Synopsis of The Witch and the Beast (Majo to Yajuu)

Ashaf – A soft-spoken man with delicate features, a coffin strapped to his back and an entourage of black ravens. Guideau – A wild and violent girl with long fangs and eyes like a beast. This sinister couple appears one day in a town enslaved by a witch, a ruler with magic coursing through her tattooed body who has convinced the townspeople that she is their hero. But Ashaf and Guideau know better. They live by a creed: “Where a witch goes, only curses and disasters follow.” They have a score to settle and will not hesitate to take down anyone who stands in their way, be it an angry mob or an army garrison.
