Ichi the Witch has rapidly grown into one of the standout hits in Weekly Shonen Jump. Following the journey of the world’s only male witch—who carries the grim burden of a prophecy claiming he is destined to destroy the planet’s most powerful monster—the series offers a thrilling mix of magic, intense action, and monster-hunting.
If you are trying to stay up to date with the latest chapters, volumes, and release schedules, here is everything you need to know.

Where to Read Online
You don’t need to purchase physical tankōbon volumes to stay current. Official English translations can be read digitally through:
- The Shonen Jump app
- The Viz Media website
Using these official platforms is also the best way to track upcoming publication breaks and hiatuses in real time.
Sales and Popularity
Ichi the Witch is performing exceptionally well commercially. Demand has been massive, with the series surpassing 1 million copies in circulation by the time its first five volumes hit shelves, cementing its status as one of the fastest-rising manga in recent memory.
Collected Volumes (Tankōbon)
- Japanese Releases: Volume 9 launched on July 3, 2026.
- English Releases: English collected editions trail the Japanese releases by about a year (with Volume 4 arriving in English on August 4, 2026).
Is There an Anime Adaptation Coming?
As of now, no official studio or publisher has announced an anime adaptation for Ichi the Witch. However, given the manga’s explosive sales, massive fan buzz, and consistent weekly momentum, an anime feels like a strong possibility down the road. Since the series only began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in September 2024, it is still early in its lifespan, leaving plenty of room for an adaptation announcement in the future.
