Shitsuren-dō ~Majo e no Oshi harai wa, Ushinatta Koi de
失恋堂~魔女へのお支払いは、失った恋で
In a royal academy, there exists a mysterious place called the "Heartbreak Shop" (失恋堂). Run by a strange witch and her familiar, a black cat, the shop grants wishes in exchange for the fragments of a shattered heart. The story is an omnibus that follows various noble young ladies whose engagements or relationships have been broken. After being betrayed, they bring their "lost love" to the witch to make a wish, finding new dreams and hopes while the foolish men who abandoned them are left to regret their choices. A central mystery unfolds as a particular young woman seems to be the trigger for multiple broken engagements.

Ooh this is good! I like that the stories feel like their own but aren’t short like a one shot. Also them being connected is nice too, good stuff.
Great twist on the trope. The retro art style is also very cute. All the characters are memorably designed, no same face syndrome here.
An enjoyable twist on these broken engagement stories. I like how fast we sped through the third person's meeting with the witch.
All the men that dumped their girlfriends/fiancees in this series are definitely going to face karma in so many satisfying ways
Love this story so far! But I hope they switch the next haleartbroken soul with a man (a good decent man). It'd be a nice change of pace!
The antagonist is a woman and she’s only going after the men. Unless there’s a possibility that she takes advantage of a naive woman that ignores the warnings of her fiancé, which leads to their engagement getting annulled as well
this is getting better and better. i really want to know what's up with the one girl though who remains a question.... she seems like a typical isekai person who thinks she's in a game or something....
I really like this. And what is the plan for the lady breaking up all the engagements? She's really quite interesting to me because I'm not even sure she's a villain exactly.
This is so interesting!
The guy's family runs a patisserie, but he scoffs at the idea of making food look good?
Sophia x Leo ❤️
There are two couples left before we get to the scene at the beginning of the story and we learn what was Lucy's real goal.
i love this so much. totally worth paying for the chapters
Ya, for someone aspiring to be the next Prime Minister he was always incredibly shitty at everything related to politics because he was constantly and openly rude to people he should have been making into allies (his fiancees and by extension their families, the prince's fiancee, and now even foreign royalty). It really seemed like his only qualification was his dad.
Well done Sophia, glad she spoke her mind. I have no sympathy for Hugo.
Seems that Lucy is targeting one particular person, most likely the prince since she breaks ties with her male friends and they get bad endings for being arrogant and unfaithful.
wait is lucy...the witch?
I know its necessary for the story, but it feels lame that she even had any affection the witch would consider "love" for that worthless man.
I'm predicting Lucy made some deal about being loved, and now its making all these guys infatuated with her even if she doesn't really want it.
