A Little Better, Still Low on Characterisation

The biggest draw for this is that it's a cute manga with witches and sweet moments. However, if someone were to ask me about these characters and their relationships to each other, it'd all be very flat.

Seriously, I'd be writing sentences like "Makoto is a teenage witch in high school. She's friendly and prone to getting lost. Her cousin Chinatsu... wants to be a witch and is curious?" while trying to describe it. It really is pretty low on the characterisation and the overarching story (if there is one—this seems very slice-of-life... and that's fine, but it's not my personal favourite).
