Based on a novel by Eiko Kadono, a young witch, on her mandatory year of independent life, finds fitting into a new community difficult while she supports herself by running an air courier service.

(Production 1987-89 -> Release Date 290789, Budget 6.9 US Mils -> Box Office 18 US Mils, Duration 1 hr 43 mnts, Genre - Animation, Adventure, Drama, Classic Fiction)[/b]

+ A very grounded background story of a young girl gaining her independence and what comes of it, masked masterfully by a simple story of a witch and its traditions in a new progressive world
+ Beautifully drawn and animated scenery and background that is based on northern European district with gorgeous and colourful characters that is brought up to life even with tiniest minute details
+/- A rather more serious reinterpretation of the lighter novel that leans towards more real-life situations rather than her possible delightful adventures
