In Japanese popular culture, and in manga and anime especially, witchcraft is very (if not most) commonly featured in works of the magical girl genre. Needless to say, this means we’re picturing more of a Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service as opposed to the warty, green crones a la the creepy Halloween decorations I saw around the neighborhood as a little kid. Which is all the more reason for you to continue enjoying these witch manga picks year-round instead of limiting them to everyone’s favorite October holiday. While young witches coming of age is certainly a huge theme, the best witch manga also include witches as antagonists, mysterious wish-granters, beings with no magic at all, and more. There’s a little something for everyone, whether you want something gentle and cozy, dark and action-packed, or something in between. And for even more witchy reads, we’ve got you more than covered!
