Kousuke Satake’s The Witch and the Beast manga—known as Majo to Yojuu in Japan—is officially getting an anime adaptation. The announcement came from the official Twitter feed of editor Kousuke Satake, who works at the manga’s home periodical, Young Magazine.
We’ll have to wait for further details, but for now anyone interested in the manga can get ready to eventually see it on the screen!
Kodansha USA publishes the manga in English and sums up the story like so:
Ashaf: a soft-spoken man with delicate features, a coffin strapped to his back, and an entourage of black crows. Guideau: a feral, violent girl with long fangs and the eyes of a beast. This ominous pair appear one day in a town in thrall to a witch — a ruler with magic coursing through her tattooed body, who has convinced the townsfolk she’s their hero. But Ashaf and Guideau know better. They live by one creed: “Wherever a witch goes, only curses and disasters follow.” They have scores to settle, and they won’t hesitate to remove anyone in their way, be it angry mob or army garrison.
