魔女 [Majo / Witches]

In this brief, two-issue series from 2004–2005, Shogakukan published a spare, atmospheric exploration of witches through the singular vision of artist Daisuke Igarashi. Known for his delicate linework and quiet, nature-infused storytelling, Igarashi crafts a meditative take on folklore that lingers in the mind long after the final page. Though short-lived, 魔女 stands as a distinctive fragment of early-2000s manga, showcasing the artist's unique ability to blend the mundane with the magical.
