Tomato Soup writes and draws the A Witch’s Life in Mongol (Tenmaku no Jadugaru) manga series, which began serialization on Akita Shoten’s Souffle website in September 2021. Five volumes have been released as of April 2025. Yen Press licensed the manga in English, describing the story:
Eight centuries ago, in the latter days of the Islamic golden age, a young girl arrived in the Khwarazmian city of Tus. She was a slave. But she learned. Eight centuries ago, the Mongols blazed across the map, swept Khwarazm into the ash heap of history, and took all they desired from the ruins. They took the girl who learned. So begins the true story of how a “witch,” wielding knowledge as her only weapon, came to hold the greatest empire the world has ever known in the palm of her hand…
Studio Science SARU, recently acquired by TOHO, is well known for producing high-quality anime, including hits like Devilman: Crybaby, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, and the recent DAN DA DAN. They are also working on the upcoming anime adaptation of Paru Itagaki’s SANDA, as well as on the new GHOST IN THE SHELL project.
