Though some time has passed, fans of Burn the Witch are still as obsessed with the story as ever. Creator Tite Kubo put his new series on the sidelines after Bleach came knocking on his door, but that never meant the fantastical story was done for. After teasing fans there was more to come, Kubo seems more confident aboutย Burn the Witch‘s future, and he made as much clear with help from a special… email.
The update comes from Japan as Tite Kubo’s fan club received a note teasing the update. The message was written to welcome the new year, and it told fans that new info aboutย Burn the Witchย would be shared this year.

And yeah, that is about it. This is the first nod toย Burn the Witchย fans have gotten in a hot minute. A small update is better than nothing, but fans would be lying if they said they didn’t need more details ASAP.
For those who haven’t checked outย Burn the Witch, the fantasy series is the first big project Kubo undertook after Bleach ended. The story is connected to Bleach very loosely, but Ichigo is nowhere in sight. This new series focuses on two witches named Noel and Ninny who work for the Soul Society’s western branch. Tasked with keeping their magical world safe, the pair find themselves torn when humanity edges too close to their world, and a bunch of dragons make sure to complicate things.
Burn the Witch began as a manga one-shot in July 2018 before a four-part manga was released in late 2020. The release was followed up quickly byย Burn the Witch‘s movie which earned solid reviews from fans. And now, netizens are hoping Noel and Ninny bring a bit of magic to 2022.
