About the series
In the late 2000s, Viz Media brought over Kurohime, a supernatural action series that blends shonen battle tropes with a romantic comedy edge. The story centers on a powerful witch transformed into a child, who must team up with a young gunslinger to break her curse. Created by Masanori Katakura, this 14-issue run is remembered for its dynamic art and the playful tension between its diminutive, foul-mouthed heroine and her reluctant partner. It stands as a compact, entertaining example of mid-2000s manga localization.
