I loved this! Reminiscent of Studio Ghibli, this romeo and juliet-esque story draws you right in! I loved the chemistry between Morgana and Oz!

<i>Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an ARC in return for an honest review!</i>

This was one of the first graphic novels I have read as an adult and it was really enjoyable! The artwork is bright, colorful and fun! The story is fast-paced and found myself finishing quiet quickly wanting to keep going. It's cute, sweet and had me laughing at some parts. It seems very innocent and wholesome. The story follows a clumsy, cute and quirky witch, Morgana, and a grumpy vampire turned cat, Oz. This magical story is a Romeo and Juliet retelling, but with a twist based on a long standing animosity between witches and vampires. I adored Morgana and the way she is just trying her best! She has a sweet relationship with her brother, and I loved the dynamic between her and Oz when she accidentally turned him in to a cat. I can't wait to see more of their romance as the series continues. I was not expecting that cliffhanger at the end! I recommend this is if you like romance, graphic novels and fantasy/magical elements :)

This was really cute! I was not expecting what would happen to oz but I can already see the friendship forming. I also have my suspicions on who is behind everything so I am definitely intrigued and excited about part 2!

Thank you Publisher for this advanced copy.

Miyuli really knows how to make a cute story. The artstyle is also cute

This was super cute! I loved the art style and the story is essentially enemies to lovers. A long standing rivalry between the witches and vampires leaves Morgana and Oz on opposing sides. All hell breaks loose in the first chapter with a meeting between the two and an ill chanted spell.

I’m excited this will be printed in a physical book, the art and plot deserve to be outside the app platform. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the rest of the series!

Disclaimer: the huge WEBTOON watermark in the middle of each page really threw off my vibe. It also took away from the art. So luckily I have the webtoon app and read it in there. This first volume includes chapters 1-19.

What happens when a struggling witch meets an angsty vampire? Either love or war.

Absolutely adorable! I seriously couldn't get enough of this book. This is like a cuter (hopefully happier) supernatural version of Romeo and Juliet except there are talking cats!
I was drawn in by the cover art and the art is just beautiful throughout, there are so many cute details, especially the way the emotions are shown. I just felt so happy whilst reading this and that will be the biggest selling factor when recommending this to other people. I was smiling so much. The characters are immediately loveable, especially Morgana, she's a mess and who can't relate to that? The budding friendship between Morgana and Oz was really fun to see, how they learn about each other and that they might have been wrong about their assumptions. This was well balanced with the more intense background plot to do with the warring clans and a mystery is unfolding, I am so excited to see how this will turn out and I will be reading the next book as soon as I can.

Take a accident-prone witch, a lost vampire turned cat, and a coven/clan war, and chaos is guaranteed.

The witches are determined to finally find peace with the rival vampire clan after generations of fighting and invite them over for a first dinner. No magic is allowed, but Morgana can't stand the color of the dress her mother chose for her. When her magic backfires—again—, it doesn't unleash chaos but she does run across someone lurking outside on her way to the dumpster. As her and the vampire, Oz, exchange first greetings as awkwardly as possible, the dinner inside erupts into chaos. Soon, the house is standing in flames, the vampires swear deadly war, and Morgana ends up with a vampire-turned-kitty in her arms. Somehow, everything needs to be fixed, but Morgana is the last witch, who can be expected to achieve that job.

I was expecting quite a bit more romance, and I'm so glad that this aspect didn't hit nearly as strong as it might have. Instead, this read takes on a sweet, funny, and chaotic tone with just a touch of secret agendas to add a dash of mystery...but very slight. The tale concentrates more on Morgana and her inability to control of her magic as she desperately wants to meet expectations and become a good witch. Her super kind personality and willingness to overlook others' negative points, makes her a heroine to root for. She's naive but not stupid and has quite a bit of potential for growth during the series. Oz doesn't come across as strongly in this first volume, which works fine and simply lays the groundwork for more to come on his end. He does add the needed grit to create smile-worthy situations, though.

This is a fun, easy read with quick and even pacing the entire way through. While the tensions between the coven and clan members are obvious, darker moments are held at bay by the lighter humor and quirky situations. The over-the-top personalities of most of the characters is endearing, and yet, it's clear that a couple might not hold the genuine intentions as they appear to have. But this side is only hinted at and, I'm assuming, will carry much more importance as the series continues.

The graphics tend to take darker hues (not always but overall), while the characters...especially Morgana...remain wide-eyed and more open in their style. This fits well with the story's atmosphere, and also allows the hints of darker aspects to maintain present without gaining too much footing against the sillier side. Many scenes also hang toward the individual characters rather than fuller settings and surroundings. This allows the personalities and emotions to shine. When more is needed, the backgrounds are well done, making it easy to slip into every moment.

