Is the series close to its conclusion?
Minor manga spoilers ahead.
Summary:
- The Witch and the Beast manga is yet to be finished.
- It’s not approaching its end as of now.
- One of the ideas for the finale is a battle between Guideau and Angela.
The Witch and the Beast (Majo to Yajuu) manga is written and illustrated by Kousuke Satake. It started its serialization in 2016 and is still unfinished.
Since the anime adaptation is currently airing, and the series is slowly starting to attract more attention, there are more fans who want to read the manga, too. That’s why the main question is how close we are to the finale of the series and how it can possibly end.
The end's not near
It doesn’t look like the manga is heading towards its end just yet; there are still some things to be explored and revealed. It was mentioned that there are 17 original witches in the story, and fans think all of them have to be introduced before we reach the ending of the story.
Moreover, The Witch and the Beast manga still feels rather young even though it started 8 years ago, so readers doubt it’s the best time to finish it. It has a very interesting lore, and there’s so much more to be told, we’re just not ready to say goodbye to it.
How will the story end?
The witch that cursed Guideau, Angela, has been revealed in the series, and it’s natural to suggest that the ending will have something to do with these two. Angela wanted Guideau to find her, but there are doubts that she wants it to happen anytime soon.
That’s why the idea is that Angela will toy with Guideau for some more time before the manga reaches the final battle between these two. And then, hopefully, Guideau’s curse will be broken, and we’ll have our small happy end.
It doesn’t look like Angela will agree to lift the curse just like that, so Guideau will have to work for it some more. Fans think the curse will be broken by the power of love, and that’s why Ashaf is disciplining Guideau and teaching this concept to her.
Speaking about love, it’s always important to point out the relationship between Ashaf and Guideau. It’s difficult to deny that there's a certain chemistry, and shippers are always hopeful.
Of course, no one expects a fairytale ending with them falling for each other and becoming this power of love to break the curse, but it will be curious to see where the story finale will leave these two.
