Hobgoblin: Majo to Futari

Deep within a secluded forest, far from the prying eyes of civilization, dwells a small hobgoblin named Pauline. As a fairy of the hearth, her existence is one of quiet domesticity, sharing a modest cottage with Baba, an aging witch whose sharp tongue and frequent scoldings are as much a part of daily life as the crackling fireplace. Though their relationship is strained by Baba's irritable demeanor, the two have formed an unlikely, if turbulent, household bound by the rhythms of the woods. That fragile routine is shattered when word arrives from a distant kingdom, carrying a desperate plea. A mysterious affliction—spoken of only in hushed whispers as a "curse"—has befallen the realm's princess, leaving the royal court baffled and fearful. With no answers to be found among the kingdom's scholars or mages, the search for a solution leads them to the very edge of the forest where Pauline and Baba reside. As the outside world comes knocking, the pair find themselves thrust into a mystery far greater than their simple life, forcing them to confront not only the enigma of the princess's ailment but also the precarious magic that binds their own home together.
