The Black Magic Witch's Little Puppet

Tasha is the world's most notorious dark mage.

She travels through the heartlands of every race, taking research subjects whenever she pleases.

Like the famous light mages, she lives in a luxurious mansion in the imperial capital, but spends her days committing crimes against society.

Humans and other races alike hate her with a passion.

But no one can deal with her. Not even anyone has ever seen what she looks like.

She is the most mysterious and powerful mage in the world.

Until recently, when the evil Tasha posted a recruitment notice.

She needs several young, strong male test subjects.

It's said that if her experiment succeeds, she will be able to make all men utterly weak with a mere flick of her finger.

Every race curses her as vile and shameless, even as they busily select the right candidates.

They need this unprecedented opportunity to get close to Tasha and kill her!

The twin heroes who slew the Demon King, the elven knight who cut a path through the dragons, the merfolk crown prince who rules the seas:

They have prepared every sort of plan and concealed lethal tools on their persons as they knock on the evil dark mage's door...

But no one told them she was researching "shrink magic"!

How are tiny figurines, finger puppets, and plush dolls supposed to kill the world's most powerful mage?!

And besides...

The dark mage isn't nearly as hateful as the rumors say.

She's actually...

A little cold, a little cruel, but unbearably cute.
