Once upon a time in a dark and sinister forest, a powerful witch lived. She had long, unkempt hair and a crooked nose that added to her intimidating appearance. This witch was feared by all who knew of her existence, for she possessed the ability to cast wicked spells and summon horrific creatures. One fateful night, as the moon cast an eerie glow over the forest, the witch decided to conjure up a fearsome beast to do her bidding. With a wave of her bony hand and a series of incantations, she brought forth a creature like no other. This beast was a massive, hulking creature with sharp fangs and claws that dripped with venom.
PRESENTATION (art & storytelling conventions):
The only lingering question in my mind is if Satake will continue the measured pacing of both the stated narrative and the meta narrative Guideau s slow character development that has allowed its aforesaid strengths to grow and come to the fore organically over about the first 5 volumes. This is a manga that will reward you for pausing and admiring the slight changes in facial expressions from one panel to the next, as well as contemplating what the characters say versus what they don t say.
This beast was a massive, hulking creature with sharp fangs and claws that dripped with venom. Aligned by a common desire to cause chaos and destruction, the witch and the beast formed an unholy alliance. Together, they wreaked havoc upon the innocent creatures of the forest, causing fear and despair to spread like wildfire.

This ominous pair appear one day in a town in thrall to a witch — a ruler with magic coursing through her tattooed body, who has convinced the townsfolk she’s their hero. But Ashaf and Guideau know better. They live by one creed: “Wherever a witch goes, only curses and disasters follow.” They have scores to settle, and they won’t hesitate to remove anyone in their way, be it angry mob or army garrison.

A brave warrior, armed with courage and determination, rose to challenge the malevolent duo.

Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and uninterested in the book.
2. John - 2 stars
"The Witch and the Beast" had potential, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The storyline seemed promising, but it quickly became repetitive and predictable. The romance between the witch and the beast felt forced and lacked chemistry. The pacing of the book was also off, with slow parts that dragged on and rushed action scenes that left me confused. Overall, I was left underwhelmed and wished for more depth and complexity in the story.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "The Witch and the Beast," but it fell short for me. The characters were one-dimensional, and their interactions felt forced. The dialogue was often cheesy and unrealistic, making it hard to take the story seriously. Additionally, the world-building was lacking, and I never felt fully immersed in the fantasy setting. While there were moments of potential, the overall execution left much to be desired. I wouldn't recommend this book to fellow fantasy lovers.
