Plot
Liselotte is an exiled noble woman who, despite her status, is completely incompetent at handling things independently. With her twin servants, Alto and Anna, by her side, she begins to start her new life moving in to her new house next to a mystical forest said to be filled with witches. While there, Liselotte encounters a stranger named Engetsu whose past is shrouded in mystery.
Release
Natsuki Takaya launched the series in the twelfth issue of Hana to Yume on May 20, 2011.[1] The series went on hiatus in December 2013 to allow the author to recover from an illness.[2] Takaya announced in July 2015 that she had no immediate plans to relaunch the series, but would "try hard to resume her work little by little".[3]
In December 2015, Yen Press announced that it had licensed the series. The first volume was released on July 26, 2016, with a new volume coming out every three months.[4]
