Based on the popular manga by Kenta Shinohara (SKET Dance), WITCH WATCH is a hilariously magical rom-com following teenage witch Nico and her Ogre familiar Morihito, who is tasked with her protection after a dire prophecy is cast over her. With a witch-in-training and an Ogre now living under one roof, what could possibly go wrong? WITCH WATCH brings together a hilariously offbeat cast of mystical characters, and as they deal with various magical mishaps, this hilarious and spellbinding new rom-com will leave you in stitches week after week. The original manga is currently serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, with a cumulative circulation exceeding 3 million copies.
The series is brought to life by Bibury Animation Studios (The Quintessential Quintuplets), is directed by Hiroshi Ikehata (FLCL Progressive), and features character designs from Haruko Iizuka (Horimiya) with music from Yukari Hashimoto (A Sign of Affection). The opening theme song “Watch me!” was written specifically for the upcoming series by the global hit J-POP unit YOASOBI.
