The Witch and the Beast Manga

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.

This is such a good read, it's more complex than I had originally thought. The plot reminds me a lot of Dorohedoro, with a mystical being needing to find a specific witch to break a curse but not remembering their face. Although unlike Kaiman's way of identification, Guideau's is more amicabe to say the least. The art is also pretty good, the fashion is well thought out and each character is well executed. My only thing is that this artist is soooo good at drawing angled shots of conversation and yet, not as good at doing just head on perspectives. The faces end up too small for the heads, it's hard to explain but it only happens every so ofen. All in all it's still a good read and I highly recommend it.

Amazing character dynamic and a stunning world on top of it.This is a hidden gem i would recommend to anyone who love great art panels and superb character interaction.
