will say that。 They were cute, racy, and bold。 I REALLY would have liked to see this end with the witch and hunter kissing。 Ala Great idea for a story。 It's a bit confusing at times, and lacks substance and detail, however。Overall I enjoyed it。 However, there are so many places the Magaka could have made things spicy, but didn't。 And the lack of detail。 Looked more like a storyboard layout, not a finished product。 Very rough draft, like almost no backgrounds or scenery。 I liked the characters, I will say that。 They were cute, racy, and bold。 I REALLY would have liked to see this end with the witch and hunter kissing。 Alas, not so。 Another thing。 It isn't made apparent till the afterword that this is actually 3 separate stories, done over about a 2 year period。 When it went from what seemed like a chapter's end to a completely different story, different realm, and different characters, I was really confused。 Even more confused when again what I thought to be a chapter's end, to immediately jumping back into and continuing the original story that started the book。 Another confusing thing, was that it was packaged on Amazon as the first volume of a new series, yet in the afterword, the Mangaka makes it clear the story is over。 Such a shame, I'd like to see both stories continued, however, presented more professionally with detailed art and backgrounds。 Overall I think this was a really good concept, both stories, the presentation and endings just lacked sorely。 。。。more

Way too short, this would’ve been a potential GL 😩😩😩😩😩
Sascha,
if you approach this for what it is (3 separate one shots written over the course of two years) you'll have a fun time。 Story 1 and 3 are a classic enemies-to-lovers situation of an untouchable witch falling for the witch hunter that refuses to quit until she catches the witch。 Story 2 is about a high school girl who has a demon and an angel in love with her that stick by her side throughout her day-to-day life。I much prefer the stories about Meg and Lilith, but the 'Demon Harem' story had its m if you approach this for what it is (3 separate one shots written over the course of two years) you'll have a fun time。 Story 1 and 3 are a classic enemies-to-lovers situation of an untouchable witch falling for the witch hunter that refuses to quit until she catches the witch。 Story 2 is about a high school girl who has a demon and an angel in love with her that stick by her side throughout her day-to-day life。I much prefer the stories about Meg and Lilith, but the 'Demon Harem' story had its moments as well。 It's all very lighthearted and doesn't hold up under more intense scrutiny (there's iffy consent issues when it comes to kissing + much older adult demons/angels hanging around and declaring their love for a 17 year old isn't the best look) but none of these were meant to be anything but yuri fluff pieces。It's nice that homophobia doesn't seem to exist in either universe (but Demon Harem is a yuri with a high school protagonist so of course we have to have the "but we're both girls" line) and that it's just a given that Meg and Lilith could and do love each other。 In 'Demon Harem', Samael and Belphegor's love for Kanna is also rather innocent and has more to do with keeping her safe than pursuing a serious romantic or sexual relationship with her。The art is nice and I enjoyed the designs for Samael and Belphegor quite a bit。 Creepy fan service is non-existent and the women are not overly objectified。 There's a few dynamic scenes that flow well, and all in all it feels like a yuri version of lighthearted shoujo I read as a kid。 I hope that this reaches its intended audience and does well, I wouldn't mind having similar works added to my collection。 。。。more
Ava D,
It was so cute! The characters interacted with each other in a silly and fun way and it was adorable how the love story played out!

4⭐️ Review:Are you kidding? This was so cute。This was my first gl manga and I really enjoyed it。 This standalone features two stories separated into three parts: 5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love - 4⭐️Demon’s Harem - 5⭐️5 Seconds Before Falling in Love with a Witch - 4⭐️This was easy to read, fast paced, and short。 I really wish we could get more of the Demon’s Harem story, it was my favorite 😭 Will definitely recommend this!

