It’s common for new manga to receive recommendations from veterans to boost sales, and My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi is no exception. Over the years, Horikoshi has given personal recommendations to various new manga, and in most cases, they’ve become major hits worldwide, with notable examples being the romance manga Blooming Love and the action series Kagurabachi.

Manga recommended by Kohei Horikoshi are almost guaranteed to be worth reading, and that’s especially true of his latest recommendation, Ichi the Witch. Ichi the Witch is one of the latest manga to join the Shonen Jump line-up, and with its first volume recently released in Japan, Kohei Horikoshi of My Hero Academia fame has given Ichi the Witch stunning praise for its first volume. Ichi the Witch has been a delight to read from day one, and hopefully, Horikoshi’s recommendation will help it become the next big thing.
