The Witch and the Beast manga was first released in 2017 and quickly gained a fanbase because of its dark fantasy elements and haunting narrative. The story focuses on the characters Ashaf and Guideau, who must unite to stop a witch from taking control of a town.

Guideau is a vicious woman with the characteristics of an animal, including her vampire-like fangs and beastly eyes, while Ashaf is a man with more of a soft side. But, even if they do have opposite personalities, they share a common hatred for witches and live by the creed: “Wherever a witch goes, only curses and disasters follow.”

Eventually, they find a tattooed witch who has manipulated a whole town into thinking she is their hero, sparking a mission to eliminate her in any way they can. As of right now, there is no official confirmation about the cast or a release date for the anime adaptation, so fans will have to see how the story plays out in the future.