C’est chou。 C’est beau。 C’est drôle。 J’ai beaucoup aimé

Art 7/10Characters 7/10Story 6/10Cute set of one-shots with nice art。 I like the characters and the world seems interesting but I think both stories would have benefited from being longer。 I would be interested to see an ongoing series from this mangaka。

Oh comme ce titre me faisait envie! Moi qui suis une grande fan de tout ce qui a pour thème la sorcellerie en tout genre, chaque titre avec des sorcières qui sort me fait cruellement envie à chaque fois。 Le côté one shot de celui là m’attirait encore plus。 Le titre est hyper attirant, rien qu’en le voyant on a envie de découvrir plus en détails cette histoire。 Cet ouvrage se découpe en trois petites histoires, enfin deux histoires plutôt。 La deuxième se glisse entre deux chapitres de la première Oh comme ce titre me faisait envie! Moi qui suis une grande fan de tout ce qui a pour thème la sorcellerie en tout genre, chaque titre avec des sorcières qui sort me fait cruellement envie à chaque fois。 Le côté one shot de celui là m’attirait encore plus。 Le titre est hyper attirant, rien qu’en le voyant on a envie de découvrir plus en détails cette histoire。 Cet ouvrage se découpe en trois petites histoires, enfin deux histoires plutôt。 La deuxième se glisse entre deux chapitres de la première。 Chaque histoire est très plaisant à découvrir。 Sans jeux de mots, on est ensorcelé par cet univers。 C’est une lecture rapide et très agréable。 J’ai beaucoup aimé le format un peu plus grand qu’un manga standard。J’ai beaucoup aimé l’histoire avec Meg et Lilith。 Tout d’abord on a Meg, une sorcière solitaire qui fait des misères dans les villages aux alentours。 Et puis on a Lilith, une chasseuse de sorcières。 Elle passe son temps à chasser Meg mais au final elle la laisse toujours partir。 Au final, ces deux là passent leurs temps à se chamailler, à se jeter des sorts, à se poursuivre, à se faire des coups bas mais finissent par développer des sentiments l’une pour l’autre。 Lilithe est persuadé que Meg lui a jeté un sort qui la rend comme ça。 Meg en profite pour lui voler un baiser sauf que Lilith est persuadé qu’elle n’a toujours pas levé le sort。 C’est mon histoire préférée entre les deux。 J’ai vraiment adoré la relation entre Lilith et Meg, elles sont tellement drôle toutes les deux! Elles se détestent mais en même temps ne supportent pas être loin l’une de l’autre。 Elles sont la définition même du qui aime bien châtie bien!J’ai un peu moins accroché à la seconde histoire, pas qu’elle n’était pas intéressante bien au contraire mais plus parce qu’elle était hyper courte。 Comme c’est un format court, ce n’est pas développé à fond。 On y retrouve Kanna, une jeune humaine qui voit les choses qu’un humain n’est pas censé voir。 Un jour elle tombe sur deux créatures, une démone du nom de Belphegor et une ange déchue du nom de Samaël。 Une amitié très forte lient désormais ces trois là。 Une autre démone va faire son apparition et va mettre la pagaille dans cette amitié。 J’ai tout de même grandement apprécié la relation entre les personnages。 Elles sont très attachés à Kanna et j’aime beaucoup la façon qu’elles ont de la protéger。Ce one shot était très plaisant à lire。 J’ai vraiment passé un excellent moment durant ma lecture。 J’ai adoré l’histoire avec Meg et Lilith。 C’était drôle, c’était frais et c’était léger。 Le genre de livre parfait à lire pour se détendre tranquillement。 Je regrette juste le manque de développement de la seconde histoire。 Même si c’était une histoire génial c’était bien trop court à mon goût。 Mais ça n’enlève rien à la qualité de cette histoire。 C’est un petit one shot que je ne peux que vous conseiller si vous aimez les histoires avec des sorcières。 。。。more
Kye,
I had no idea this was an anthology when I picked it up。 The back is exceedingly misleading as it only gives the synopsis of the title story。 So I thought it was a one shot。 It's supposed to the enemies to lovers for our witch and witch hunter but it's so short there's zero transition from enemies to lovers。 I did enjoy the other short story with Kana and her angel and demon。 It was cute。 Overall it was cute but definitely not what I expected or what the back portrayed it to be。IG: kyetaku_ I had no idea this was an anthology when I picked it up。 The back is exceedingly misleading as it only gives the synopsis of the title story。 So I thought it was a one shot。 It's supposed to the enemies to lovers for our witch and witch hunter but it's so short there's zero transition from enemies to lovers。 I did enjoy the other short story with Kana and her angel and demon。 It was cute。 Overall it was cute but definitely not what I expected or what the back portrayed it to be。IG: kyetaku_ 。。。more

