Burn the Witch! This is the Manga for Those Who Love Alternate World Fantasy

The story is set in London in the modern world.

From the distant past, 72% of the cause of death in London, have been thought to be related with the existence of the heteromorphic creature called “Dragon”. The Dragons have been threatening to humans. To protect themselves, people need to manage them.

However, all the citizens in London, called Front London, are not able to see the Dragons. Those who are capable of seeing them are the people who live in the alternate world, called Reverse London, which is located in the other side of London, which automatically requires them to protect and manage the Dragons.

Even though everybody living in Reverse London is able to see the Dragons, there is a definite rule set when it comes to getting involved with the Dragons. It’s that “the citizen can never touch the ‘Dragons’.” However, the qualified people called “Witch” and “Wizard”, who belong to the Dragon Management Office, “Wing Bind”, who also have passed the exam, can directly touch the dragons.

If anybody breaks this rule, they will be in prison for 100 years or be executed.

The main protagonists of the story, Niihashi Noel and Ninny Spancole are the Witches, who belong to the Department of the Wind Bind, called Pipers Flute Squad, where they get the fiber, mineral and medicine from the Dragons, called Bipers.

Both Noel and Ninny work hard as a Witch. Noel especially works to get paid, while Ninny wants to play an active role in the Department called Sabers Tactical Squad, where they ruin the Dragons who harm people.

In the one-shot version, you can see the story about a student who is Noel’s senior and a citizen of Front London, named Balgo, and his dog, Osushi chan and Balgo’s childhood friend, Selby, Neol, Ninny and Dragons. And in the serialized version, you can see a new story that continues from the one-shot version.

As for Kubo-Sensei’s previous work, “BLEACH”, the story was developed in the two adjacent worlds; a Japan’s present city, Karakura Chou and a posthumous world, Soul Society.

As for this title, “Burn the Witch”, the story was also set in the two different worlds; Front London and Reverse London, with a focus on the heteromorphic creature, “Dragon” with each character being involved.

I bet many of you have worried if you can catch up with the whole episodes when you try to start reading a serialized series, published in a weekly magazine……

As I mentioned above, this title started to be serialized as episode zero of a one-shot chapter “Burn the Witch” in Weekly Shonen Jump only for four weeks, starting from No.38 in 2020.
