From the author of SKET Dance, WITCH WATCH would have anime

A recent leak claimed that the manga written and illustrated by Kenta Shinohara, "WITCH WATCH", will have an anime adaptation. According to the leak, the premiere would be scheduled for 2025, although the whole issue is pending official confirmation.

For her part, Kenta Shinohara began publishing the manga through Shueisha's Shonen Jump Plus service in February 2021, where it is still in serialization. The author has written previous works such as "Kanata no Astra" and "SKET Dance", which also got anime adaptations.

Synopsis of WITCH WATCH

Nico Wakatsuki has finished her six years of training as a witch and is moving to the city alone. As a new witch, she must choose a relative to accompany her. However, unlike the other witches, she wishes to choose a familiar that is not an animal. There's no better companion than Morihito "Moi" Otogi, his childhood friend who happens to be an ogre. Morihito is vehemently opposed to being her servant, but reluctantly accepts his fate after learning that a curse would turn him into a strange cow-tiger hybrid if he disobeyed a witch's order.

Because Morihito's father is leaving on a business trip and Nico's mother is staying in the Holy Land of Witches, the two teenagers find themselves living together under the same roof. Although Nico is thrilled to live with her love, Morihito discovers that her magical antics and clumsiness create more problems than solutions. With a prophesied disaster that will befall Nico in a year, Morihito must do everything he can to protect her as his bodyguard, while fulfilling his duties as his relative.
