The manga Witches Can't Be Collared (Majo ni Kubiwa wa Tsukerarenai), illustrated by Makuei and based on Yuri Yumemi’s work, has reached its conclusion. The October issue of Kadokawa’s Young Ace magazine, released Thursday, featured the final chapter and closed the story after one year of serialization.
Second and Final Volume Set for Release
Fans of Witches Can't Be Collared can still expect more. The second and final collected volume will release in Japan on October 3. This volume will complete the series and allow readers to enjoy the full story in two books.
From Light Novel to Manga
The project started as a series of light novels written by Yuri Yumemi and illustrated by Wata. The first novel debuted in February 2024. Since then, the saga has grown to three published volumes, with the most recent released on June 10 in Japan.
Because of its growing popularity, Yen Press licensed the series for English publication. This move opens the door for international readers who want to explore the world of Witches Can't Be Collared.
Crime, Magic, and Dangerous Alliances
The story takes place in an empire where the nobility tries to control all magic. Their obsession fuels crime across the land. To fight this chaos, the empire creates a special agency to investigate magical offenses.
The protagonist, Rogue, works as a detective. After his superior Velladonna schemes against him, he finds himself reassigned to the sixth division. There, he partners with the Puppeteer, a witch feared for her dangerous abilities.
In this empire, witches wear restrictive collars that limit their powers. But the Puppeteer does not bow easily. She manipulates both magic and people, pulling Rogue into a risky partnership. Their relationship brims with tension, trust issues, and constant intrigue.
Final Thoughts
With its ending, Witches Can't Be Collared leaves behind a short yet impactful story. It blends crime, fantasy, and complex character dynamics into a tale of power and survival.
And with Yen Press bringing the series to English, international readers will soon step into a world where witches and detectives collide.
