This is a fantasy story that was written right.
All characters are well made, believable and understandable. The battles aren't very detailed, but they are easy to read and even more important: fun to read. The world isn't much different to what you expect for this kind of story but the different perspective of the main characters makes it more refreshing.

It adds a unique tension and depth to the relationship that feels both compelling and believable.
All in all, Majo to Youhei is ...

I am very suprised this doesn't have the recognition of other fantasies like Frieren or Witch Hat Atelier. The story is absolutely incredible.
Simple premise of course, strong burley type who protects a witch outcasts, it also reminded me a lot of Unnamed Memory, only it's actually good. Firstly is the pacing. They don't beat around the bush with each event, bounty-rescue-bodyguard-adventuring-exploring.
