Kiki and the Other Witch

Kiki, the beloved young witch, and her clever cat Jiji are back again! This sequel, translated into English for the first time, will reveal more to the story that inspired the luminous Hayao Miyazaki classic film, Kiki's Delivery Service.

Kiki, now sixteen, is ready for another magical adventure as spring returns to Koriko for the fourth time since she made it her home. But when twelve-year-old Keke bursts into her life with unexpected powers and a mischievous spirit, Kiki's world is thrown into chaos.

This free-spirited girl challenges everything Kiki knows about herself and her identity as a witch. To navigate this whirlwind and emerge stronger, Kiki must embark on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering the true essence of her powers and what really matters in her life.

Kiki and the Other Witch, beautifully illustrated by Yuta Onoda, is a spellbinding tale of magic, mystery, and the courage to find oneself. Perfect for fans of the cult classic Studio Ghibli film and anyone who loves a cozy fantasy adventure.
