The Witch and the Beast, Vol. 1 by Kousuke Satake
3.0
'The Witch and the Beast, Vol. 1' by Kousuke Satake is a manga about witches and the supernatural beings hired to kill them.
Guidreau is a feral girl with fangs and a serious thirst for killing witches. Her partner Ashaf has a coffin strapped to his back and will take any job involving magic. The story starts with them convincing a village the the witch they see as a hero has actually enthralled them for her safety.
I like the idea of this series and the main characters seem really cool. I had a bit of a hard time getting in to the story as it just kind of dumps the reader right in the middle, but by the end, I was on board. The art is gothic and creepy.
I received a review copy of this manga from Kodansha Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review manga.
