Sorcerer on the Rocks
Sorcerer on the Rocks (妖術者 オンザロック, Mahotsukai on za Rokkus) also known as Chivas 1-2-3 (シーバス1-2-3, Chivas 1-2-3) is a spin-off of Sorcerer Hunters. The name was changed from Chivas 1-2-3 because ADV Films didn't want to get into a legal fight with the Whiskey company of the same name. So, the name of the OVAs and the first name of the hero were changed for the English Dub. The original story is by Satoru Akahori and Miku Yuki, and was published in Media Works' Monthly Dengeki Comic Gao!

Long ago, in a time of magic and mystery, there lived a group of courageous individuals known as the Sorcerer Hunters. Pure of heart and dedicated to justice, their job was to rid the kingdom of the powerful sorcerers and demonic monsters that oppressed the people and terrorized the land.
This isn't their story. This is the story of ruthless sorcerer name Shibas (Chivas)[1] Scotch, a bounty hunter whose job it is to rid the land of the powerful sorcerers and baneful monsters that oppress and terrorize the people... for a price.
Shibas (Chivas) is hired by a count named Cuttlefish to destroy an evil monster attacking a nearby village. But things go awry when Shibas (Chivas) fails to destroy the monster and he's forced to transfer his spirit in the body of his beautiful servant Gin Fizz.
