Tweeny Witches

Synopsis

More than 14 years before the events of the series begin, a Japanese archaeologist named Jidan (ジダン, Jidan) fell down the hole of the ruins on the mysterious Crow Island into the Magical Realm (魔法界, Mahō Kai) during his research on the crow statue (クロウ像, kurō zō). He was found and imprisoned by Grande (グランデ, Gurande), the leader and general of the warlocks (魔族, mazoku). A witch soldier named Atelia (アテリア, Ateria) rescued him and later had a son named Lennon (レノン, Renon) together. Jidan left her to seal the True Book of Spells (真の魔導書, Shin no Madōsho) away in the Human Realm (人間界, Ningen Kai), keeping the forbidden dark magic (黒魔法, kuro mahō) from turning the Human Realm into an empty haven for the witches (魔女, majo) and warlocks from their old, dying Magical Realm. During a voyage back to the Human Realm, Jidan was accidentally separated from his son, who would grow up to be a pirate on the Interdimensional Sea (異次元の海, Ijigen no Umi). Jidan eventually married Yoko (ヨーコ, Yōko), with whom he had a daughter named Arusu (アルス, Arusu). He taught their young daughter to believe in magic and use magic for happiness, with the True Book of Spells as a present for her 5th birthday. He left the family for the Magical Realm in search of his son, only to endure 6 years of imprisonment in Wizard Kingdom (ウィザードキングダム, Wizādo Kingudamu), the underground capital city of the Warlock Realm (魔族界, Mazoku Kai). In the present day, Arusu finds herself in the Magical Realm at the age of 11, summoned by Lennon and the True Book of Spells. She is captured by some witches alongside a mina fairy (妖精ミーナ, yōsei mīna), only for Eva (エバ, Eba) to release her in gratitude for giving her a sweet chestnut, species of which do not grow wild in the realm. Arusu is initially delighted that her dream has finally been granted, however, she is not satisfied with the way of the witches, insisting that magic should only be used to make people happy. When she releases all the fairies (妖精, yōsei) the witches have captured as the source of magic spells, she is tasked with removing the Curse of Eternal Youth (大人になれない魔法, Otona ni nare-nai Mahō) from Sheila (シーラ, Shīra) and Eva, two apprentice witches of her age. During their attempts to recapture the fairies, Arusu and her new friends deal with the special task force (特殊捕獲部隊, tokushu hokaku butai), an elite team of combat-oriented witches sent by Atelia, now one of the Three Sages (三賢者, San Kenja), for the same purpose. Arusu begins to live with her new friends in Dragon House (ドラゴンハウス, Doragon Hausu) as Atelia arranges for her to live as an apprentice witch.
