Magic meets slapstick in this supernatural rom-com

- Genre: Comedy × Magic × School Life × Romance
- Release: Spring 2025
🔮 What’s it about?
Morihito is a stoic ogre. Nico is a chaotic witch.
They’re childhood friends who are now living together for “magical protection reasons.”

🌟 Why it’s worth watching:
- Created by a master of gag manga (SKET DANCE)
- Great for fans of Iruma-kun or Saiki K.
- Magic is used for comedy, not combat — and it’s refreshing!
🕯 ② Until the Witch Dies
A quiet, emotional, and beautifully tragic witch tale

- Genre: Drama × Magic × Yuri × Slice of Death
- Release: Summer 2025
🔮 What’s it about?
A dying witch.
A girl sent to witness her final days.
That’s it — and yet, the emotional weight is crushing.
The story focuses on daily life and intimate moments as the two grow closer, knowing the end is near.

Black comedy + country life + magical girls = ???
