Hold onto your wands, manga maniacs! Shonen Jump just pulled a rabbit out of its hat with “Madan no Ichi”(Ichi the Witch), a fresh series that’s got fans buzzing louder than a swarm of magical bees. Penned by the wickedly talented Nishi Osamu and illustrated by the visual virtuoso Shiro Usazaki, this magical mystery tour is about to take you on a wild ride through a world where witches rule and Majik is a girls-only club. Buckle up, buttercup!
Nishi Osamu Delivers a Powerful Plotline
In Madan no Ichi, Nishi Osamu cooks up a world where the ladies are running a magical show. But wait, what’s this? Our hero Ichi, a plucky young lad, is about to crash the witches’ party harder than a bull in a china shop. Talk about flipping the script!

Chapter one throws us into the deep end with Uroro, a magical big shot who’s basically saying, “Come at me, witches!” Plot twist: only dudes can take his challenge. Enter Ichi, armed with nothing but guts and a killer pit trap idea. Spoiler alert: Uroro goes down harder than a lead balloon, and suddenly the magical world is shaken. It’s Nishi Osamu‘s trademark cocktail of action, suspense, and “stick it to the man” (or in this case, “stick it to the witch”) attitude.
New Witch Hunter Fantasy "Ichi The Witch" by "Act-Age" artist Shiro Usazaki & "Mairimashita Iruma-kun" creator Nishi Osamu started in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 41/2024!

Shiro Usazaki’s Masterful Art Brings the Magic
After a breather that felt longer than a wizard’s beard, Shiro Usazaki is back and painting pages prettier than a unicorn’s daydream. Her art in Madan no Ichi isn’t just eye candy โ it’s a full-on visual feast that’ll have your peepers doing happy dances.
From Desscaras the witch (who looks like she could out-glare Medusa) to the menacing Uroro, Usazaki’s pencil is mightier than any wand. Every magical zap and character eye-roll is rendered with more detail than a goblin’s tax return.
Shonen Jump New Spell in the Spellbook
Madan no Ichi isn’t just another notch in Shonen Jump‘s belt โ it’s a whole new pair of magical pants. While most Jump series are busy with friendship speeches and power-ups, Nishi Osamu‘s brainchild is mixing high fantasy with gender-bending magical shenanigans.
A male lead in a witch’s world? That’s as rare as a dragon in a china shop. Shonen Jump‘s bet on this dynamic duo shows they’ve got more faith in them than a cleric has in their deity.
Crystal Ball Say: Madan no Ichi Future’s So Bright, We Gotta Wear Shades
Chapter one of Madan no Ichi is just the appetizer in what promises to be a seven-course meal of magical mayhem. Nishi Osamu‘s plot twists and Shiro Usazaki‘s eye-popping art are a combo more potent than a love potion on Valentine’s Day.
As we follow Ichi’s journey, expect more jaw-drops than a dentist’s waiting room and action sequences that’ll leave you more breathless than a marathon-running mermaid.
So, if you haven’t snagged Madan no Ichi yet, what are you waiting for? An owl to deliver your invitation? Dive into this magical new world faster than you can say “Abracadabra”! Trust us, it’s gonna be more addictive than wizard candy โ and twice as sweet!
