She proceeds to incinerate some strange rabbit monsters and reveals that she is a witch, he is her princess and her mission is to protect him.The manga ran in Kodansha's Good!! Afternoon magazine from 2010 to 2022, and was compiled into 17 volumes. An anime adaptation premiered in January 2014.

Tempting Fate | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Happens several times. When Takamiya mentions how he thought Kagari would be regularly getting love letters, and then he ends up getting hate mail when he opens his locker. Kazane mentioning how well things are going, only to then see a giant explosion happen either on the news or within view of her office. Later she mentions the city being peaceful again in episode 7, only to have a giant explosion occur right outside her office again. Takamiya tells Kagari that he hopes things will be quiet for a while at the end of episode 12. Immediately after he says that, Tanpopo and her gang shows up demanding a rematch with Kagari. However, Status Quo Is God is in play here, and Kagari defeats them easily even without using magic. | |

| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_174d487f | comment |
Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Takamiya has some when walking to school with Kagari for the first time. It's largely due to all the scorn being heaped on him by her jealous fan club that spans the entire school. | |

Defeat Means Friendship: While it takes a couple of defeats before it happens, Tanpopo and her gang of Tower witches are seen living with Takamiya and Kagari in his house, secretly in episode 7, but with his mom's blessing by episode 8. They even help Kagari with Takamiya's duel against Rinon in episode 8. Even Chronoire is running the school for a day as a favor for Kazane. | |

Order Versus Chaos | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_1a237409 | comment |
Order Versus Chaos: The ideological divide between the Workshop and Tower witches largely boils down to this. Workshop witches believe in upholding the established order and policing the actions of witches to safeguard the lives of muggles. The Tower witches meanwhile believe in having the complete freedom to pursue whatever power or goals they like. As such, not all Workshop witches are good (like some members of the Kagari clan), and not all Tower witches evil (with the likes of Chronoire and Medusa being Affably Evil and Kazane herself being a former Tower witch who was defined by beating the crap out of any evil beast or witch she found.) | |

Self-Parody | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_1d52b714 | comment |
Self-Parody: The anime official soundtrack has a "Watch Activity" song, which is not used in the anime itself. The Anime has an ending theme by the name of "Witch☆Activity" though, of which the "Watch Activity" is a recognizable spoof (music itself, guys instead of girls as vocals, both witches and The Watch being part of the story, a song in Engrish instead of a song with Gratuitous English, lyrics). | |

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: "Witch☆Activity" anime ending theme is sung by the ensemble of Medusa's underlings. It can double as Image Song for that gang of Tower witches. Another song from the Ending Theme single album is briefly shown to be something those bored, put on standby witches even sing in karaoke when off the clock. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Many of the Workshop Witches, while utterly dedicated to protecting their city and the people in it, can be just ruthless and cruel as their opponents, the Tower Witches, when fighting. More specifically, Kasumi outright states that she doesn't really care what side she's on; her only concern is protecting Takamiya. | |

Black Comedy | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: The anime is extremely (yet bloodlessly) violent, and Takamiya is frequently subjected to gratuitous beatdowns that would normally break more than a few bones. No one seems to even try to understand Takamiya's plight, despite his constant bewilderment at his situation. Though considering the power of Kagari's mother, at least some of the violence can be rendered harmless. The ending animation revels in Burn the Witch!, and the Tower Witches are cheerfully singing the ending while locked into various torture devices . | |

| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_25c7b33a | comment |
Cruel to Be Kind: In episode 9, Kagari leads Takamiya to a hidden area below the school grounds after they suffer a massive city-wide bombing. He is attacked by some of the Workshop witches, causing Kagari to retaliate against them, but the damage he sustained transfers over to her before she can knock them all out. Kasumi is also knocked out before she can do anything to protect him. Rinon then explains to him that they have to hide him because someone dangerous is looking for him. Due to what they just went through, he complies and both he and Kagari are put into a room meant to hide their presence. Unfortunately it doesn't work as Weekend's teddy bear finds him and displays a message stating she's going to find him. | |

| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: There's quite a number of them in the anime, some more subtle than others. Take note of the subtle cardboard box following Kagari and Takamiya around in episode 2. If you pay closer attention, you'll note "someone" was stalking Takamiya for the entirety of the date, starting from the moment he answered the phone in his house. The box was merely the most obvious disguise said person used. Kasumi's teddy bears. Also in episode 2, while at the maid cafe, Takamiya tries to eat the item he ordered, but it's been completely frozen due to Touko falling on it and freezing it into a block of ice. He tries to gnaw at it, but to no avail. | |

In episode 8, after Rinon and her minions trash the school, she delivers a letter of challenge to him. As they leave, he says "What?", trying to contemplate what just happened. | |

Barrier Maiden | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_37f9376a | comment |
Barrier Maiden: Kagari's mother, Kazane Kagari. She maintains a city-wide magic field that prevents civilians from being injured or killed by magical attacks or the results of those attacks. The downside is that it drains her magic whenever this field is activated. A massive magic explosion that would have completely destroyed the city, caused by the witch Weekend, ultimately renders Kazane powerless for a week. Later Takamiya makes the same contract as Kazane, allowing the Workshop Witches to use magic again and restoring the protection of the city. | |

Squishy Wizard | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_38047858 | comment |
Squishy Wizard: While some of the lower-ranked Witches are noticeably 'squishy', most of the higher level Witches are definitely NOT. Both mother and daughter Kagari, in particular, are well-known for their "brute force" tactics even without using magic. Kagari has incredible physical strength and fighting skills thanks to her mother's Training from Hell to avert this. Chronoire is also quite a lethal fighter, and even takes out dozens of other Tower witches on her own near the end of the anime simply because she was bored. | |

Overdramatic Dating Commotion | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_39b88fac | comment |
Overdramatic Dating Commotion: As Ayaka has a crazed fanclub, they get furious at the mere sight of seeing their idol with a boy like Honoka, whom Ayaka only cares about and is affectionate toward him. They once call him lame and shoot him some serious death glares, even going as far as wishing death upon him when Ayaka leans in to teach him. Played for Drama when the leader of Ayaka's fanclub along with her posse beat up Honoka away in a hidden place at school just for "ogling [their] sublime princess." | |

Absurdly Powerful Student Council: The ranking in the school goes from the Chairwoman, to the current reigning Prince or Princess, then the Student Council, and then the Teachers. After the Student Council President tries to break up Takamiya and Kagari, Kagari fires her with her absolute power over the council, appoints Takamiya as the new President, makes herself the new Vice President and moves the former Vice President to the new position of Vice-Vice President. | |

Secret Test of Character: Evermillion does this to Takamiya in episode 5. When Kagari turns to stone, the former asks what he's willing to give up to bring her back. He wonders if she meant his soul, but she says reversing petrification doesn't need that big of a commitment. She then asks for his eyes, and he willingly accepts without a moment of hesitation. She balks at his immediate answer, and tells him that she wasn't serious about it, but was testing his trust in Kagari, since he was responsible for her turning in the first place, so he needed to have a strong bond with her to reverse the condition. | |

Medusa ends up rescuing Kasumi in episode 11, then grabs four of the Witches in Tanpopo's group, presumably to punish them for not helping the latter in that fight. | |

Big Fancy House: Exaggerated. Kagari lives in an impossibly gigantic 41-story mansion, which has a synchronized army of maids. Her mother even lampshades how nice their house is and is accordingly freaked out when it's completely destroyed during the fight against Medusa. She notes this is just her mother's mansion. The family has another mansion elsewhere. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: As is always the case in settings like this, once Kagari starts talking with Honoka of her own accord (the latter of whom knows about her popularity but never expressed any interest in talking with). He starts getting beaten up by some of the Student Council over it, believing him to be overstepping his boundaries as a nobody student. Kagari eventually attempts to put a stop to it, but he regularly receives floods of hate mail. Both Kagari and Kasumi are guilty of this to anyone who would keep/separate Takamiya from either of them, including each other. Case in point, when Kasumi 'kidnaps' Takamiya to run away on a paper mache plane, Kagari gives chase - on a huge flying dragon. | |

