Fantasy action series Ichi the Witch is having its North American debut with the release of its first volume next month.

“Ichi is a reclusive hunter who knows nothing of Witches and Majiks, but he does have a particular obsession for hunting anything that exudes bloodlust. When that instinct leads him to interfere in a battle between the great Witch Desscaras and the horrifying King Majik Uroro, against all odds, he acquires the destructive magic of Uroro, making him the only male Witch in the entire world! And not even Desscaras herself is prepared for the absolute headache that wild child Ichi is about to give her.”

Ichi the Witch is an action-adventure fantasy series written by Osamu Nishi and illustrated by Shiro Usazaki, and published in Shonen Jump. Set in a world where female hunters can absorb the power of dangerous, monstrous creatures, this belief is challenged when a young man named Ichi discovers he is a male witch.

Ichi the Witch volume 1 will be released on February 3, 2026. Learn where you can pre-order your copy on Viz.com, or check your local bookshop.
