When I saw the Grand Duchess send an arrow through the throat of that guy, I thought they were going to girlboss together over getting rid of useless men.

I like this " conservation of energy" type magic system. It's pretty much more interesting than the whole meet-cute story itself. When she said " are you trying to catch a witch and feed her?", it almost felt like witches were a different species.
Don't get me wrong, I like the gender bendery stuff. But we almost had a full T4T romance... we were THIS CLOSE to greatness.
If I think maybe Laurence and Lysia can work out? He's a bit of a yandere but there are plenty of manga on this site with yasdere protags.
