Ichi the witch vol 2 by Osamu Nishi

Illustrated by Shiro Usazaki

Ichi gets to go on more assignments to deal with unruly majiks, starting with a shark majik that freezes villagers. The trial to capture this majik includes making her look fabulous and fashionable. Ichi's solution is inventive and completely outside the box. Later, at a meeting of witches, the council decides whether it’s time to announce Ichi to the world or not. A master witch, Togeice, believes Ichi is not skilled and refined yet, and challenges Ichi to a contest in order to settle the question. The contest includes pitting their respective skills against one another and seeing which method of capture majiks is the best.

This volume is full of action but it also showcases Ichi’s creativity. Thanks to the different trials that he has to go through, we really get to see that he’s not all just action and sword. There are many funny moments between all of the witches, but it seems Desscaras has that permanent look of disappointment/ embarrassment that is featured on the cover. Despite being in her care, Ichi is constantly putting Desscaras in a position to be embarrassed in front of her colleague witches (in a funny way for all of us readers)
