  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Burnthewitch

Burn the Witch is a manga by Noriaki "Tite" Kubo, set in the same universe as Bleach. It started as a one-shot released in the July 16th, 2018 edition of Shonen Jump, then in 2020 got an official 4-part short run (and is slated for a later one), and last but not least it had a 3-episode OAV anime (by Studio Colorido) in October 2020.

The action takes place in London aka the capital of England, rather than in Japan. This is because it houses the Western Branch of Soul Society, Wing Bind, which is based in Reverse London aka a part of London itself where people who can see Dragons live and handle their appearances. These Dragons are supernatural beings that have always existed in London itself, to the point that the London Coat of Arms has them in it; but since only a few people can see them, they're rendered as legends by the populace even when they wreak havoc, and it's up to the Western Branch to keep them at bay - without killing them, like the Shinigami do to the Hollows in the original Bleach. While many Dragons (known as Light Dragons) are actually friendly and even help out the humans from Reverse London, the Dark Dragons feed off negative emotions and can be VERY dangerous, so the Wing Bind agents are tasked with fighting them. . .

The protagonist is Noel Niihashi, an English girl who seems to be a normal high school student... Except that she's not - she's actually a Cute Witch of sorts, and lives a double life as a student and a agent of Wing Bind. She's not alone in her mission, of course: her partner is Ninny Spangcole, the harsh and beautiful lead singer of a very popular music band who is secretly a witch like her. And there's also the Lovable Sex Maniac Balgo Parks, an originally 100% human friend of Noel who in the original one-shot managed to survive a dangerous encounter with a Dragon and sorta tamed another that now masquerades as his pet dog Osushi. So now Noel and Ninny have to keep an eye on Balgo and Osushi, while dealing with the craziness around them. . .

And no, no witches have been burned in the manga itself. That one's aware of, that is.

Tropes used in Burn the Witch (manga) include:
