Synopsis – Witch Watch

We follow the fantastical adventures of Nico Wakatsuki, a young witch who, after completing her magical training, moves in with her childhood friend Morihito Otogi, a human-looking ogre.

Due to their families' ancestral history, Morihito must become Nico's familiar and protect her. Nico also hopes that this new closeness will allow them to become a couple, since she has been secretly in love with him for a long time.

As the story unfolds, Nico and Morihito must deal with various supernatural and legendary beings while trying to solve the unpredictable problems caused by Nico's magic in their daily lives. Their cohabitation is not easy, between Nico's clumsiness with his spells and the challenges posed by the creatures they encounter.
