Immoral Guild ( Japanese: 不徳のギルド, Hepburn: Futoku no Girudo, "Guild of Depravity") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Taichi Kawazoe. It has been serialized in Square Enix's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Gangan since June 2017, with its chapters collected into 13 tankōbon volumes as of March 2024.

Plot

Kikuru Madan, the strongest hunter in the Mebuki Town Guild, is worried that he is wasting his youth hunting monsters. He plans on retiring from his current line of work in order to pursue college and relationships, but the guild receptionist, Enome, convinces him to go on a quest with a new martial artist named Hitamu Kyan. However, Hitamu proves to be unskilled in fighting monsters and is attracting them instead with her mana, which causes them to latch onto her in erotic ways. Kikuru decides to put his retirement on hold to train her and the others who join the party so that they can succeed him after he retires.

Characters

Kikuru Madan (キクル・マダン)
Voiced by: Katsumi Fukuhara [2]
Kikuru is a 20-year-old hunter. He is described as being an ace hunter within the Mebuki Town Guild, but he is insecure about the fact he has no experience dating women and decides to retire so that he can enroll in college and pursue love. Due to his lack of experience, he is socially awkward in his interactions with women. He uses a bow and arrow to fight, as well as a dagger.
Hitamu Kyan (ヒタム・キャン)
Voiced by: Karin Isobe [2]
Nicknamed "Hitamuki" (ひたむき), Hitamu is a martial artist who has dog ears and a tail. She is a motivated learner who believes in hard work and has a positive and upbeat attitude, despite her tendency to be placed in embarrassing situations with the monsters. Her ability to constantly replenish her mana causes her to be the most frequent target of the monsters, to her dismay. Hitamu has an honest and clumsy disposition, with a tendency to rush into danger without thinking.
Maidena Angers (メイデナ・アンジェ, Meidena Anje)
Voiced by: Ayano Shibuya [2]
Maidena is a white mage prodigy who was hired by the guild due to her extraordinary talent, despite only being a high school student.

Voiced by: Yō Taichi [2]

Reception

As of September 2023, the manga had sold over 1.75 million copies. [40] Christopher Farris from Anime News Network gave the anime adaptation a C rating, opining that unless the audience is interested in the anime’s fanservice elements, "anything else Immoral Guild has to offer won’t really work for you." However, he praised some of the anime’s comedic elements, calling it "surprisingly high-effort", and praised the world-building for its "genuinely unique setup". [41]
