Episode Details

Ichi is a orphaned hunter who lives his life by one motto: Death for Death: he only hunts creatures that seek to harm humans and come at him with the intent to kill. Which is why when he stumbles upon a battle between the world's most powerful witch, Desscaras, and the King of Majik, Uroro, he throws himself into the fray! 

But in this world, magic can only be controlled by women, and is not learned by earned by overcoming the trial of majiks: wild, animal-like forces that form the basis of a witch's power. Somehow, Ichi is the rare exception and becomes the world's first male witch! When Desscaras offers him the chance to hunt more majiks, of course he jumps at the chance! But what will the world make of it's first male witch?

This week Mat chats with Undisputed Anime's Zane Reid to discuss Ichi The Witch by Osamu Nishi and Shiro Usazaki. Join us as we get into the world's interesting magic system, discuss how it mixes shoujo magical girl tropes with shonen battle manga and speculate on it's place in this golden age of fantasy manga!
