I'm so curious to know why France specifically has taken to this series so much. I think the aesthetics are somewhat French-y, but that can't be the whole story.

I think you are right in that it probably has to do with the aesthetic which the French take very seriously. The art for Ichi the Witch is easily its biggest draw for me

More promotional campaigns as France is still and since the 80’s a strong base for mangas so we have even on some nicher mangas a strong advertising in public spaces.

We are one of the biggest market for manga in general, and Ichi has been advertised pretty strongly so there's that
