When a young witch apprentice loses her home and mentor to witch hunts, can she awaken her druid-like powers and flee to safety? Humankind and nature are at odds in this epic Ghibli-esque fantasy manga, perfect for fans of Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa¨, and Witch Hat Atelier!

In a world devastated by humankind and forsaken by plants and animals, only witches have the power to communicate with nature.

A long time ago, plants and animals lived in harmony . . . until mankind came to power and, unable to coexist with nature, destroyed and exploited both flora and fauna without a second thought. Now the world has become a barren wasteland. But witches have the power to speak to nature. Blamed for the extinction of plant life, and feared by humanity for their powers, they hide away from the rest of humanity in secret lairs bursting with greenery.

Pilly, a young, witch-apprentice, has set out on a journey accompanied by the wolf Oak. Following the voice of amurd spirits, they have discovered a hidden alcove of witches in the mountains. Unfortunately, its residents know nothing about Eden—their promised destination. As they prepare to hit the road again, a little girl wants to follow them to look for her missing daddy. However, when she learns the terrible truth–that her father is already dead–her frenzied power manifests!

That’s when Oak hears footsteps in the distance. Witch-hunting soldiers are heading straight for the refuge. Pilly rushes out with the intent to be bait, giving everyone time to escape, but will she manage to come out unscathed? Or will she be captured and sentenced to death as a witch?

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. It will sweep readers away into a fairytale where witches and their familiars are the last keepers of the natural world.
