A RESURRECTION
After a routine job, Ashaf and Guideau have a run-in with a berserk “undead”—a deceased human being restored to life through the art of necromancy. Though the state strictly regulates the practice, these aberrant cases have only been growing in number. Out of his depth, Ashaf recommends necromancy expert Phanora and her assistant Johan instead, though the pair is as much a mystery as the one they intend to solve…
Series Overview: 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.
A dark fairytale set in a steampunk world of magic and monsters, The Witch and the Beast will entice and entrap manga readers looking for their next fantasy action fix!
