Synopsis of WITCH WATCH
Nico Wakatsuki has finished her six
years of training as a witch and moves to the city alone. As a new witch, she
must choose a familiar to accompany her. However, unlike the other witches, she
wishes to choose a familiar that is not an animal. There is no better companion
than Morihito “Moi” Otogi, her childhood friend who turns out to be an ogre.
Morihito vehemently opposes being his 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 leaves on a
business trip and Nico's mother stays in the Holy Land of Witches, the two
teenagers find themselves living together under the same roof. Although Nico is
delighted to live with her love, Morihito discovers that his magical antics and
her clumsiness create more problems than solutions. With a prophesied disaster
to befall Nico in a year, Morihito must do everything he can to protect her
from her as her bodyguard, while also fulfilling his duties as her familiar.
