Wicked Spot - Vol. 1 Ch. 5

[Gustbk]

I kinda love how Sadako is just a certified hater and that just makes Hanako more obsessed with her. It would be interesting if that was the main conceit of the plot -- two girls forced to do missions together for a bunch of witches.

Yeessss new chapter!! I love them so much their dynamic is so fun, also gorgeous witch ringleader, thank you for the translation!

God damn Sal Jiang's art is something to behold . . . It was always good, though there was more of an emphasis on the feel of the spaces and the character expressions (my god, the expressions . . .) - adding in the fantastical elements and the action/fight sequences is amazing, honestly it's done better than most shounen battle manga, less confusing to read but so very impactful . . .

Also, Sadako is wonderful, such a simple and naive and fun character, with hints of new depths and complexity showing up ever more frequently as things progress. And Hanako is shaping up to be just as good, particularly as a foil for Sadako's Chaotic Random . . .

 

[KitsuKyouno]

Wow, wow, increased quickly

 

[Colonel-Picquart]

Don't you just hate it when your super hot nemesis who's full of enough whimsy to knock a Victorian orphan stone dead ropes you into a magic life threatening adventure and all you get out of it is this stupid Goth Lolita dress? and eventually smooches

Seeing as our two POV characters are an ostensible human and a witch isolated from both mundane and magical societies we really don’t have any ideas about how being a “witch” is defined or what is defined as “magic”. Hanako has obviously been accepted into the Sabbath, not just as Sadako’s companion. We know she can see witches and resist their magic somewhat. And her strength and durability are certainly supernatural. If anything I’m more excited to dive into her secrets than Sadako’s.

Ohh it's more like a team of witches vs the bad guys. Thought it would be a 1v1 battle shounen but this is a pleasant surprise.

Sal's artstyle feels like a combination of western cartoons and manga. It's quite interesting and pretty to look at.
I feel like every character is pretty in their own way.

Sadako's got a booty! Really enjoying this series and it reminds me a lot of, Gunbured x Sisters, at least on the premise of supernaturals, action, and hot women.

 

[yanderecoverl]

Awesome. They even held hands

 

[AkodoRyu]

For now, this series is a real delight. Sadako's pure enjoyment of life is really contagious, the frenemies relationship is fun too, and now we also have some cool magic and even more quirky witches going around.
I just hope they won't make it too serious later down the line.

This could be a really solid candidate for anime from Sal Jiang.

 

[Sandrascarlet]

I love them

 

[enthusiastically.y]

I really like this

 

[Manchura]

it's so funny watching "word: derogatory meet word: who they are"

I can't believe I actually recognize a location in a manga because I've been there in person! The statue on the last page is in Salem, Massachusetts and depicts protagonist Samantha Stephens of the sitcom Bewitched. I've never watched the show, but I came across the statue when I visited Salem last year.

There doesn't seem to be an official website for the location, but Statue of Elizabeth Montgomery - Atlas Obscura has some good photographs of it:

Did Sadako kill these 2 humans in the 1st chapter and all the skeletons in her home? really makes her hateable if that's the case

 

[Megumemedesu]

I love this. Like they say "spaghetti is straight until it gets wet"

Not really, I think what happened is that they went in without expecting an actual 'haunting' of the house and they got so scared they died either of a heart attack or running away without looking where they went. Its less that she killed them and more that her just chilling in her home scared them so bad they died. I'm fairly certain thats the case for all the bodies in her house, since its pretty clear she didn't do it on purpose
