There is a story about the shooting star broom in the manga that references the anime episodes, but is not in the anime itself. The events in this manga are not exact to what is in the anime series episodes, and references events in those episodes.
Please watch the main anime series before you start this manga.
There is a 20 minute short stand-alone episode and a short movie called "The Magic Parade" for "Little Witch Academia" that acted as promo animations to get a greenlight for the main series (neither of these is necessarily canon to the main series itself, but they're worth a watch) and then the main series itself, which is two seasons long. Now here is where I must make the obligatory Netflix plug and stress it: you should not start reading this manga if you have not watched the anime. Akko doesn't come from a witch family and cannot perform even the simplest of magical feats, but that's not going to stop her from attending Luna Nova Academy in England, for it is the alma mater of her witch idol, Shiny Chariot! So there's some food for thought: Luna Nova Academy for Witches isn't the first magical school in media we've seen, and it likely won't be the last either.)īut here's the critical thing that separates "Little Witch Academia" from both Harry Potter and other magical girl series in the magical girl genre: our protagonist Atsuko "Akko" Kagari can't do magic. (To be fair, Harry Potter parallels very strongly with "The Worst Witch", a television series that originally aired on BBC before Rowling began writing "Philosopher's Stone", and those ardent Potterheads ready to cry plagiarism against Trigger Studios for "ripping off" their precious Hogwarts should take into account that Rowling herself faced lawsuits for her work being far too similar to "The Worst Witch". Someone might despair this as nonsense, as the series feels heavily influenced by Harry Potter, and indeed I've seen that parallel drawn several times by now.

And in all the years and vast titles that populate the magical girl genre, I don't know if I've ever quite encountered anything like "Little Witch Academia".
