Translation
2025’s Ichi the Witch, Volume 1 is the first tankōbon for Osamu NIchi and Shiro Usazaki’s Ichi the Witch secondary-universe fantasy manga. Ichi has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since September 2024. The 2026 English translation of Volume 1 is by Adrienne Beck.
The path to magic is as easy as falling off a log. First, one must be an ambitious woman or girl. Second, one must seek out Majiks, living embodiments of arcane power. Third, one must complete an arduous trial. Success confers the Majik’s particular knack on the witch.
Ichi is not a woman, is content with his lot, and has no particular interest in or knowledge of magic. Ichi lives to hunt.
