The WITCH WATCH anime adapts the manga of the same name by Kenta Shinohara (Happened dance), a magical romantic comedy that follows teenage witch Nico and her familiar Morihito who is tasked with her protection, living with her under the same roof and using his ogre-inherited strength to fulfill his duty. The original manga is currently serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, with a cumulative circulation exceeding 3 million copies.

Bibury Animation Studios (The Quintessential Quintuplets) is animating the series. It is directed by Hiroshi Ikehata (FLCL Progressive) and features character designs from Haruko Iizuka (Horimia) with music from Yukari Hashimoto (A Sign of Affection). The opening theme song “Watch me!” was written specifically for the upcoming series by the J-POP unit YOASOBI and previously featured in a trailer.

The story is described as:

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. 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.
