Witches
魔女
This is the book that finally made me realize just how fucking shameful it was that I hadn't read Igarashi before. He's in my top five now, and was the moment I started reading Witches.
Witches is a collection of short stories linked only by the title word - each story takes place in a different part of the world, and is an exploration of the beliefs and practices of witches/shamans in that region, based upon heavy research and brought to life by his astonishing ability to draw the world as the witches must perceive it.
