Burn the Witch Manga Recap
This manga is basically a similar type of set up as the popular manga Bleach. Tite even made similar character designs for the Burn the Witch. The story is in a place called Reverse London where Wizards and Witches exist. There is a west branch of Soul Society that gives protection against Dragons to the people of this city. Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole work for this organization to control the activity of Dragons in the country. These two are appointed to track a Dragon Clad called Balgo Parks.
Balgo Park was affected due to his friend from 10 years ago named Shelby. He turned out to be a Disguiser Dragon that was a powerful Dark Dragon. Due to Shelby, Balgo turned into a Dragon Clad and got targeted by Noel and Ninny. Even a death poster for Balgo was introduced but he was later acquitted due to his relation with Shelby and good for the fight against other powerful dragons. Noel and Ninny are now staying with Balgo and continue their life in the city until another Dragon appears. This is where the first season of the manga ends.
It was hinted that Balgo himself is someone strong. This may be due to the influence of Shelby or something in his own history. Balgo attracts other dragons and he can control strong ones as well. The character design of Balgo is inspired by Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. There are differences but he is expected to be the main character for this manga series. Tite Kubo is very eager to give this manga, its new sequel due to the popularity it gained. Season 2 is coming very soon.
