with that warm, intimate feeling that Witch Watch conveys. I hope this
song brightens the lives of those who listen to it and makes them feel
happier.

Witch
Watch Synopsis
Nico
Wakatsuki has completed 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 isn't
an animal. There is no better companion than Morihito “Moi” Otogi, her
childhood friend who happens to be an ogre. Morihito vehemently opposes
becoming her servant, but reluctantly accepts his fate after learning that a
curse would turn him into a strange hybrid of a cow and a tiger if he disobeyed
a witch's command.
With
Morihito's father going on a business trip 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
solutions. With a prophesied disaster set to befall Nico in a year, Morihito
must do everything he can to protect her as her bodyguard, while also
fulfilling his duties as her familiar.
