There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that involvement in witchcraft contributes to the development of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that is believed to be the result of a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors. Witchcraft, on the other hand, is a belief system or practice that involves the use of magic and sorcery. While witchcraft may have cultural and social implications, there is no research to suggest that it directly causes schizophrenia. Mental health professionals and researchers focus on various factors such as genetics, brain chemistry, and traumatic experiences as potential contributors to the development of schizophrenia. It is important to rely on scientific evidence and a holistic understanding of mental health when exploring the causes of schizophrenia, rather than attributing it to unproven beliefs or practices.
The series launched in November 2016 in Kodansha‘s Young Magazine the 3rd, but it moved to the Monthly Young Magazine in 2021. Moreover, in 2019 Kodansha announced the manga license for The Witch and the Beast at the New York Comic Con, and has thus released manga volumes in English, both digital print and ebooks.
The 10th Volume picks up from where the story left off in The Witch and the Beast 9th Volume, and it takes us into another intense and mysterious story. Kousuke Satake s debut and sole work, The Witch and the Beast is a dark fantasy manga series with an intense and dramatic storyline, rife with action.

Reviews for "Witchcraft Rituals and Schizophrenia: A Cross-Cultural Perspective"
1. John Doe - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with this study. The title itself is misleading and offensive. The implication that involvement in witchcraft can contribute to schizophrenia is not only baseless but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes about mental illness. As someone who has struggled with schizophrenia, I find it deeply upsetting that such a study would even be conducted. Mental health conditions like schizophrenia are complex and have multiple factors that contribute to their development. It is irresponsible to oversimplify it and blame it on witchcraft.
2. Jane Smith - 2 stars
I had high hopes for this study, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The research methodology seemed lacking, and the sample size was too small to draw any meaningful conclusions. Additionally, the study failed to consider other important factors such as genetic predisposition and environmental influences on the development of schizophrenia. While the topic itself is intriguing, this particular study failed to provide any substantial evidence or insights. I would recommend seeking more reputable sources for information on schizophrenia and its causes.
3. David Johnson - 1 star
This study completely missed the mark. It is irresponsible and negligent to suggest a causal relationship between involvement in witchcraft and schizophrenia. Mental health conditions have long been stigmatized and misunderstood, and studies like this only serve to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Instead of focusing on outdated and harmful beliefs, we should be advocating for better understanding, support, and resources for individuals struggling with schizophrenia. This study is a disappointment and does a disservice to the mental health community.
4. Sarah Thompson - 1 star
I found this study to be highly problematic. The association between witchcraft and schizophrenia is not only unfounded but also offensive. Mental illnesses are complex and multifactorial, influenced by a variety of genetic, environmental, and social factors. To attribute the development of schizophrenia to involvement in witchcraft is not only dismissive but also disregards the serious research being conducted in the field of mental health. This study lacks credibility and fails to contribute any meaningful knowledge to the understanding of schizophrenia.
