Synopsis of WITCH WATCH

Nico Wakatsuki has finished her six years of witch training and moved to the city alone. As a new witch, she must choose a familiar to accompany her. However, unlike other witches, she chooses a familiar that isn't an animal. There's no better companion than Morihito "Moi" Otogi, her childhood friend who turns out to be an ogre. Morihito vehemently opposes being her servant, but reluctantly accepts his fate after learning that a curse will transform him into a strange cow-tiger hybrid if he disobeys a witch's orders.

With Morihito's father away on a business trip and Nico's mother in the Holy Land of Witches, the two teenagers live together under the same roof. While Nico is delighted to be living with his love, Morihito discovers that his magical antics and clumsiness create more problems than solutions. With a prophesied disaster befalling Nico within a year, Morihito must do everything he can to protect her as her bodyguard while also fulfilling his duties as her familiar.
