The Classroom of the Black Cat and a Witch

Spica Virginia desperately wants to learn magic, but her complete lack of natural talent stands in her way. Things change when she runs into Claude—a top-tier wizard stuck in the body of a talking black cat after a bad spell. Claude needs a way back to his old life, so he agrees to secretly tutor Spica. Together, they have to survive the tough exams at Diana Royal Academy without anyone finding out about their strange arrangement. It is a light, fun magic-school story built on great banter and steady growth. Watching an underdog actually put in the work and succeed makes every small win feel deserved. If you enjoy cozy fantasy, clever spell ideas, and solid teamwork, it's a really easy, enjoyable read.
