This one is underrated even as a standalone anime. Together with the manga it is a crime to rate it less then highest mark.
Basically, what we see here are just introduction arcs: 27 out of 100+ manga chapters developed into anime. It is enough for you to notice how good this title is but it goes way way better in later chapters.
Story has a nice pace, decent developments and it revolves around a lot of charismatic characters constantly getting in absurd situations.
Witches are crazy. Every last one of them. Kind of inevitable, since their powers bend reality easily. Even a minor fight looks like the world is about to end. It's uncountable how many times their city got destroyed and reconstructed with magic. That gives story this absurd humorous vibe while keeping the main developments meaningful and serious.
If you love this kind of show, check it out.
PS. Manga has god-tier backgrounds: alligator roaming school corridors, Abrams M1 parked at the gate, etc...