Affably Evil: The Tower witches in general. While they do attack Takamiya from time to time, they are also seen doing somewhat regular activities as well, such as eating at a restaurant, or just singing karaoke together. The likes of Medusa and Chronoire even team up with the heroes at times depending on their current whims. Medusa eventually lampshades this, pointing out Tower witches are all about pursuing their personal desires, so there's no reason to not help out the heroes if they feel like it, even if they may change their minds just as easily later. | |

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: The former student council president does this towards Rinon in episode 8.

She then immediately tries to clarify and says it was all a joking lie, but Rinon was apparently too fired up by that point to hear that part, and believes he really did all those things. This backfires on her after Rinon finds out that she lied about all of it. | |

Power Incontinence | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_571a3c67 | comment |
Power Incontinence: Touko seems to have no conscious control over her ice powers and they mostly manifest when she feels threatened, though not necessarily in a way that would help. Examples include tripping onto a parfait and freezing it solid, spontaneously creating a snowman to hide behind, freezing herself into a block of ice when bullied by Kagari, and creating a glacier when Kagari throws her into a pack of Tower witches. Kagari, while generally stoic and in control, will spontaneously set things on fire or raise the temperature around her when angry or excited. This happens most often when people bring up Takamiya around her, especially in a romantic context. | |

Really 700 Years Old: This seems to be the case for some Witches, as Chronoire and Kazane have been alive since the Crusades. This is also implied for the more powerful witches.

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Any witch with '-End' in their actual witch title. It used to indicate a witch who could end the world with their power alone but nowadays, a witch who reaches a sufficient level of notoriety and power is given this - similar to reaching Hall of Famer status. This also doubles as a Red Baron since any Witch who has this has more than earned it. Both Kagari Kazame and Chronoire Schwartz are 'End Witches'. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Takamiya attempts this, asking Evermillion for power to restore the town at the cost of his life in episode 12. She seems to grant it, but then Kagari offers herself instead. It's subverted when they find out Kagari made a separate deal with Evermillion years earlier to sever her contract with Takamiya if he ever tries to risk his life like that, and Takamiya actually saved the town with his own power, and therefore didn't require Evermillion's help for it. | |

Big Brother Attraction: Kasumi denies that her feelings towards Honoka are nothing but sibling affection... even though she insists in sleeping together in the same bed and bathing together and gets jealous of his brother's almost-girlfriend. Subverted in chapter 31; it is revealed that she views sexual love between males and females to be disgusting. She still loves her brother but in a more innocent way. | |

Remember the New Guy?: A minor one in the manga, as Takamiya's sister isn't even mentioned or hinted at until chapter 7 where Takamiya narrates who she is. This is rectified in the anime where she gets an appearancenote seen from behind at first, then in the background stalking Kagari and her brother as early as the second episode before her introduction in the fourth. | |

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Kagari, being elected the Princess by the school, is second in power at the school (only the administrator ranks higher, which also happens to be her mother) and uses this power to fire the student council president. She then names Takamiya as the successor. She decided to do this to curb the Green-Eyed Monster jealousy going on around the school due to them being close. | |

Harmless Villain: The Cherry and Star Teams are affiliated with the Tower Witches but otherwise are not a threat to Ayane.