It's a fun read, and I am looking forward to seeing where it goes from here because there promises to be several unexpected twists and turns...and tons of character growth.

Morgana is a witch who is really just trying to grasp the basics of her magic while her family is planning on entertaining their rival vampire clan. The meeting led by her mother is supposed to help the witches and vampires work together but it might be the start of a war. When Morgana finds herself in the alley next to her house talking to a vampire named Oz a small misunderstanding ends up turning him into a cat. Now Morgana and Oz have to team up to figure out how to turn him back and what is really going on between the witches and the vampires. So excited for the next volume of this story and I a loving the art style

I'm so thrilled we are finally getting a physical edition for this series! I have been reading the series from its debut on webtoon and fell in love immediately when I saw Miyuli's dynamic and colorful art style and stunning character design. Also just the amount of small details in the background's and setting elements bring the story to life and gives a 3D effect where you can almost step right into the world. As for the story, Morgana and Oz is such an impressive debut and the characters and magical system and world are beautify whimsical and unique that I can see myself coming back to it time after time. I'm such a sucker for a height difference in romances where the male lead is shorter so it was an element that drew me in when I first saw the character designs, but the chemistry and dynamic between the two when the story keeps your attention and you are hooked to see what will happen with them next. I can't wait for my preordered copy comes in so I can finally hold the pages in person and read again. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.

This was a cute, fast-paced, and twisty graphic novel. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Morgana is a sweet young woman, a witch who isn't as good at magic as she'd liked to be, and a loving older sister. Oz is a Vampire trying his best, amongst vampires who are trying their best, but aren't afraid to do what they have to to protect their own. There was all the build up of a twist, with a delightful cliffhanger that left me more than excited for Volume 2. It seems there are secrets upon secrets in the town of Winterberry, and more to the simple Vampire vs Witch family rivalry than meets the eye. I can't wait for more!

Witches and Vampires have been at odds for generations. During an important meeting to discuss a treaty between the two families, Morgana, an inexperienced witch, accidentally turns Oz, a vampire, into a cat. We follow Morgana as she tries her best to reverse her spell, and we learn more about the political landscape surrounding them.

It's fun to watch Morgana and Oz interact with eachother! Morgana is so earnest that you can't help but love her, and Oz, though grumpy, grows on her too. It seems that both families genuinely wanted the treaty to go well, but they let their paranoia get to them. I'm curious to learn who the mastermind is and who sabotagued the treaty.

If I could give this a million stars I would. I absolutely adore these characters and this world. I need this to get picked up and turned into an animated tv series. I need to know what happens to these two adorable characters.

I love anything witchy and this is no different. Our main character, Morgana has difficulties with her magic and she accidentally turns Oz, a vampire into a cat.

Vampires and Witches do not get along in this world and tensions amongst them grows by the day especially when a meeting of the two groups goes awry.

I am looking forward to seeing where this story and these characters go from here.

My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this reading experience.

An absolutely beautiful manga! The art is unbelievably stunning and the story is really picking up. Morgana is passionate and kind! Oz is hilarious and I love their dynamic. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

Thank you WEBTOON Unscrolled for a copy of Morgana and Oz Vol 1!

"What happens when a struggling witch meets an angsty vampire? Either love or war."

Cozy fantasy with enemies to lovers trope - reminiscent of Montagues and Capulets?? Sign me up! I enjoyed this and it was the perfect lighthearted, quick read for me! I'm looking forward to the next volumes to see how the story unfolds.

Really promising start to what seems like a hopefully romantic enemies to lovers story! I definitely want to check out the rest of the chapters released! This was cute and silly, while also having an overarching story. I'll definitely be recommending this one!

Morgana and Oz was a whirlwind of a volume one! Right from the get-go, everything you need to know is established, and the action kicks in. The characters are very cute and endearing, and the story itself has me hooked. I wanted more once I'd finished!

Thank you to Netgalley and Webtoon/Wattpad for the e-ARC!

Chaos unfolds after a meeting between the Red Vampire clan and the Winterberry family. Morgana, a struggling witch from a long line of prodigies, and Oz, an angsty vampire, find themselves in each other's company after Morgana accidentally turns Oz into a cat. Will their friendship heal the multi-generational feud? And will they become romantically involved?

I picked this webtoon up last spring on a whim because the artwork looks super cute. I ended up binging what was currently out in day and have been following episode updates ever since.

Morgana and Oz has the classic angsty tough guy and struggling girl looking for self-confidence trope. The family and vampire clan dynamics are really fun, the mystery element is interesting, but I feel like it's going to have a predictable reveal... and the slowburn romance? *Chef's kiss*

Overall, it's a really great Webtoon! Probably one of my top 10, maybe 5! I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes, and I have my eye on physical prints. I really like how they pieced the line Webtoon together to make a cohesive comic book.
