Synopsis

[edit]

The series focuses on Nico Wakatsuki, a teenage witch who, after completing her magical training, moves into a house with her childhood friend Morihito Otogi, a human-looking ogre. Due to their families' ancestral history, Morihito is to become Nico's familiar and protect her. Nico also hopes this will help them become a couple, as he is her longtime crush, though he does not reciprocate in the slightest. As the story progresses, Nico and Morihito find themselves forced to deal with the various supernatural and legendary beings they encounter while also trying to solve all the unpredictable problems Nico's magic causes in their daily lives.[3]

She often tries to help people with her magic, but usually does so without fully knowing the details or side effect of the spells. She is in love with her childhood friend Morihito, whom she affectionately calls "Moi" since as a child she was unable to correctly pronounce his name. She also struggles to reveal her feelings for him. Her mother Ibuki is the "Witch of Premonition" that foreseen that a disaster will befall upon Nico.

An ogre with extreme physical strength due to practicing Ogre Qigong. His family is a familiar to Nico's family, who is also his childhood friend. He is very overprotective towards Nico but at the same does not reciprocate her feelings. While Morihito is a serious and responsible person, he is very fond of denims and other heavily detailed trivia items. He often acts like the mother in the household, nagging and scolding the residents for the sake of their own. It is later revealed in a note that Nico gave him in the past that she "will always be Morihito's friend" which works as a unintentional curse that makes Morihito only see Nico as a friend, thus making him unable to realize that he is also in love with her.

He is a classmate of Nico and Morihito, and eventually moves in with them. As a child, he was training as a professional figure skater, but quit after his mother suffered an injury that left her bound to a wheelchair. Eventually, he starts to develop feelings for Nemu, although he himself doesn't realize this.

A young vampire, who feeds by absorbing people's life force, from a family of futsumashi or exorcists.
