is a Japanese manga series written by Osamu Nishi and illustrated by Shiro Usazaki. It began serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in September 2024.
The series takes place in a world where monsters composed of magic called Majiks exist. Specialized hunters called Witches can obtain magic from them after performing a trial, but it is thought only women can become witches. A young boy called Ichi, who lives in Druid Mountain and hunts for a living, defeats a Majik, and ends up being the first male witch.
Written by Osamu Nishi and illustrated by Shiro Usazaki, the series began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Jump on September 9, 2024.[1] It is Usazaki's first major work since her previous work, Act-Age, was canceled due to its writer getting arrested.[2]
Viz Media and Manga Plus are publishing the series in English simultaneously with its Japanese release.[3]
Nick Valdez of ComicBook.com described the first chapter of Ichi the Witch as the "strongest the magazine has seen since the likes of Kagurabachi", and said "it could be the next big thing".[4] Joshua Fox of Screen Rant praised the worldbuilding, artwork, and protagonist of the story.[5]
