like. i need people to understand: in ichi the witch (which you should be reading, if you aren't already) magic is sentient.

it's been around in this sentient form as majiks for at least a thousand years, and in the story's present 402 out of 3185 known majiks are "acquired" by witches:

in the whole world only 402 are with witches. once acquired, they take the form of a jewel:

there are 35 majiks in this panel:

Desscareas single-handedly holds at least 8.72% of all majiks in the entire world.

"Everyone's Favorite Uber-Talented Badass" indeed

Nishii really just showed up and decided to write Gojo but better and a black queen.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Ichi the Witch all day for one specific reason:

I have no idea how the title could have been better translated

The Japanese title is Madan no Ichi (魔男のイチ), where Madan is a clear play on Majo (魔女), which effectively translates to "magic woman." This makes Madan "magic man," which as far as I can find isn't a word in Japanese at all

The intention is obviously that Ichi is a male witch, but there is no term for male witch in English that quite captures how unheard of this concept is in context. We could call him a warlock or a wizard, but if the idea is that men can't use magic at all, then having those terms doesn't make sense in the first place, they're contextually impossible

We could call him "witch boy" or "witch man," but that's inelegant at best and just kinda stupid at worst. You can't call him a "Witcher," cus that's copyrighted. You could use the original Old English term for witch, wicce, and go with the masculine wicca, but calling the series Ichi the Wicca both carries a lot of strong religious connotations and still fails to capture the feeling of uniqueness within the setting

The funniest thing about this line of thought, though, is that you just know there was a point where the translator was sitting at their desk, head in hands, surrounded by crumpled-up papers on the floor that all had the word "MANWITCH" scribbled over in red ink a thousand times

I really hope Ichi the Witch will avoid the Jump axe and will go on to be successful because I love her already

She's so perfect
