| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- I remember reading this not long ago. Kinda glad to read another one of Tite Kubo's works and his art style is pretty much on spot as Bleach in this. The idea of witches in this one shot also makes somewhat of an intruging premise. If it gets a serialization someday, they can progress the story from much more from this. |
 |
| Soul Society West Branch eh? That was a fun reveal. Overall, this was pretty decent imo. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| this was perfection at it's best, Kubo always a step ahead of everybody, simply a genious |
I . A M . D E A D ! C O N T I N U E ? INSERT COIN |
| I really didn't like this at all. Unlike most people I hope Kubo never turns this into a series. |
| The telephone booth as a doorway is a ripoff of Harry Potter. The only difference is here a token is needed while in the Potter universe, you need to dial a number. IF this gets turned into a series (I think he said he doesn't want to), we'll probably be seeing lots of this scene. Even if he was somehow inspired, this should not be considered a homage. Otherwise, an interesting concept. |
| Wow, so a grown ass man like Kubo is writing a stupidly perverted and disgusting character archetype such as our fellow male protagonist here being a douche because whenever he started his day every morning, all he desired is to see the panties of the girl he's trying to woo. What an absolutely marvellous characteristic there. Thanks a lot for showcasing just how much a goner you, Kubo Tite has become throughout the year now. Also, instead of becoming a manga that could possibly centered on two girls hanging about destroying evil dragons, it has to resorted to the ever ingenious girl meet boy cliche, and this boy just happened to be someone that's ordinary and yet obtained the power to see dragons by the end because that's just inevitable for this sort of thing and he's gonna be following the main girl from now on. Geez, what does that reminded you of again? Oh, Bleach because it shared a similar starting point in the story, except that Ichigo actually has dignity. I don't wanna see more from this abomination, no thank you. |
| @Afezeria It's silly to think that the slice of life all-female premise is not the same overused cliche as the perverted male protagonist. Pretty hypocritical POV, I think. Especially if you call your favorite Frame Girl, which literally bursts with fanservice and that same ecchi. |

| So here's my deal. I respect Kubo a hell of a lot. And though I think a story with two female protagonists is not only progressive and interesting; along with some of the bare bone plot/world elements. This is a mess. I feel as if Kubo is still writing characters and archetypes from a decade ago. The girls don't seem to have much too attach to, wouldn't say they're unlikable and I don't like judging on a oneshot because hese characters COULD grow but there's not a single thing I like from either of them. And it could be said to death but panties guy is annoying as fuck and if this got work shopped to be made into an actual series I hope to god he's pulled entirely. This is very premise over characters bunch of info dumping through journey to show us the ropes but it doesn't feel like anything special when the characters don't seem to enjoy their jobs or are enamored with the work. And they don't seem forced to do it either. This story is trying to do all too much at once and switch settings and explain in 60 pages that I don't even care too keep up with the jargon that's being talked about. Kubo your art is phenomenal but fuck, this man needs someone to write for him because it ain't happening by himself. |
 |
| Rather average at best, the setting is not the greatest, some Harry Potter'eqsue world. Felt a bit drawn out, other than cute characters, really wasn't feeling it. |
 |
| I have a problem with how we've seen nothing about London to differentiate it from Japan, and i have no idea how Dragons work, they killed the "friend" but let the Dark Dragon/puppy alive. I kind of like the two girls but the Ichigo character didn't end in a good way in my opinion, i was hoping he would go to Reverse London since he now can see Dragons and work as our eyes into this world. But without being the third main character, probably even second, because now he's half Hollow/Dragon for some reason, what about the "friend's" parents, why haven't they became half Dragons too? That was definitely tacked on. He got too similar to Ichigo by the end where he will probably have a power that he can't control, and he's also too creepy with the panty stuff. Would rather have him in the sidelines, appearing just once in a while. Nice surprise with the Soul Society West Branch reveal at the end, would be nice to see this as a monthly series. |
 |
| I think this was really funny and has a lot of potential, I liked the dragon designs too. (and that Dragon Ball reference mmm...) |
 |
| We need this manga |
 |
| Glad this was only a one shot. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| So is this series meant to be a sequel to Bleach? The end kind of drops that it takes place within the same universe, and the very last page showing the word BLEACH within the title Burn The Witch was done on purpose as well. |
Raratah said: So is this series meant to be a sequel to Bleach?

