The Witch and the Beast, Vol. 3 by Kousuke Satake
My Rating: ★★★★★
Guideau and Ashaf are at it again when they’re assigned a new case involving a witch and a series of murders. This time around, they’re up against more than a witch this time around because the Paladin Corps has been called in to apprehend the murderous witch. When Guideau and Ashaf find the witch, they discover she’s a young woman named Helga who isn’t very skilled on top of being innocent of the crimes she’s been accused of. To top things off, she’s got a demon sword on her, and whoever has framed her has their eyes set on it.
This is the most interesting volume yet! It’s a bit different than the previous volumes, but it’s extremely interesting. This time around, we’re following a combination of Guideau and Ashaf on their latest assignment as well as well as their latest target, Helga. We go back and forth between both sides throughout the volume, which I loved. I’m very interested in seeing how Helga’s storyline continues in the fourth volume as well as what happens with this talking demon sword.
One thing I was extremely excited about is the amount of backstory dropped throughout the story. It wasn’t overwhelming at all given the amount of info we were given, and we found out quite a bit about witches and where their power comes from. We also found out that mages can make a pact with elementals, giving them the ability to be as powerful as a witch. I’m super interested in seeing how this information plays out in future volumes as well as what other new information we’ll learn.
I don’t know when the fourth volume will be translated and released in English, but I will be reading it as soon as it comes out. I see that there’s several volumes that have already been published, so I’m excited to read them as soon as they’re available.
