Witch Watch Renewed for 2nd Season

A second season of the Witch Watch TV anime has been confirmed.

The first season was a two-cour show that debuted on April 6 JST. It adapts the fantasy rom-com manga by Kenta Shinohara, which Viz Media summarizes as follows:
Morihito Otogi’s family is descended from a long line of ogre familiars, and he has the inhuman strength to prove it. One day, his father comes to him with the life-changing news that he is to become the familiar of his childhood friend, the teenage witch Nico. He is to live under the same roof with her and protect her from anything and anyone that may attempt to harm her. Meanwhile, Nico is excited to get to live with the love of her life, even if her crush is one-sided—Morihito is so serious about his duties to protect her that any romance is going to be an uphill battle. But he has every reason to be serious, as Nico has a prophecy of doom hanging over her head!

The first season was helmed by Ikehata Hiroshi at Bibury Animation Studio. The primary cast featured Rina Kawaguchi as Nico Wakatsuki and Ryota Suzuki as Morihito Otogi.

Viewers can watch the anime on platforms such as Crunchyroll, Netflix, Bilibili, and iQIYI.

The Witch Watch manga began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and has reached 23 volumes as of September 2025.
