"D.Gray-man" author Katsura Hoshino gives recommendation for "Ichi the Witch"

The latest volume 3 of the manga "Maou Ichi the Witch ", written by Nishi Osamu, known for the manga " Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun -kun", and illustrated by Usazaki Shiro, will be released on June 4th. Manga artist Hoshino Katsura, known for the popular manga "D.Gray-man", has provided a recommendation comment.

Hoshino was "shocked" and said, "What am I witnessing...? Am I seeing magic? Or a hunt? I don't know, but this might be the first time I've seen a protagonist that gives me such pure chills...!" She went on to describe the film's appeal, saying, "It's a battle between mysterious creatures (in my personal opinion). If you want a thrill, then get hunted. Death Crow's funny faces are so cute, it's hilarious!"

" Ichi the Witch" was featured on the cover and in the opening color pages of the 27th issue of the serialized magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha), which went on sale on June 2nd. A special offer of an acrylic keychain and badge set of the work will be given to all applicants, limited to regular subscribers of the digital version of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

"Ichi the Witch" began serialization in "Weekly Shonen Jump" in September 2024. Set in a world where there are hunters called "witches" who hunt living creatures and learn their magic, the story is about a hunter who lives in the mountains and has no connection to witches or magic, who overturns the common sense of the world.
