An anime adaptation of the The Witch and the Beast dark fantasy manga by Kousuke Satake has been announced. More details will be revealed later.

The Kodansha-published series began in 2017 and has 10 tankoubon volumes as of August 19, 2022 JST. It is serialized in Young Magazine Third and published under the Yanmaga KC Special label. 

Kodansha US describes the premise as:

Ashaf: a soft-spoken man with delicate features, a coffin strapped to his back, and an entourage of black crows. Guideau: a feral, violent girl with long fangs and the eyes of a beast. 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 dark fairytale set in a steampunk world of magic and monsters, The Witch and the Beast will entice and entrap manga readers looking for their next fantasy action fix!
