The Witch's House: The Diary of Ellen, Chapter 1 by Yuna Kagesaki, Fummy
5.0
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Oh boy. did I have a shock today when I randomly discovered that THEY MADE A MANGA OF THIS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO. MY HEART IS SO HAPPY. It is BEAUTIFUL. heartbreaking to me that this is only available currently in E-format, but I hope with time this will change so PLEASE PEOPLE BUY IT AND SHOW INTEREST. URGHHH.
For the unaware, The witch's house orginally was a free RPG horror game hailing from Japan (Which BTW is INCREDIBLE, SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PLAY IT. ( play here )
The incredible storytelling that came from the game raised a lot of questions for me, and the creator later published a book in japan explaining the events happening before the story (which for anyone in the know, is FASCINATING to read when you find out the whole story of the game) and it was incredible. I read a fan translation a few years back as the thing itself was never translated, but the book itself is beautiful. However it didn't end there as now there is a manga. SCREECHING ENSUES.
for those who aren't familiar with the story, in the game you play as a girl named viola who gets lost one day in the woods. with no clear way out she finds a mysterious house and enters, but it is clear that the house is not always on her side, and there are rumors that a witch lives inside.
on to the manga, it answers questions such as these: WHo is the black cat? What is Ellen's backstory? Where was she before the house? How did the house come to be? and most importantly, we ask ourselves yet again (SCREECHING ENSUES) WHO IS THE TRUE VILLAIN? Spoiler: its (kind of) not who you may have thought by the ending of playing the game.
THE ART IS BEAUTIFUL. ITS STUNNING AND GORY AND DARK AND I LOVE IT. and I get it, i'm already a fan so I didn't need this pushed my way, but it blew me away, seriously. I am extremely impressed, and cannot to relive the rest of this incredible story in such a fascinating way!
