Witch on the Holy Night Film Gets Manga Adaptation

Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine announced that an anime film adaptation of Type-Moon’s visual novel Witch on the Holy Night will receive a manga version. The new series is illustrated by Keigo Maki, known for his work on Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie. The first chapter is scheduled to debut in the magazine’s next issue, which releases on November 11.

The announcement coincides with the upcoming theatrical premiere of the anime film in Japan on November 20. A commercial featuring voice actors Haruka Tomatsu and Yūsuke Kobayashi was streamed to promote both the film and the accompanying manga. The original story follows Aoko Aozaki, a reluctant apprentice mage balancing her duties as student council president with her magical training under Alice Kuonji.

This project highlights the enduring popularity of the franchise, which serves as a foundational entry in the broader Nasuverse shared universe. The visual novel has seen multiple re-releases across various platforms, including recent digital launches on Steam and Western console markets.
