[Substitution]

Did the author forget the setting? They put another male witch

Nah, I think other possibilities exist:

1: That person isn't a witch but a representative of the witch. Maybe the witch observe through his eyes.
2: Its a woman witch shapeshifting into a man (Why? who knows)

3: .... Or maybe its a woman.

That person

Who are you talking about? Every character present in this chapter aside from Ichi and the monster has tits

• Shirabedonna the analysis witch shows up upside-down with a prominent hourglass figure, if that's who you're talking about then I have no idea how you can see that as a man
• The assistant witches from the research club are all ladies
• Master Manigold is clearly a woman, and her assistant is likely a woman in a suit (good taste)
• In the montage shots of all the witches of the association watching Ichi use magic, they are all either obvious women or tomboys with visible cleavage

Is there something I'm missing here?

I think they just missed the massive tits on the man faced one in the montage.

Masculine woman exist y'know

To be fair, the binder/corset and the beard like growth/accessory do make it a little confusing at a glance.

I think that's a scar.

Always love a classic "Here's A Lineup Of Cool Stronger Characters" moment, will be nice eventually meeting those witches properly. I doubt Ichi will go along with the king's request but I'd be down for a chapter or two of him scrapping with Dess, we haven't gotten to properly see her in action yet

Thought the same thing myself until I saw a character next to her with those same beardlike chin/cheek growths. Very confusing visual design for that panel size if that's supposed to be a woman. The ultra-short hair and broad shoulders don't help either.

The clown girl looks cute though.

 

[Kangkush]

Oh naaah, bros only out for the hunt. Doesn't matter who.

next chapter title change: Ichi The Witch Hunter

2: Its a woman witch shapeshifting into a man (Why? who knows)

It could be that some witches are trans, intersex, genderqueer, agender, or simply appear to be more androgynous. I think that makes the setting more interesting.
At the same time, it makes you wonder how exactly it works. Is being AFAB the only requirement you need? What about people whose chromosomes don't line up with their perceived gender (XY-women, XX-men)? But then, that wouldn't make them average/normal. They'd probably be special cases, and maybe they'd be categorized as 'girl' to evade going against the 'only women can be witches'-rule.
Or at some point in the past both sexes could use magic, but something happened, which caused men to lose their magic. Kind of reminds me of Warhammer Fantasy, in which the Druchii (Dark elves) have only female witches, but there is one male witch King Malekith, because he goes around killing all the male magic-users to evade some terrible prophecy of being overthrown by him

Spoiler

I think it got retcon'd and male dark elves can now also do magic

.
To be honest at this point in the story nothing points at anything like that.

Spoiler: Theory time

Majik are/were actually powerful male magic users, but for some reason, they get corrupted by magic and turned into monsters. To make sure it doesn't happen again maybe the goddess of magic (they might have a version of Hecate) sealed off all magic for the men?
