Brocken Blood

In the seventeenth century, the German alchemist Johann Schultz achieved the impossible by successfully creating a witch. Driven by ambition, he infused this extraordinary power directly into his own bloodstream, forever altering his lineage. Centuries later, that ancient legacy courses through the veins of Kenichi Shurutsu, a modern-day high school student and third-generation German descendant. Bound by his heritage as a blood relative of "Brocken," Kenichi is drawn into a hidden war orchestrated by his cousin, Rena Yomoda. Operating entirely in the shadows, he dedicates himself to hunting down those who exploit the artificial witch theorem for malicious purposes. His secret crusade forces him to balance the ordinary life of a teenager with the dangerous responsibilities of his inherited power. Yet, despite his resolve to act as a relentless hunter, Kenichi faces an inexplicable complication. For reasons he cannot yet understand, the dormant power within his blood causes him to transform not into a fearsome warrior, but into a Magical Girl "Heroine." Now, armed with abilities he never anticipated and trapped in a bewildering form, he must navigate both his perilous mission and the bizarre reality of his own transformations.
