Someday's Dreamers 1

This story presents a different spin on the classic country girl goes to school in the big city that is popular with mangas. The main character, Yumi, is a teenage 'magic user,' a special group of people who are born with various kinds of magical powers. In this era, they are required to take certification training before using their magic abilities for hire. High on passion and short on self control, Yumi wants to help people attain their wishes and follow in her mother's footsteps. The first volume introduces Yumi, her surprisingly young male instructor and various clients that she tries to help, with various degrees of success. Her attempt to help a stranger who saved her from an accident leads to her first big error when she 'manufactures' a large sum of cash with her magic!

The art is delicate, the humor is understated and the plot is engaging. For a change, there is almost no nudity, e.g., bath scenes, that some writers believe is required, regardless of the story. The book and anime series follow close together and both are enjoyable.
