AniFem Round-Up Covers Wicked Spot, Lady Snowblood, and Witch Hat Atelier Primer
Anime Feminist's weekly round-up for March 25-31, 2026, features a review of the new manga *Wicked Spot*, a profile of actress Meiko Kaji, and a primer on *Witch Hat Atelier*. The *Wicked Spot* review, from Gizmodo's Isaiah Colbert, describes the series by mangaka Sal Jiang as a sapphic rom-com that blends witchy elements with influencer culture, comparing it favorably to *The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't A Guy At All* and Kamome Shirahama's *Eniale & Dewiela*. The profile of Kaji, published by Aftermath, covers her 60-year career, including her iconic role in *Lady Snowblood* and her reflections on the grind of early acting. The round-up also includes a video primer on *Witch Hat Atelier* featuring Alex Henderson, plus links to articles on the Tokyo Pokémon Center stalking murder, Japan's citizenship law changes, and a survey of foreign residents in Saitama. Other items cover a worker fired after disclosing autism, former Nippon Ichi Software president's comments on game industry creativity, and a call for concrete woke action.
