Witch Hunter

Type: Manga

Status: Ongoing

Premise: In the last war witches attacked humanity in an attempt to put the entire world under their control, but thanks to several humans with extremely powerful spiritual abilities humanity was able to hold on and eventually defeat the united strength of the witches, these saviors of humanity were dubbed Witch Hunters. Years after the great war the WH is now an extremely influential group of individuals that search out and destroy any witches that threaten humanity along with several witches of similar mind to their own. Tasha Godspell is an elite Witch Hunter being unique due to the fact that he is the only male who displays the ability to produce mana and by extension use magic, along with his supporter (Familiar?) Halloween (another seemingly female/witch ability) he fights witches but can't bring himself to hate them.

Thoughts: This story is an interesting mix of classic fantasy witches, Arthurian legend (ie. Merlin, Lancelot, Mordred, etc.) and good old fashioned manga action. The plot is well thought out and keeps a sense of mystery which drives you to read more.

Prose: Great plot (especially the Arthurian twist), well thought out setting in regards to witches and powers and true to classic mythology regarding witches and the lore that surrounds them.

Cons: The other Witch Hunters are actually rather annoying as far as characters go, and at one point we have 3 identical twins named Lee, Yue and Xing and for a period of time they switch names..... those were some confusing chapters.

-Notes: I should read up on Arthurian legends.......

8.5/10          (What improved familiar should have been.)
