Meg Raspberry, an apprentice witch who has just turned 17, is suddenly informed by her mentor, Faust, one of the Seven Sages of the magical world, that she has only one year to live. But Meg was cursed with the “prophecy of death.” There is only one way to avoid death caused by the curse: create the “Seed of Life”, which grants immortality to whoever possesses it. Therefore, to create this seed, tears of joy are needed—the tears shed when someone is truly happy. “So how many tears do I need to collect?” “Of a thousand people.” "…What?"
