What is Witch Watch about?
“Morihito Otogi, a high school student who comes from a lineage of ogres, enjoys a peaceful, ordinary life until his childhood friend, Nico, moves in with him. Nico is a witch-in-training, and chooses Morihito to be her familiar,” reads the official synopsis. “While Nico is thrilled to reunite with her old friend and crush, Morihito is tasked with the perilous duty to protect her from a foretold calamity. Between the unpredictable chaos caused by Nico’s magic, and the awkwardness of sharing a home, their lives become a whirlwind of supernatural hijinks and threats. Puppy love meets magical mischief and danger in Witch Watch, the endlessly charming and riotously funny new anime series.”
Witch Watch is based on the popular manga by Kenta Shinohara. The romantic comedy anime hails from director Hiroshi Ikehata and character designer Haruko Iizuka (Horimiya), with Yukari Hashimoto (A Sign of Affection) providing the music. It is a production by Bibury Animation Studios (The Quintessential Quintuplets).
