Guardian of the Witch Author Launches Beast King Manga

Asahi Sakano, the creator of Guardian of the Witch, will soon be back in action with a new manga called Beast King & Medicinal Herb (Jūō to Yakusō). The manga will be illustrated by Sakano with story by Tatsukazu Konda and character designs by Momochichi.

Beast King & Medicinal Herb is a fantasy story about a Beast King thought to have been killed by a hero. It’s set to hit the Manga ONE app August 16.

Here’s how Viz describes Sakano’s previous manga, Guardian of the Witch:

Misshapen beasts known as Evils roam the world, attacking and devouring humans. Mankind’s only protection from these Evils are the witches. Fafner, the greatest warrior in the city-state of Berne, has been assigned to be the guardian of the witch Mansfa. But Fafner doesn’t yet know the true scope of his duties. What will he do when he finds out the cruel truth?