It's cute, but there's absolutely no indication that this is actually a collection of 3 yuri one-shots, two of which are connected。 I was really thrown for a loop trying to figure out how the second story tied in to the title story until at the very end, I realized it had nothing to do with it。 I think putting the two connected stories, the ones featuring Meg and Lilith, together and putting the other story either at the beginning or the end would have flowed better。 But that's just my opinion。 It's cute, but there's absolutely no indication that this is actually a collection of 3 yuri one-shots, two of which are connected。 I was really thrown for a loop trying to figure out how the second story tied in to the title story until at the very end, I realized it had nothing to do with it。 I think putting the two connected stories, the ones featuring Meg and Lilith, together and putting the other story either at the beginning or the end would have flowed better。 But that's just my opinion。 。。。more

Cute, but I wish it did more with the premise。 Also the way it's organized is weird - it's a 2-part short stories following one couple and then a 1-shot following another character。 The 1-shot is sandwiched between the two parts so it reads a little confusingly。 Cute, but I wish it did more with the premise。 Also the way it's organized is weird - it's a 2-part short stories following one couple and then a 1-shot following another character。 The 1-shot is sandwiched between the two parts so it reads a little confusingly。 。。。more

This was my very first manga! It was absolutely adorable and I found myself smiling every few pages。 A very cute short manga about a witch and witch hunter who fall in love。 There is also a small short about an angel and a demon called demons harem, who love and protect a human from other demons。 Both were awesome。

'5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love' is a collection of three short stories; two about a witch and witch-hunter pair who have fallen for each other, and one about a normal high-school girl being followed by an angel and devil pair。 They're all really cute, filled with people who can't quite admit their feelings, but also can't ignore them, and it's a great afternoon read。 '5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love' is a collection of three short stories; two about a witch and witch-hunter pair who have fallen for each other, and one about a normal high-school girl being followed by an angel and devil pair。 They're all really cute, filled with people who can't quite admit their feelings, but also can't ignore them, and it's a great afternoon read。 。。。more

Super cute yuri collection of two stories - A Witch Falls in Love and Demon's Harem。 I looooved the former。。。Meg and Lilith were too cute, and even though it was just two short chapters, I thought they had great chemistry and the world building was surprisingly solid。 Demon's Harem was cute but I was caught off-guard by the weird placement in the volume。。。instead of having both chapters of A Witch Falls in Love followed by Demon's Harem, it had one chapter of witch, the single demon chapter, and Super cute yuri collection of two stories - A Witch Falls in Love and Demon's Harem。 I looooved the former。。。Meg and Lilith were too cute, and even though it was just two short chapters, I thought they had great chemistry and the world building was surprisingly solid。 Demon's Harem was cute but I was caught off-guard by the weird placement in the volume。。。instead of having both chapters of A Witch Falls in Love followed by Demon's Harem, it had one chapter of witch, the single demon chapter, and then the last witch chapter。 With no explanation!!! So I thought that it was one continuous story with the weirdest, most random middle part。 Having the two be clearly separated would have made this such a better reading experience。Still overall v。 cute。 。。。more
Emily,
Super cute romance。 It's an enemies to lovers where one character is a witch and the other a witch hunter。 There's also another little story with a high schooler that can see fantastical things and comes across a demon and an angel。 Both super cute, if there's a volume 2 I'll read it。 Super cute romance。 It's an enemies to lovers where one character is a witch and the other a witch hunter。 There's also another little story with a high schooler that can see fantastical things and comes across a demon and an angel。 Both super cute, if there's a volume 2 I'll read it。 。。。more

