Manga Thoughts: Little Witch Academia 1

I liked the "magical school" anime series Little Witch Academia enough that when I heard the manga based on it was being licensed over here, I took some interest in that spinoff as well. This might have had something to do with the anime's "streaming on Netflix" situation adding to some personal uncertainty about whether it'll ever be available for sale on disc here, though (short of the conspicuous consumption of importing from Japan, of course). I'm a bit prone to repeating a stock potential criticism of "manga based on anime," and might have thought a bit about "rolling the dice" again.
