John Tarachine’s manga is described by publisher Titan as a Japanese spin on Harry Potter and Charmed. It’s the tale of a witch and her apprentice, set in Geek Native’s hometown HQ.
The blurb for Witch of Thistle Castle says;
Spirits and magic are everywhere in the streets of Edinburgh – if only you dare to see it!
Dive into this heartfelt manga about a witch and her apprentice as they try to find their place in a world that hates their very existence.
The last in a long line of Witches of the Black Wood, Marie Blackwood lives a quiet life in Edinburgh – away from the scrutiny of the Church.
But when the Church thrusts 13-year-old Theo into her hands for safekeeping, Marie suddenly gains the responsibility not just of taking care of a teenager – but protecting the world and Theo himself, from the amazing power that lives inside of him.
The author, also known as John Taratsumi in English, is best known as the author and artist of End Roll, Alcohole Communication, and Shinonome Tantei Ibunroku.
