Rakudai Majo: Fuuka to Yami no Majo
Fuuka is a loveable but clumsy apprentice witch and princess of the Silver Castle who, unlike her classmates, still needs some practice with her beginner spells. Despite her lack of natural majesty, she aspires to be just like her mother, the Silver Queen, the legendary master of all things magic. When she accidentally breaks the seal of darkness and is transported to a spooky amusement park, nervous Fuuka must complete a series of tests to defeat an evil witch. Luckily for Fuuka, childhood friends Karin, gentle princess of the Green Castle, and cheeky Chitose, prince of the Blue Castle, are there to help. But in the face of danger, hot-headed Chitose and stubborn Fuuka can't seem to keep it together. It's up to patient Karin to find a path to harmony so the trio can go from clumsy to clever.
