In the rugged lands of old, where knights once battled fierce creatures and defended the weak, there was a swordsman of unparalleled skill. A true hero, his name known far and wide. But behind the glory of his victories lay a curse that tormented his soul. The saintly swordsman, with his noble heart and unwavering sense of justice, fought for the greater good. With each swing of his blade, he purged the world of evil. But for every life he saved, the weight of his curse grew heavier.

Tasha Gospel is one such witch hunter who, under the codename Magic Bullet Marksman travels the land with his pumpkin-faced supporter, Halloween, taking on missions to defeat witches and earn his income. While not the best and most interesting story, Witch Hunter is fun and even if it takes 10 more years to finish it, I ll gladly accompany the author and the characters to the end.

But for every life he saved, the weight of his curse grew heavier. The curse, a dark shadow that haunted his every step, was the price he paid for his extraordinary abilities. It whispered cruel and despicable thoughts into his mind, tempting him to use his power for personal gain.

Witch Hunter, 22 volumes later – bonutzuu’s manga archive

Witches and humans have been at war for who knows how long. Caught in the middle of a great power struggle between them is a young man – Tasha Godspell, the “Marksman”, a Witch Hunter searching for his sister who turned into a witch.

I started Witch Hunter so long ago I cannot remember anything about the first few volumes aside from how Monica got her hat. Unlike Ubel Blatt, however, it’s not just that I felt responsible for seeing the end of the manhwa that kept me reading for so long. Witch Hunter is extremely slow-paced yet super enjoyable. It’s still one story I like a lot and get excited about every time a new volume is announced.

The usual human vs witches. Mana is like poison, and so only witches are able to use magic, and only females can become a witch. That is, until our Tasha waltzes along and tadah! Being the MC, he somehow gained the ability to use magic despite being a man. What? Why? How? The author does a real good job at answering questions with even more questions, and at even volume 22, the latest one to be published in my country, there are loads of unanswered questions that just kept me on a perpetual cliffhanger.

The author kind of has a habit of making things up as he goes (he even said so in the Bailong arc where he’s like, well at first it was like this but then me and the editor changed it to that, and so that’s how this arc turned out), which means that even more flashbacks and explanations are needed to patch the holes up, which leads to more and more questions. The biggest ones are: who the heck is Edea, what is her relationship to West, why do Tasha at Ryuhwan have the same Jack-o-Lantern (yes, it’s been 138 chapters and we still don’t have the answer to that), how the heck is Tasha able to use magic, and is Tasha really West’s reincarnation? I mean, some of the explanation for some of these questions seemed to be pulled out of the blue but somehow makes sense, and I want to see just how far the author can take things and still manage to make it work.

It’s been years and the Bailong arc is still my favorite. Edea’s arc came close.

At volume 22, we’re done with the Edea flashback and it is revealed that with the seal broken, Tasha is now the level of a White Class (highest class) WH, while Halloween/Modred is also a White Class support because she is able to take the poison from the mana of a White Class. Tasha becomes this badass MC that rubs it in everyone’s faces that the guy they used to bully is now strong as hell. And then East flies in and said ‘Tasha, u gonna die soon’ and the volume ends, just like that. Talk about cliffhangers.

Probably the part of WH I like most after the art. There are a whole lot of quirky characters and they’re all really likeable. There’s not much in terms of character development. If you’ve read Wuxia novels, it’s kinda like that – the characters stay who they are and retain their traits from start to end. (Maybe except Xing, I couldn’t even recognize the guy when he appeared in volume 22) Not to say it’s a bad thing.

Tasha and Halloween has good chemistry and they’re cute together. I feel that Tasha changed a lot since the first volume but I’m not sure, it’s been too long.

I remember that the author mentioned that during the planning, Tasha was a girl and Halloween/Modred was a boy (hence the names), so many character’s gender has to be changed. I guess he forgot about the boys unable to use magic part, but hey, it’s that question that keeps readers engaged.

I love Cho Jung-man’s crisp art. It’s so clean. I also like how he draws anatomy: the big sharp eyes, the waist, the hands, the hair, the legs, they got style. And his lolis, man. So so cute. I’d say the author has something for lolis and weird hats.

I’d say the art improved so much from the first few volumes, especially the color pictures.

Hell yeah I enjoy it. While the characters are badass for the sake of being badass and sometimes the plot feels like it’s trying to patch itself up by taking a lot of detours, it’s interesting and I can tell that it’s here for the long run. Witch Hunger is not a masterpiece-must read-magnum opus manhwa, but it’s definitely fun to see what kind of weird twists and turns the author comes up with next.

Well… It’s been 22 volumes and I’m still craving more volumes. While not the best and most interesting story, Witch Hunter is fun and even if it takes 10 more years to finish it, I’ll gladly accompany the author and the characters to the end.

It twisted his thoughts, warped his intentions, and eroded his very essence. In the midst of battle, the saintly swordsman would hear the anguished screams of those he had slain. Their faces would haunt him, their blood staining his hands. He tried to avert his gaze, but the curse would not let him forget. It reveled in his anguish, feeding off his pain and remorse. The curse never ceased its torment, never allowed the saintly swordsman to find solace. In the quiet of the night, he would weep for the lives lost, for the darkness that latched onto his soul. And though he continued to fight for the greater good, he yearned for release from the curse that had ensnared him. Alas, the lament of the curse for the saintly swordsman was a somber symphony that reverberated through his very being. It was a lamentation for the lost innocence, for the burden of power, and for the price a hero must pay. But amidst the despair, there remained a flicker of hope. A hope that one day, the curse would lose its grip, and the saintly swordsman would find redemption..
