Mainichi Broadcasting System opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Kenta Shinohara's Witch Watch manga on Monday, revealing the main cast, staff, a teaser visual (pictured), and teaser promotional video. The anime series is scheduled for an April 2025 premiere. Shinohara began serializing the supernatural comedy manga in Weekly Shounen Jump in February 2021. Shueisha published the 17th volume on July 4, with the 18th volume planned for a September 4 release. VIZ Media simulpublishes the manga in English on its Shounen Jump website and released the tenth volume digitally on May 28, with the 11th volume scheduled to be released on August 27. Shueisha's Manga Plus website also simulpublishes the manga in English. Synopsis Nico Wakatsuki has finished her six years of witch training and is moving back to town by herself. As a new witch, she must choose a familiar to accompany her. However, unlike the other witches, she wishes to pick a non-animal familiar. There's no better companion than Morihito "Moi" Otogi—her childhood friend who happens to be an ogre. Morihito is vehemently opposed to being her servant, but he reluctantly accepts his fate after learning that a curse would revert him into a strange cow-tiger hybrid were he to disobey a witch's order. Due to Morihito's father leaving for a business trip and Nico's mother remaining behind in the Witches' Holy Land, the two teens find themselves living together under the same roof. While Nico is ecstatic to be living with her crush, Morihito finds that her magical antics and overall clumsiness create more problems than solutions. With a prophesied disaster to befall Nico within the year, Morihito must do everything he can to protect her as her bodyguard while also upholding his duties as her familiar.
