Mahoutsukai to Aka no Pilgrim - Ch. 7 - GRIM: 07

[MangaDex]

Seems to be a running theme, all of the wizards who made wishes to fulfill spiritual/emotional desires spiral into a destructive path as they become dissatisfied and attempt to "steal" the happiness they see around them. Howcuttle's wish was a physical desire, so he's much less affected by the curse since at the end of the day he just needs to eat something. Potentially more destructive since there's nothing stopping him from eating literally everything but his mind is still there and can rationalize reasons to not do that

Well, no wonder Howcuttle wanted to leave.

I assumed Howcuttle’s wish was to make that piece of bread he thought he needed to be able to “provide” for his family to get them to follow him out of the circus, rather than to satisfy his own hunger. He wanted to satisfy his family’s hunger, and now he’s eternally hungry.

Also, he doesn’t seem to possess any abilities that would let him eat better, so unless there’s a later development that reveals how a wizard’s abilities can be expanded beyond what their initial “magic” is, Howcuttle doesn’t really have any supernatural devouring abilities beyond what his physique already endows him with.

His wish is literally in the first chapter, he was starving to death and his wishes was that he wanted to eat a bit of bread, anything and everything. All of his wishes were fulfilled, he can summon bread and he can eat anything and everything, and the punishment is perceptual starvation. The punishments are ironic

so did the clown wizard actually molest kids when he was human or were those police lying about the accusations? Cuz they called him a "kiddy diddler" but the way they laughed as they said the kids he was taking care of that accused him made it seem like they were lying about it? however back in the present the clown guy talks about looking for the perfect child and later when he realizes who howcuttle is, says "once you were as lovely as a tender little flower" which seems to indicate he may have been a child molester?

if you look at the clown in ch 6, you'll notice his tongue and hands touching howcuttle in pretty questionable ways. its been established since ch 1 that he's rather... "fond" of children. sure, he shelters and provides for them, but if they do something he doesn't like, poof, they're either turned into balloon heads or reduced to bones

The one piece of bread a day is a cruel reminder of Howcuttle's past working in the circus. He and his siblings would only get a single piece of bread every day.