When it comes to love, gender’s just an optional extra。Lilith is a witch hunter who goes at it hammer and tongs with the ancient sorceress, Meg, but can never quite seem to win out。 Then cat hi-jinx start happening。 Elsewhere, Kanna, a young schoolgirl, is followed by an angel and a demon who should be trying to save/corrupt her soul, but appear to have more carnal pursuits in mind…This book is a collection of one-shots that appeared in Yuri Hime, all done by the same mangaka, which are all fair When it comes to love, gender’s just an optional extra。Lilith is a witch hunter who goes at it hammer and tongs with the ancient sorceress, Meg, but can never quite seem to win out。 Then cat hi-jinx start happening。 Elsewhere, Kanna, a young schoolgirl, is followed by an angel and a demon who should be trying to save/corrupt her soul, but appear to have more carnal pursuits in mind…This book is a collection of one-shots that appeared in Yuri Hime, all done by the same mangaka, which are all fairly queer in tone, although outside of that great quote leading this review, the angel/demon story is merely okay and actually super chaste except for (as expected) demonic workwear。That story was the author’s first published work and it definitely shows, going a bit too overboard cramming stuff into its running time, yet still managing to be fun, but not exemplary。 Not a bad read by any means, though hardly the star of this show。 It definitely tries to be way more than you can fit into a single 40-page story。With Meg and Lilith, however, the book bookends itself with two really silly and generally fun stories about a hopeless 508-year-old witch and the hunter who loves her。 Or is cursed to love her。 Maybe。 It does exactly enough to convey setting, relationships, backstory, romance, and then wrap it all up。These two are a cute pairing and play off one another well, even if neither of them wants to admit their feelings。 It’s also surprisingly forthright about respecting and discussing consent between the parties in a way that many manga aren’t and said discussion doesn’t get in the way of things at all。 It’s very smartly done - there is a standout scene featuring a truth serum that’s absolutely better than it has any right to be。When looking at any one-shot, the big question is whether it is fun enough to justify its existence and whether it tells a cohesive story。 Thankfully, Meg and Lilith’s story is, as noted, done very neatly - even the first part ends well enough that if the second part didn’t exist it would be fine。 That really shows how much better the mangaka got at this。The art is especially well done - the expressions of bashful embarrassment on these two as they sort themselves out and dance around their mutual affection are great。 Lots of yelling and getting caught up in the moment abound。 The (un)helpful warlock in the background is a great addition too。Two fun yuri stories that acquit themselves well and make a very cute and fluffy way to enjoy the genre without having to sweat any especially deep meanings or a heavy plot。 A really nice “beach read” manga that’s a bit of a novelty for what we get released for yuri - I would certainly not be opposed to more of these。4 stars - 3 stars for the angel/demon/Kanna menagerie, 4 stars for our titular witch and her love, but they feature more prominently in the book, so 4 it is。 A very welcome start to my reading week。 。。。more
Brandon,
It's fine。 Characters are cute with some nice action but it's always committing to the two of them refusing to acknowledge their romantic feelings instead of doing anything with the momentum。 The two-parter is interrupted by an unrelated one-shot in the middle and that one-shot is fun and all but it's confusing the way the whole series is collected。 This could have had more magic! More chasing! Or more actual romance! But it's all done in minimal amounts。 There are some nice jokes, some great mo It's fine。 Characters are cute with some nice action but it's always committing to the two of them refusing to acknowledge their romantic feelings instead of doing anything with the momentum。 The two-parter is interrupted by an unrelated one-shot in the middle and that one-shot is fun and all but it's confusing the way the whole series is collected。 This could have had more magic!

C'était mignon mais sans plus。 Comme nous l'indique la mangaka à la fin, ce sont de courtes histoires parues dans un magazine de yuri et ce qu'il manque c'est un peu plus de longueur et développement pour pouvoir s'attacher etc。 C'était mignon mais sans plus。 Comme nous l'indique la mangaka à la fin, ce sont de courtes histoires parues dans un magazine de yuri et ce qu'il manque c'est un peu plus de longueur et développement pour pouvoir s'attacher etc。 。。。more

Ce manga est composé de trois courtes histoires : deux qui concernent la sorcière et la chasseuse de sorcières et une qui concerne une lycéenne qui peut voir les créatures surnaturelles。 L'histoire de la lycéenne est de trop et ne s'accorde pas du tout avec les deux autres (donc inutile)。 Les histoires de la sorcière et de la chasseuse de sorcières sont mignonnes même si l'intrigue use de grosses ficelles。 En bref, empruntez-le si vous le pouvez au lieu de l'acheter。 Ce manga est composé de trois courtes histoires : deux qui concernent la sorcière et la chasseuse de sorcières et une qui concerne une lycéenne qui peut voir les créatures surnaturelles。 L'histoire de la lycéenne est de trop et ne s'accorde pas du tout avec les deux autres (donc inutile)。 Les histoires de la sorcière et de la chasseuse de sorcières sont mignonnes même si l'intrigue use de grosses ficelles。 En bref, empruntez-le si vous le pouvez au lieu de l'acheter。 。。。more
