A shoujo fantasy that brings readers into the magical world of nail art.

"I'm going to become this world's first decorated nail artist!"

In a foreign land where nail polish acts as a magical conduit, Saara aspires to create pretty and powerful decorated nail art! Unfortunately for Saara, she lacks both the magical ability ad the know-how to paint anything other than useless party tricks. Even her best customer, Rocco -- a beautiful wizard with a mean streak (and an even meaner apprentice) -- can barely summon a spark from the cutesy nails Saara creates for him!

Rather than be discouraged, Saara determines to improve her abilities and surpass even her benefactor, the grouchy goblin Master Reed! But as a woefully average, utterly unexceptional protagonist, Saara has a long way to go --and a lot of nails to paint -- before she'll ever stand a chance at greatness.

For now, she's just an average girl working as a below-average nail artist in a fantasy world!

Frequently asked questions

You’ve asked, we answered.

Visit FAQ Page

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free shipping on all orders over $75.

As a small, growing shop, we partner with trusted distributors to ship books directly to you. This allows us to offer a much wider selection while we build toward our first physical space.

We also use tiered shipping, which means the more you add to your cart, the lower the shipping cost per book becomes. So that means, even if you’re not quite at $75 yet, it often makes sense to grab one more volume and save overall.

Why shop with you instead of big retailers?

Every order supports a small, Latina-owned manga shop built by real fans who care deeply about the stories, the art, and the culture around it.

We curate with intention, not algorithms, and we’re building something bigger than a storefront: a space for collectors, readers, and fans to connect.

What is your return policy?

Because of how we currently fulfill orders, we’re not able to accept general returns at this time.

The only exception is if your order arrives damaged or incorrect. If you experience either, please reach out to us at casitademanga@gmail.com
and we’ll be more than happy to personally help you with a damage/error return.

Can I cancel or change my order?

We move quickly to get your order on its way.

If you need to make a change, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to catch it before it ships. Once it’s on the way, we’re unable to modify the order.
