The Enchanting Start of 'The Witch with Poisonous Roses'

April 20, 2026, marks an exciting day for manga enthusiasts as the latest issue of the web comic magazine, Comic Ride Ivy Vol.39, hits the digital shelves. This release introduces a compelling new series titled 'The Witch with Poisonous Roses: Turning Down the Knight's Persistent Proposal', crafted by the talented Ayuko Shizumori with the storyline woven by Hide no Hada.

Synopsis of the New Series

Set in the enchanting yet dark world of the Grandia Kingdom, the series revolves around the 'Poisonous Rose Witch', a cursed witch residing deep within the Twilight Forest. Born with a disfigured appearance that elicits fear and animosity from the townsfolk, she has retreated from society, content with her solitude.

However, her solitary existence takes a turn when she encounters a severely injured knight apprentice named Hail Brandier, who has collapsed after battling fierce monsters. Despite her initial reluctance, she takes on the role of caretaker, nursing him back to health.

Upon awakening, Hail introduces himself warmly, “From today onward, I’ll stay with you, Witch.” This is not just a casual remark; he is aware of her notorious reputation. The dynamic shifts as Hail, with his earnest intentions, proposes they live together for a while. This sets the stage for a charming and potentially tumultuous relationship between a devoted knight and a reclusive sorceress, leading to a story filled with romantic tension and thrilling escapades.
