This section may contain major spoilers for the Kazumi Magica manga!
Please refrain from reading if you haven't read the latest chapter yet.The witches of Kazumi Magica. They come in two varieties: witches that are the same as the one that appear in the anime, and "pseudo-witches", which as the name implies are imitation witches.
Pseudo-Witches
"Pseudo-witches" are a type of witch unique to the Kazumi Magica manga. They are actually human women that are implanted with an imitation Grief Seed called an "Evil Nut". When they are defeated, the Evil Nut separates from the woman, much like when a witch drops a Grief Seed. Unlike regular witches, the women return to normal after they are defeated. They appear to lose their memory of the events that occurred while they are under the Evil Nut's influence, similar to those affected by a Witch's Kiss.
Preying Mantis Witch
This is an unnamed witch appearing in chapter 1 of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.
|
A pseudo-witch that Yuuri created from a policewoman who wanted to be successful in her male-dominated job. She blackmailed Souichirou Tachibana into making a bomb threat at a mall, but was foiled when Kazumi defused it via magic. She later attempted to kill Kazumi, but was defeated by her instead.

This is an unnamed witch appearing in chapter 2 of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.
|
A pseudo-witch that Yuuri created from a cosmetics saleswoman who protested the sale and use of cheap, unhealthy cosmetics. She attempted to attack a ganguro concert, but was defeated by Kazumi, Umika and Kaoru.

Anime-style Witches
"Prologue"
"Prologue" is a witch appearing in chapter 3 of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.
|
Minions
The witch's minion. Bookmark humans. |
A witch fought by the Pleiades Saints in chapter 3. It captured Umika and Kaoru. The other five Saints tracked it down after discovering that its barrier moved around on the same schedule as the Asunaro Library's bookmobile. Kazumi killed it with a precision strike from outside the barrier after the other Saints signalled her.
Trivia and Speculation
- This witch was designed as a drawing found in children's picture books, according to Takashi Tensugi.
- "Prologue" may not be the witch's real name - the translation of the design notes refer to the Chapter 3 witch as "Callsign 'Prologue'", suggesting Prologue may be a design nickname.

Airi's Witch Form
This is an unnamed witch appearing in chapter 5 and 6 of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.
|
Yuuri/Airi's witch form resembles a giant heart, which may have certain implications. The rings on Yuuri's weaponry also appear on the witch.
When Kazumi attempts to turn Yuuri back to a human, it causes Yuuri's body to rise out from the witch, while still being connected to it. She appears to have almost no sense of self left, continuously repeating the last spell she used on Kazumi. Notably, her speech bubbles use the runic language.

Yuuri Asuka's Witch Form
This is an unnamed witch appearing in chapter 5 of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.
|
Yuuri Asuka's witch form resembles a giant hypodermic needle, similar to her weapon as a Puella Magi. Giant forks come out of her body, which probably refers to either Yuuri's cooking talents or transforming into a witch during a cooking contest. The forks also contrast with the spoon amulet she carried, acting as a sort of evil counterpart; in fact, when the witch drops Yuuri's amulet, it possesses a dark fork in the handle in the opposite direction of the spoon (which then vanishes as the last part of Yuuri's witch form).

This is an unnamed witch appearing in chapters 8 and 9 of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.
