The task expected: hunt

The task assigned: slay

That wasn’t in his contract

Found out that in the book version of the manga in chapter 238 there is a page, that’s not in the online version.

Just needed to share this <3

I suggest to change the title into "Ichi the random dumb kid (male)".

[fuyu-mayoi]

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Ichi the Witch all day for one specific reason:

I have no idea how the title could have been better translated

The Japanese title is Madan no Ichi (魔男のイチ), where Madan is a clear play on Majo (魔女), which effectively translates to "magic woman." This makes Madan "magic man," which as far as I can find isn't a word in Japanese at all

The intention is obviously that Ichi is a male witch, but there is no term for male witch in English that quite captures how unheard of this concept is in context. We could call him a warlock or a wizard, but if the idea is that men can't use magic at all, then having those terms doesn't make sense in the first place, they're contextually impossible

We could call him "witch boy" or "witch man," but that's inelegant at best and just kinda stupid at worst. You can't call him a "Witcher," cus that's copyrighted. You could use the original Old English term for witch, wicce, and go with the masculine wicca, but calling the series Ichi the Wicca both carries a lot of strong religious connotations and still fails to capture the feeling of uniqueness within the setting

The funniest thing about this line of thought, though, is that you just know there was a point where the translator was sitting at their desk, head in hands, surrounded by crumpled-up papers on the floor that all had the word "MANWITCH" scribbled over in red ink a thousand times

Ichi the witch - Chapter 1

I judge the start as mid. Overall it has potential.

The premise gives me the Magi vibes. The concept of acquiring a Majik through a quest, it reminds me a lot of the Dungeon system. Also the little comedy interlude here and there, the funny faces. The world building is steady, there's room for expansion and exploration. The design of the witches looks intriguing.

It is a priority for me to get to know better the main character's personality. Right now, I'm not particularly fond of Ichi. While, for comparison, I got immedialtely attached to Aladdin or Tanjiro. The climax was built on comedy, which was a pity, I prefer darker tones. Ichi's childhood left an impression more than the battle with Uroro.

I'm the n.1 Magi anime hater (manga>>>>) but Kana Hanazawa on Koguyoku? Still gives me goosebumps.

"Lord Mundok, look after these two"

Watch Mundok, Hak's adoptive grandfather and Suwon's paternal figure, die to protect his kids within 3 chapters.

A little note

Not only Suwon freed himself from his armor.

He also got rid of his sword, and the author focused twice on this detail.
