Type-Moon's Mahoutsukai no Yoru (Witch on the Holy Night) is getting a manga adaptation, and it has a notable artist attached: Keigo Maki, the creator of Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san, will draw the series, according to an announcement on the project's official X account reported by MyAnimeList News.

It's an intriguing pairing. Maki built a following on Shikimori-san's expressive, character-driven romantic comedy, while Mahoutsukai no Yoru is one of Type-Moon's most atmospheric works — a visual novel celebrated for its moody, painterly presentation and its place in the broader Fate/Tsukihime universe lineage.

The visual novel has been enjoying a second life in recent years, with a modern re-release and an anime film adaptation expanding its audience well beyond the original 2012 release. A manga gives the story yet another entry point, and putting a proven serialized artist on it suggests Type-Moon wants this version to stand on its own rather than serve as a simple promotional tie-in.
