KADOKAWA Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Director, Representative Executive Officer, President and CEO) TOKYO, September 25th (Thu) – MF Bunko J Label (CEO: Takeshi Natsuno) is pleased to announce the release of “Howling Blaze: The Burial Flame Swordsman and the Immortal Witch” (author: Yuu Shimizu, original story and illustrations: Asagi Tohsaka) on Thursday, September 25th. This latest light novel is based on a doujinshi by renowned illustrator Asagi Tohsaka. Original characters born from the popular doujinshi have been sublimated into a novel by Yuu Shimizu, a hit author boasting a total of 3.5 million copies sold (including digital). In conjunction with this, a promotional video (narrated by Emma Aizawa) commemorating the release of this work has also been released.
“Howling Blaze” is a highly anticipated new series from the duo of Yuu Shimizu and Asagi Tohsaka, creators of “The Demon Sword Master of Sacred Sword Academy” (MF Bunko J), which has sold over 1 million copies (including digital copies) and has been adapted into a TV anime. A doujinshi by popular illustrator Asagi Tohsaka has inspired a light novel! Asagi Tohsaka is an incredibly popular author on social media and at doujinshi sales events, with her light novels being adapted into anime one after another. Her doujinshi, “Prelude,” created by Tohsaka in 2024, served as the inspiration for this work, “Howling Blaze.” The beautiful illustrations in the doujinshi, when released, caused a stir on social media and quickly spread around the world. “Howling Blaze” is a cutting-edge light novel created using these popular illustrations and characters. Author with a total of 3.5 million copies sold! Super hit maker Yuu Shimizu’s characters evolve into a story! In addition to the TV anime adaptations of “Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance” and “Seiken Gakuin no Demon Sword Master,” author Yuu Shimizu is also responsible for the original manga and the screenplay for a popular idol game. The mismatched duo of main heroines Kaoru and Fiona are portrayed with even more charm with Shimizu’s light and nimble brushstrokes. Of course, there are also some awesome battle scenes! “Howling Blaze” is set in a chaotic city where Western and Eastern cultures blend together. It incorporates familiar elements from popular smartphone games and movies in recent years. At the same time, it also features battle developments and characters that are in keeping with the classic fantasy light novel tradition. If I had to describe it, I’d call it a “Hong Kong noir punk fantasy girls’ sword action” genre. It’s a comfortable fantasy novel that also offers a fresh reading experience! Ema Aizawa, from VSPO!, appears in this video! The gorgeous PV is now available! To
commemorate the release of “Howling Blaze,” we’ve released a promotional video on YouTube narrated by VSPO!’s Emma Aizawa. Please take a look.

Thirty-two years ago, the world was covered in an overflowing black illusion. Kaoru Tsukimiya, the Witch Hunter, hunts demons born from the otherworldly “Black Paradise” that threatens humanity’s survival zone. While visiting “Magaryu Island” in search of revenge, he meets Fiona, the “White Flower Witch.” She is the owner of a coffee shop and runs a “(almost) jack-of-all-trades” business, and she makes a suggestion to Kaoru. “I want you to be my bodyguard.” “Huh?” Though perplexed, Kaoru decides to stay with her. The next morning, a case is brought to Nekoyukan. The first thing the Witches and Witch Hunters must face is a series of disappearances that have occurred in the Skeleton Tower, a gigantic, multi-layered structure in Q City. The series kicks off with the buddy magic and sword dance action duo of Yuu Shimizu and Asagi Tohsaka! : KADOKAWA Corporation (MF Bunko J) Release date: Thursday, September 25, 2025 Price: ¥792 (¥720 tax) Size: Paperback ISBN: 9784046849830 Bibliography page:
