Guardian of the Witch

A manga about a young knight who betrays his kingdom when he learns that his final mission as the guardian of a witch is to kill her before the evil seed inside her grows out of control. Together they escape the city and set off to explore the lands to find a cure to save the witch’s life.

Yet another manga that did not survive in Weekly Shonen Jump. I think this fantasy series from Asahi Sakano is too similar to Black Clover. It was too easy to compare his art to Yuki Tabata‘s and they just don’t stack up. I actually think this series could have had a place to grow in maybe Weekly Shonen Champion but it just wasn’t made to last in Jump. You can still read it over on Manga Plus for now.
