What it is about
Witch Watch debuted in Weekly Shōnen Jump issue 2588 on January 25, 2021. Created by Kenta Shinohara (Sket Dance, Astra Lost in Space), it follows Morihito, a stoic high schooler with ogre strength, who becomes the familiar and housemate of Nico, a cheerful apprentice witch whose spells rarely go as planned — all under the shadow of a prophecy that disaster will strike her. A magical ensemble comedy with a warm romantic core, it has been collected in over 25 volumes and received a TV anime adaptation in April 2025. Its debut issue also carried One Piece, My Hero Academia and Black Clover.
