"You'll die in a year, because of the curse." "huh?" Her seventeenth birthday. Apprentice witch Megu receives her life expectancy from her teacher, the long-time witch Faust.

Encounters, farewells, friendships, affections-and tears. After she receives a lot of thoughts and swears her promise, Megu learns what is important as a witch and realizes what her teacher is trying to bestow on her. "I haven't been able to give back to my teacher at all. So, yet--" A bright, entertaining and a little painful story sent by a witch's teacher and pupil.
