About Madan no Ichi (Ichi the Witch)

Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since Issue 41 (released September 9, 2024), Madan no Ichi is a high-stakes hunting fantasy. In this world, magic exists as living beings. Those who conquer trials to acquire these magical creatures are called witches.

The story begins with a ferocious battle between the King's magic and the most powerful witch deep in the mountains. Suddenly, a boy named Ichi, a hunter with no ties to witches or magic, crashes into the scene—an event that turns the world’s logic upside down.

While hiding his human identity, Iruma navigates thrilling school life, forming friendships with quirky demons and pursuing an unexpected path toward becoming the next Demon King.

With over 18 million copies sold, Osamu Nishi’s school fantasy continues to captivate fans worldwide.
