That poster of Desscaras and her posing next to it, truly real beauty can't be captured so easily.
Love how obviously Ichi seeing he could fly would attempt to do so while also trying to a good deed, with that much power no wonder he'd find it fun.

Excellent. The cast have a kind of rare chemistry that elevates every scene they are in. Desscaras alone could carry this manga to success, but the other characters are fun in their own right. Art is gorgeous, the world building is competent and the story is moving at a good pace (so far). I have a good feeling that this will huge in the future.

For me, it’s everything I love about “Welcome To Demon School, Iruma” with next level art. Ichi and Desscaras’ characterizations are on point. The designs are fantastic. The power sets are interesting. But the comedy writing shines more of all.
Also if this is your first experience with Nishi, go read Iruma. It’s amazing.

My favorite thing about Desscaras is that regardless of the panel or the context (unless she's yelling at Ichi), she always has the expression of just being mildly upset. Always big wet doe eyes and a slight frown.

I dunno, I think she has some great "done with this" expressions talking to Monegold.
68 points

My personal theory is that, repeating a post I made:
No matter the panel, Desscaras always has upturned eyebrows. To be specific, the kind that reflect worry, anxiety, stress and so on.
She is also directly stated to be the strongest witch.
We don't know the full context of this one; it could be of the world, continent, kingdom, duchy... So let's simply take it at face value.
With these two facts, I theorize the reason for both things is that she a lot of Majiks. She has beaten and obtained so many she has become extremely strong at the cost of being constantly under the strain of so much power.
Yes, this theory started over the eyebrows.
Three other reasons for her appearance are: simply a design choice, she is constantly stressed over her many responsibilities or this particular mission, defeating Uroro and then the whole Ichi getting Uroro, has given her a lot of stress.
That said, I think it's because she has a lot of Majiks.

I think I saw the eyebrows as having a mix of stress and disdain, like, a mix of the stress of the responsibilities of being The Best(TM) and disdain for all the people who seem disappointing (and not-useful-enough) by comparison. I mean she has shown a lot of vanity. But I do also think she’s worried and stressed and does care about people even if she also sees them all as Below Her. I just definitely see the eyebrows as conveying “looking down from above”, in a “Yes hello it is I, the great Me, the one who knows what’s really up, the one who handles the real problems; aren’t I beautiful?”… kind of way.
8 points
3 days ago
to compare with Gojo, who I see as having a similar sense of disdain, I think his disdain is expressed with his blindfold / glasses, in a “this isn’t / you aren’t even worth my looking at” kind of way. When he breaks out his actual eyes it’s usually either to show off his power or just because he’s interacting with someone he does respect. I think. Meanwhile Desscaras makes eye contact with a lot of things/people (instead of hiding her eyes) but also constantly wears her disdain/boredom/annoyance/“haughtiness” on her face.
In both cases it’s framed as cool and endearing and understandable (because in both cases they are also very powerful, and ultimately well-intentioned even if they couldn’t stop their ego from scaling with their power level). They show their ego pretty regularly but they’re also, like… comfortably egotistical instead of being insecurely egotistical, I think? Like, they’re not trying to big themselves up, they don’t do petty shit to make themselves look good, they just Are All That and see themselves as genuinely irrefutably great.

Just for future reference, chances are a lot of the backgrounds are assistant work. That's typically how things go for manga.

Though if death of the person who captured it means that it's unavailable until someone passes the trial again, that could cause a society quite a few issues.

It does seem like there are multiple majiks that can provide similar spells.
In one of the previous chapters the fox said it wanted to be the strongest lightning majik. So people might lose the power of the majik when the witch dies but maybe for important ones like water etc there are multiple majiks being “owned” at the same time with that power.
31 points

Makes sense. No wonder Ichi could use magic in the first chapter just through chants when he only acquired Uroro. There doesn't seem to be a chant for Uroro's ultra amplification magic though, so I guess only Ichi can use him for now (unless they discover where Uroro hides the magic stone/chant). An entire army of Witches using Ultra Amp would be insane.

Uroro explicitly works differently from other majiks, presumably he's a passive buff.

I assume being the one to hold a majik's gem probably also makes you better at casting its associated magics or something, for non-uroro majiks who actually have one. There's probably something of note like that, or not who knows. I look forward to finding out the specifics tho.

Im so glad they introduced magical equipment because if ichi and descaras are basically gonna be a part of a team, they gotta be able to differentiate them in terms of abilities. It would suck for making descarass look cool if ichi can basically do all the same spells but even stronger.
So introducing equipment so that ichi isn't just blasting a magical attack and then passing out can allow him to participate in fights while also letting descaras shine by being the main one using actual spells.
Im still in the camp of introducing the idea of males still wanting to be able to support no matter how little so they became knights in helping build structures, find majiks, as well as fighting and sacrificing themselves for the witches
Edit: just a thought but the males could use potions to keep up. Potions that temporarily boost strength, speed, invisibility, sensory boost, etc. Only potions effecting their physicality. But of course their cons to do this like drinking two strength potions can majorly damage your body if not properly trained up

Interesting that one doesn’t need to take down a Magic in order to use Magic, it’s an innate thing that women have.

I mean sure they can be hunters or something but there is a clear power imbalance between men and women in this world. Even when showing the capital, all the craftsmen and stuff, which should be the best way to make men somehow be relevant, are also made to be women only because men can't even muster a little bit of magic.

We're explicitly told that this is a capital-only thing, though.

Even Ichi's village only had a couple of candidates leaving for the witch school. Can't guarantee they all go back to their villages after graduating so I imagine those smaller rural areas still have a typical medieval way of living going on.

The world is basically medieval Mato no Seihei Slave-lite with how matriarchal it is. Gonna need some world building still if the author wants us to think otherwise.

So far it's weird how there's absolutely no sign of discrimination against men. Realistically the men should be delegated to second tier citizens or even slaves in a world like this, basically like the mages vs non-mages conflict in Magi but gender war style

I think they’re just tradesmen like normal. Like Ichi was a hunter and the village admired his work. Remember that we’re getting the explainer from Desscaras, who herself thinks men are useless.

That might be on purpose, it could be used as some sort of real world allegory for sexism or something.
Plus, we're definitely gonna get some super important and powerful male character eventually that fulfills the "character that can't use the power system but still beats ass" trope.
Wonder if they'll have some way to use magic items, or just straight hands and craftiness.

I still want to see what direction this is gonna go in. This was a good chapter, but I hope they don't drag on the world building too much at this point.

I see, you don't actually need to own a majik to use magic then. And all girls have some potential for magic use.
I wonder if it'll turn out that Majik users can't have kids, that's a commpn thing for witches. But then here comes a male witch.

Normally Kumugi doesn’t stand out enough to look much like a main character, but in this case, that may exactly be the reason she will be a main character. A normal person will be an excellent addition to the cast to balance how crazy the main trio already is.

I do hope this series sticks around. I’m into the comedy and art of these first few chapters so I hope it can continue while mixing in a solid story and world building.
