Reception
Anime News Network gave the first volume an overall C grade, noting that the conflict that Alice should not fall in love, because it will cause her to lose her magic "feels more like a shortcut to the girls' relationship than an actual plot device."[10] Anime UK News felt similarly, summarising that "A Witch's Love at the End of the World has the right ingredients for a magical yuri love spell, but overall, it's a quick but disappointing read."[11]
