Dark Fantasy Manga ‘The Witch and the Beast’ Inspires Anime

Searching for a twisted fairytale with witches, beasts, and mysterious creatures? Then look no further because ‘The Witch and the Beast’ is the one for you.

In this one, the roles have been reversed as witches are the villains and beasts are the saviors. Guideau is a girl with fangs and a beast’s eyes, and Asaph is a soft-spoken mysterious man carrying a coffin on his back.

These two not-so-human entities are pursuing a wicked witch who has successfully made the townsfolk believe she’s their hero.

If you’re not a manga reader, then no need to worry about missing out as ‘The Witch and the Beast’ is receiving an anime adaptation.

I don’t think enough can be said about Guideau and Asaph, but I’ll accidentally spill some major spoilers if I keep talking about them. So let’s move on to the ‘hero’ witch instead.

Ione, the witch, is far from being a hero. She harbors malicious intentions that are fueled by revenge. What’s worse is that she also manipulates an innocent girl Marie to help her in her plans and later betrays her trust too.

Guideau and Asaph intend to hunt down Ione before she can inflict irreversible damage on the town and eventually the world.

Not much has been revealed about the anime adaptation, like its premiere, cast, staff, and more. They’re yet to finalize those decisions, and we might get some information by next month.

Until then, we can wait patiently and hope for the first look as a visual or teaser.
