Witch and Wizard,
the manga, is about two kids named Wisty and Whit who thought they were like
all of the other kids until government agents break into their home and arrest
them and their parents. The charges witchcraft. Now this is not one of those
time were people are wrongly accused, they certainly can do magic but why that
is illegal is very suspect. Separated from their parents, Wisty and Whit must
learn to control their magic and escape, after all it seems the world is
relying on them.
So I originally thought all three books in this series were all
adapted pieces of the source novel Witch
and Wizard. Having never read the actual book, this delusion continued
right up until I started researching this series to write this post. It turns
out that each manga book is based off a book in the novel series. The first
follows Witch and Wizard, the second
was based off of The Gift, and the
last “completed” the series with The Fire.
Patterson has two more book in the novel series, though I cannot find anything
that says these will be adapted. I find this directly correlated manga to be
quite strange. Typically when a book is adapted into this format it becomes
several volumes. I have to wonder how much of the storyline was cut out for a
one to one adaptation.