Nope, this is more like a spin-off than a actual continuous. The light novel Can't Fear Your Own World feel more like a sequel to me. |
| So I don't know what version people read before hand but I want to give this series some credit based on the recent release on the SJ app. This one shot has some ideas which weren't fully explored (though hopefully will be in the serialization). The concept of dragon slaying witches in London is cool. But we don't know too much about the organization or even our characters. Noel isn't all that interested in fighting, but why? Seems shes hanging onto to some secrets. Nini is an actor and that's never explored. Humans can't touch dragon cause they'll corrupt them to become Dark Dragons, neat. But most of them don't believe in this mythical stuff but can still be punished for it? Also what is Reverse London? A segment of Soul Society? Much like Hollows, Dragons can't be seen by most and some of them have personality. Also, unlike Soul Society, Wing Binders have a branch (the Pipers) to tame and make use of them. All well and good but what are dragons and witches? In Bleach they were the dead folk. Now it's just magical beings? Based on the dialogue they make dragons seem like Hollows. So this needs to be clarified. But there's a lot of good too. The art style is a given cause it's Kubo. This series has some pretty fun dialogue as well. Very self aware humor, but the male lead is too much for me. I think the female leads have potential if used well. An attractive cool headed weeb plus her hot headed idol senior makes for a solid duo. Perhaps focusing on Western mythology for the story (and using Noel for otaku references) can make for something unique. |

| I'm feeling some kind of way about this, but Sushi-chan, FTW!! |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| That's the cringiest dragon i've ever seen. And yet kubo called it highly intelligent. Not sure about this... but if it ever gets a full serialization it might not be all that good. |
  Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever! |
White_Hollow said: Not sure about this... but if it ever gets a full serialization it might not be all that good. WSJ already confirmed this manga will get a full serialization and will begin sometimes this year lol. |
| I have faith in Kubo, his art and characters designs are the best of the Big 3. But his writing is meh. This story is going to be serialized and planned out from the beginning to the end, so I expect great things. |
| This was a neat little short. I liked the setting, the two main characters and the creature designs were also incredibly cool. The only things that really rubbed me the wrong way were how god damn annoying the panties guy was and how obnoxiously short the girl's skirts were. I hope that *if* this gets serialized, those two aspects get toned down a bit. |
| This was a decent one shot. The concept seems promising and ofc the art was great. Virgo looks like Ichigo a lot and Noelle's a cutie. Anyway gonna keep my expectations low so that I don't get disappointed. Looking forward to the serialization. |
 |
| Rarely read anything so... cringe |
 |
| burn the witch? more like boil the thot! |
 |
| Well, this was a decent one-shot. I like the two main characters and their design though I can't say the same for the pants guy. |
 |
| Rereading it as the first chapter of the "season 1" book (that should cost slightly more but include all the colour pages, zut!) It still seems okay/mediocre with fun designs and appealing drawings. It still feels inopportune to bind ;) this to Bleach. It still feels as if this could very easily fall into giving up on the girls and equipping the comic-relief/guy with a bit too much abilities The dog corpse is still as cute as ever. Since this was initially a one-shot, I can't really complain but the whole thing around the human-disguised dragon could have been better exploited, there is room for far more interesting stuff than this "Oh, this beast seems to have intelligence and some sort of feelings." immediately followed by "Oh, this is.. dead. End." Score: 6/10 Enjoyment: 4/5 Also, I can't stop reading Warner Bros every time the WB sigle comes. PS: was the main character fitting the Rukia body/style type (and not the "traditionnally" airbag equipped medium/tall girl design) too much to ask for, Kubo? AshitaNoJonas said: I really didn't like this at all. Unlike most people I hope Kubo never turns this into a series. Sorry about that. (I can see him doing this as his pet job, while working as illustrator on a series written by someone ese though. It would be nice.) Was it even dislike? Or simply a total lack of interest (wich wouldn't be surprising about something from the mangaka) ? To any moderator passing by: why is this registered as an alternative telling of the other chapters? It has been published as its own, but the following chapters / series are connected to it and it was even republished as part of it with a very few pages added. |
