Sinopsis of WITCH WATCH
Nico Wakatsuki has finished her six
years of witch training and moves into the city alone. As a new witch, she must
choose a familiar to keep her company. Unlike the other witches, however, she
wishes to choose a familiar that is not an animal. There is no better companion
than Morihito “Moi” Otogi, her childhood friend who happens to be an ogre.
Morihito vehemently opposes 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 command.
With Morihito's father away on business
and Nico's mother staying behind in the Holy Land of Witches, the two teenagers
find themselves living together under the same roof. Though Nico is thrilled to
be living with her love, Morihito finds that her magical antics and clumsiness
create more problems than they solve. With disaster prophesied to befall Nico
within a year, Morihito must do his best to protect her as her bodyguard, while
also fulfilling his duties as her familiar.
