The Story of Witch Watch

Witch Watch, written by Kenta Shinohara, follows the life of Morihito Otogi, a young man with inhuman strength, who belongs to a family of ogre familiars. His life changes when his father tells him he must become the familiar of his childhood friend, a teenage witch named Nico Wakatsuki. Morihito must protect Nico from any harm that may come her way, and to do so, they begin living together under the same roof.

But things are complicated by the fact that Nico has a one-sided crush on Morihito, who is focused solely on protecting her. Adding to the drama, Nico has a prophecy of doom hanging over her, making Morihito’s role as her protector even more critical.
