CATDOLL: The first volume of the new work by the author of "The Ancient Magus' Bride" based on Faust is released

The Ancient Magus' Bride was ranked first in the most recommended manga by Japanese bookstore staff this year. Another manga by the author Yamazaki Kore, Frau Faust, was also released in April. It is a dark fantasy story based on the famous medieval European legend of Faust. The story background of the Ancient Magus' Bride is the same as that of the Western fantasy world.

Story: Johanna Faust, a girl cursed with immortality, sets out on a journey to find the scattered bodies of the devil Mephistopheles. On the way, she must avoid the pursuit of the Inquisitor, and the boy Mario who is involved in this matter becomes Johanna's companion.

Yohanna Faust: A girl cursed with immortality, searching for the body of Mephistopheles, the demon she made a contract with.

Mario: A curious boy. Although he is used by Johanna, he wants to learn from her knowledge and experience during his journey.

Mephistopheles: A legendary devil who made a contract with Johanna. His body was sealed because of a certain sin he committed.

Inquisitor Lorenzo: In order to prevent the resurrection of Mephistopheles, he hunts down the demon body Johanna.

From the interaction between Johanna and Mephistopheles, it can be seen that they have a good relationship, the devil's lap pillow XD. What kind of feelings Johanna has for Mephistopheles is one of the key points of the work.
