On her seventeenth birthday, the apprentice witch Meg learns that she only has one year left to live. Her teacher, the long-lived witch Faust, explains that the only way to undo the death curse is to collect tears of joy and grow the seed of life. To find them, Meg will have to leave the sheltered life she’s always known and head out into the world. There will be meetings, partings, and friendships aplenty, and of course many tears. Meg will learn the most important lessons for a witch are bright, sweet, and somewhat heart wrenching.

Oh wow, wasn’t expecting this to get an anime! Then again, it would explain why Yen licensed the light novels

Considering, that many light novels feel endless, having one with a built in time limit sounds kind of appealing.
Of course, she still could solve her problems in like 2 books and keeps on power scaling for all eternity l, but at least it’s likely that it has a certain focus other stories lack.
(LN readers does it stay focused on this plot around her dying in a year?)

This is apparently a fantasy story that takes place in modern times (like for example Burn the Witch), since I happened to spot [a smartphone and car](https://imgur.com/a/CCgQgyu) in the PV.
