The storyline is solid and intriguing and I found myself thoroughly entertained by Kousuke Satake's art and story balance. Fans of fantasy and military/detective manga will probably enjoy "The Witch and the Beast".

Ashaf and Guideau are members/employees of the "Order of Magical Resonance" a group that it works "By Magic, for Magic and of Magic".

Most of the manga plays off the fairytale ideas of witches and its primary goal in this first volume, apart from introducing the protagonists, is to establish that while Magic plays a huge part of this world, not everyone can weld it even if they are affected by Magic. There is a fine line drawn between the uses of Magic in a militarised sense and the struggles of those who come into contact with it especially in the form of witches.

As this is only the first volume of "The Witch and the Beast" I did come out with lots more questions than answers. However, I am looking forward to seeing how this world expands and am crossing my fingers for an anime because this is a manga I see translating well into animated form.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for allowing me to read a review copy of "The Witch and the Beast" all opinions stated are my own.

An action packed story filled with amazing artwork and a girl hell bent on revenge and killing witches. I absolutely had a blast reading this! The story is compelling and I can’t wait to see what comes next in the plot. The magic is awesome and it just.. ITS A MUST READ!!!

*thank you netgalley and Kodansha Comics for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

This is my first ever Manga that I've read.

I liked the premise of the story. It was entertaining and it had me engrossed from beginning to end.

The diagrams are black and white but there's so much detail in them that it just catches the eye.

It was a quick read and im happy its now serialized rather than a one shot.

I recieved an e-arc of this from netgalley for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved the art style of this, it was really pretty and well done. The fight scenes were entertaining and the plot was flowing with each chapter.

I liked our main characters, Guideau, who is a sparky, fight first ask questions later (if ever), and Ashaf, who seems to be the level headed person who keeps Guideau in check. Their relationship and banter are good and I enjoyed reading about them.

I'm excited to see where the story goes in the next book!
