I Quit My Apprenticeship as a Royal Court Wizard to Become a Magic Item Craftswoman (Manga) Vol. 5

An enchanting fantasy manga based on the light novel series follows Illya, a talented apprentice who forges a pact with Berial, the king of Hell, and discovers a talent for magic item crafting. In Volume 5, Sei Kamiizumi's writing and EDO's art deliver a sharp look at Illya's evolving powers as she trains for an elite royal court apprenticeship, only to find the court's intrigues wearier than the spellwork itself. As Illya’s education accelerates, she grows increasingly disillusioned with nobles' machinations and the high wizard's scheming. Her bold choice—resigning from her post and leaving the country—opens a path toward a new calling: crafting magical items. Kyoka Hatori's contributions help depict the clash between tradition and independence, and the fantasy world remains vivid and propulsive. Will Illya discover a destiny that suits her free-spirited talents and adventurous heart?
