Story Overview
Based on Kenta Shinohara’s (SKET Dance) manga, WITCH WATCH follows high school student Morihito Otogi, a descendant of ogres who leads an ordinary life—until his childhood friend, Nico, moves in with him. Nico, a witch-in-training, appoints Morihito as her familiar, much to his dismay. While Nico is excited to rekindle their friendship, Morihito must also protect her from a prophesied catastrophe. Between magical mishaps and the challenges of living together, their daily life spirals into a mix of supernatural comedy and looming danger.
Fans can look forward to a blend of humor, fantasy, and heartwarming moments when WITCH WATCH debuts next spring.
