Burn the Witch review

Tite Kubo's brand new work after his mega-hit series — Bleach, is quite a story.

[Story 7/10]

After reading the One-Shot, I didn't have much hope about the story as I didn't understand most of it. While I had mixed feelings, I still went ahead and gave it a try. And guess what? It was better. While these 4 chapters are like a short arc of a manga, it still is enjoyable. There are dragons, witches, Kidos/spells, and Pipes too (which Kubo refers to as something witches blow). Hilarious.

One may not find it interesting as first, but after reading it all, they'll surely likely to read more of it as the story takes an interesting turn.

[Art 8/10]

A common interpretation of Kubo's artwork is the lack of backgrounds as seen in his previous work, Bleach. But in this manga, there are a lot of them, which I personally believe to be interesting for the story. The character designs are similar to Bleach Characters but most of them are Original.

[Character 7/10]

The main characters — Noel, Ninny, and Balgo are an interesting bunch of folks. The story so far basically revolves around them as each of them have their own set of powers. On the other hand, a few other notable characters have been shown but so far, they haven't made any impactful presence in this season 1. I believe we'll get to see more of them in Season 2 if there is a proper serialization and not another mini-arc.

[Enjoyment 6/10]

The reason I gave it 6, is mainly because this is a short manga. There is scope for many improvements and a great story ahead. One might enjoy this arc but will surely crave for more in the end. The main thing I found enjoyable was that it was set in London.

[Overall 7/10]

The overall deserves to be 7 points as Kubo has brought out a very interesting story regarding witches and dragons. Everyone has their own potential and if handled properly, this can become a new mega-hit series. What makes me say this is the fact that there are new character designs and so many revelations can be done.

If you want to try this story but are not sure, then I suggest you please do give it a try. I'm not sure if you'll enjoy it but I do can say that you'll like it a lot. Oh, and of course, please do read the One-Shot before starting this as the story initially seems to continue after it ends.
