Why it matters
The manga runs in Kodansha's weekly magazine days before the film opens on November 20, so the adaptation is positioned to put the story in front of Shonen Magazine readers ahead of the theatrical release.
A commercial for the manga features the film's leads, Haruka Tomatsu as Aoko Aozaki and Yusuke Kobayashi as Soujyuro Sizuki. The film opens in Japan on November 20.
The manga is drawn by Keigo Maki, whose credits include the Shikimori series, and it begins in the issue dated November 11, nine days before the film opens in Japan. Kodansha also put out a commercial for the manga that uses the film's own voice cast: Haruka Tomatsu as Aoko Aozaki and Yusuke Kobayashi as Soujyuro Sizuki. The source material is Type-Moon's visual novel, set in the late 1980s and centered on Aoko, an heir to a mage family who apprentices under the witch Alice Kuonji.
