Description

In this manga-inspired YA graphic novel, Tokyo schoolgirl Hana Suzuki's life is changed forever when she is chosen to attend Japan's premier magical academy

A magical story of friendship and new beginnings, Red Threads: A Witch's Tale is perfect for fans of Magic Fish, Beetle and the Hollowbones, and Spirited Away.

Fifteen-year-old Hana is bored by her humdrum existence in Tokyo--there must be more to life than cram school and chores. After she rescues a crow caught in a net by her house, a mysterious visitor arrives at her door, offering her the chance to enroll in the most prestigious magic academy in Japan: The Benten School of Esoterics.

Hana jumps at the chance for adventure and life at Benten is everything she ever dreamed of--magic, mystical creatures, and making a new best friend in fellow new student Yoomi. But before long, Hana's dream becomes a nightmare.

Something is haunting the halls, and a series of horrifying attacks leave everyone wondering: is Benten cursed? Will the legendary school have to close its doors for good? If Hana and Yoomi want to save their new home, they'll have to unravel the mystery or die trying!
