About this title

Synopsis

In a land where magicians cast spells on bullets in order to perform magic, like summoning powerful monsters. There was once a witch so powerful that she challenged the gods and was cursed for it. 10 years before the current time of the story, that witch challenged and defeated another magician, and in doing so saved a small boy, who instantly fell in love with her and was inspired to use guns as his "Sword of Justice". That boy was called Zero. When he was ready, he set out on a quest and found that woman who saved his life... or did he? She is not the same person that he idealized; she is selfish, rude, arrogant... and quite a bit shorter. But at the times when she feels Zero's love and self sacrifice for her, she can bring forth incredible power. So the two set out together to find a cure and the reason why the gods only bothered to curse her.

Publication notes

Before official serialization in Monthly Shounen Jump started (2003-07), the first three chapters were published in Monthly Shounen Jump Special Issue "Gokujou," (2000-2001) and the 5th chapter in "Jump Original" (2002). The 4th chapter, about Kurohime's past, was never published because it was deemed inappropriate to release at that point in the serialization and instead was remade and used later on. From chapter 48 (vol.15) onwards, serialization moved to Jump SQ's official website. The chapter count restarted from chapter 1 in the 2nd volume. Mahou Tsukai Kurohime had fourteen volumes printed in English under the title Kurohime by VIZ Media from September 4, 2007 to November 4, 2009, before the series was dropped.

Known as the greatest magician in the world, Kurohime was believed dead after her fight with the gods. She's the only one capable of summoning dragons. While other people, or even groups of skilled magicians, tried for weeks to do so, the results are failures, she can summon lots of them at the same time. The origins of her powers are unknown. She carries two weapons: Senryuu (the gun of illusions), and the kokunshibaku (Gods' black tree) that nullifies all types of magic. After her fight with the gods they cursed her, changing her size into that of a child; while in this form her abilities in magic are almost zero, and unable to use her weapons.

When he was a young boy, he was saved by Kurohime and began to admire her. At the same time, his belief of "the gun is the sword of justice" began. In the ten years that passed before he met Kurohime again, his skill at the quickdraw earned him the nickname Zero of the Superfast Quadruple Guns due to his fighting style of using four revolvers at once. After he met Kurohime again he vowed to protect her as she protected him, and to break her curse. No voice actors have been added to this character.
