I usually dislike the stuttering stereotype of a shy girl, but something about Monica endeared me to her. This is just an observation of mine, but Monica does feel like someone with social anxiety, and not just for the reason to be cute either. This can be seen with her wanting to socialize, but couldn't, like her scene with Lana, in which she overthinks to drive it home. I really like how the story is going, not only with the mystery that we slowly get to know, with the Prince's problem, but we also see Monica slowly growing.
We got introduced to many of the key character's in the story along with what makes Monica so good at magic. The schtick with Louis is hilarious and gets me every time!
The constant internal screaming is so me. The writing balances her god-tier magic and crippling anxiety with such light, cozy humour. The clean animation, especially those meme-worthy panic faces, really hits the spot. The quick pace keeps things moving perfectly.
