The Witch and the Beast, Vol. 1 by Kousuke Satake
4.0
Dark magic.
Witches.
Political unrest.
I absolutely fell in love with this series. Firstly, let's acknowledge the amazing artwork. My breath catches with each new volume. The art design creates a unique world that you easily delve into, and the character design tells you so much about the personality of each protagonist and antagonist.
The tale follows Guideau, a tempestuous character not living in their own skin, and Ashaf, a mysterious mage with many secrets yet to be told. The duo works as contractors for an independent magical body The Order of Magical Resonance. The core plot centers around a witch hunt that are packed with supernatural action, all while exploring the themes of identity and belonging through well-written tropes.
My new obsession for 2023 is this series, and I devoured all currently released volumes as quickly as I possibly could!
