Description
Jill, the first princess of the Dylan Magic Kingdom, was born the daughter of Bazarde, the queen and most powerful witch and was expected to succeed her. But Jill has no talent, she can only use weak magic such as 【Water Creation】 and 【Dry】. Her control is good, but the power is inferior to a child and her other special skills are sewing and cooking. In the end, the king abandoned and banished her from the castle. Her engagement was broken, she lost her status and in desperation, Jill tried to throw herself into the estate given to her in mercy. However, inside the estate, she discovers a strange foreign book. It was a hobbyist magazine such as, 『Make Your Own Clothes from One Piece to a Dress』 『Dyeing at Home』 『Easy Leather Craft』 『Let’s Become a Handmade Artist!』 The more she reads the book, the more Jill is struck by the catchphrase, 『Wear your own clothes and live your own life, not for anyone else』 「If I apply my magic, I can make all the wonderful clothes in this book …or rather, I want to make one! It would be ridiculous to die now!」 Forgetting about her despair, Jill began to make clothes and accessories utilizing the book’s knowledge, magical plants and flowers found in the garden that can bear any plant. Then some strange people showed up, including a merchant who took an interest in Jill, a craftsman who sympathized with Jill’s aspirations, and a prince who was supposed to have broken off the engagement…? Meanwhile, the signs of rebellion began to appear in the kingdom that had driven Jill out.

My Thoughts on Witch Hand Craft
Alright, let's dive into "Witch Hand Craft." I've been spending some time with this one, and I'm ready to share my thoughts. It's a fantasy shoujo with some interesting elements, particularly the crafting aspect, that sets it apart.
First Impressions
My initial impression was positive. The prologue does a decent job of setting the stage – a world of magic, nobles, and a protagonist who's seemingly underestimated. It quickly establishes the core conflict with the broken engagement trope, which, while not groundbreaking, is a familiar and effective way to kick things off. I was definitely intrigued enough to keep reading.
What Works Well
What I appreciate most about "Witch Hand Craft" is the focus on the crafting element. It's not just a backdrop; it seems integral to the story and the protagonist's development. The female lead is compelling, and the hints of her being underestimated make me root for her. There's a definite sense of potential for her to rise above her circumstances and prove everyone wrong. The story seems well-paced, with a good balance between world-building and character development. The magical system, while still unfolding, feels intuitive and well-integrated.
Areas of Concern
While the setup is promising, I do have a few minor hesitations. The broken engagement trope can feel a bit cliché if not handled carefully. I'm hoping the author will put a unique spin on it and avoid some of the more predictable pitfalls. I'm also curious to see how the crafting element will evolve as the story progresses. Will it remain a central focus, or will it fade into the background?
Final Verdict
Overall, I'm enjoying "Witch Hand Craft." It's a fun, engaging read with a lot of potential. The crafting aspect adds a unique flavor to the familiar fantasy shoujo genre, and the underestimated protagonist is easy to root for. While there are a few areas where I hope to see further development and originality, I'm definitely invested enough to keep following the story. I would recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a lighthearted fantasy with a touch of crafting magic.