It can be argued that they are even minions with an F in evil as they hardly do anything actually evil. | |

Wham Episode: In episode 9, the Big Bad, Weekend, appears. She tells Kazane that her plan was to use Chronoire and Medusa as pawns to find out where Evermillion was at, and then take Takamiya once she found out where he was. She also releases a magical bomb to drain Kazane's magical powers by forcing her to use her magic to prevent the city-wide explosion from hurting anyone, although it drains all of her magic in the process. Weekend then starts looking for Takamiya, and seems to have found him rather quickly despite the Workshop witches attempting to hide him. | |

Improbably Female Cast: There's no indication that women are naturally better at magic—one male wizard does appear, and he seems to be quite powerful—but the vast majority of spellcasters are female. Mikage-sensei mentions that males in magical families don't have a high standing, so it is likely that it's just the women who have a more prominent role when working spells, which would explain why there are so many more women shown. | |

Torture for Fun and Information | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_95d5fa51 | comment |
Torture for Fun and Information: Kazane is infamous for her talent at torturing enemies, but she also considers it one of her hobbies as well. When a scheming villain witch by the name of Weekend moves her plan to corner our protagonists into the violent phase, Chronoire the unclear agenda self-fulfilling villainous witch decides she'd like to have a piece of the mastermind. The plot follows the protagonists, and the short comic relief scene at one point has Chronoire together with her anthropomorphic crocodile helper wielding a hair-trimmer in a mock of a barbershop setup. Chronoire's idea of an incentive for the distressed Bound and Gagged nameless pawn Witch of the invasion force to speak of Weekend's whereabouts — is a threat to vandalize her victim's long hair into something more appropriate to the surrounding apocalypse landscape. | |

As Weekend approaches Kagari and Takamiya, the cheerful Black Comedy ending song plays. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: In episode 12, Takamiya makes a wish with Evermillion to restore the town at the cost of his life. Kagari then intervenes, telling Evermillion to take hers instead and collapses, presumably sacrificing herself for him. However later on a Flash Back reveals Kagari made a contract with Evermillion that if Takamiya's life was ever in danger, his contract with her would be severed, so he couldn't fulfill that contract. On top of that, the town was saved using his own power, so Evermillion also tells him he didn't that contract. | |

Epic Fail | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: Takamiya is told to kiss Kagari in an attempt to help resurrect her after she sacrificed herself in his stead during episode 12. Atori, who is helping him with it, watches as he does it. He lowers himself to her lips, only to then suddenly swerve at the last second, and kisses her on the forehead instead. Atori is understandably upset at it, and Takamiya tries to argue he's not ready to kiss Kagari on the lips. Fortunately for them that kiss on the forehead works, as Atori hilariously tries to push his head down and force him to kiss her properly after his failed first attempt. | |

Xanatos Gambit: Weekend has several traps in store to ensure she can capture Takamiya. She first takes Kazane out of the picture by setting off a massive bomb throughout the city and forcing her to use up her magic to save it. Then she captures some Workshop witches and rigs them with explosives set to go off if they don't bring Takamiya to her. And even after she's captured, she sets off some regular explosives to escape a cell the Workshop witches put her in. And then sets off some other explosives to take out the remaining workshop witches gathering around the field in the school. | |

Insane Troll Logic: According to Kasumi, she is not a bro-con. She just wants to marry her brother and have three kids with him, but that doesn't mean she likes him like that. Further, she believes no sex would be involved (since that would be disgusting) since she took her mother's word that babies come from storks and never grew out of it. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The cover of the single for the ED theme Witch Activity looks suspiciously like the album cover of Kraftwerk's 1978 album The Man-Machine. The subsequent Witches Non Stop and soundtrack album's covers◊ followed suit, making it a series of... witch Kraftwerks. In episode 2, after Kagari delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle yet again to Tanpopo's group, she then breaks through the floor where Mei was trying to escape with Takamiya. The latter then wonders if she's Mario with a superstar. Kasumi has the word Seigi (justice) on her back, written in the same way as the Marine soldiers from One Piece. Kasumi and her friend Tanuma are fans of the anime OrePotato, which is about a girl who gets into a romantic relationship with her big brother. It's probably a reference to Oreimo (and a joke about how blind Kasumi is to her own feelings towards Takamiya). Coincidentally, "imo" is a Japanese word for "potato." | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Kagari's first overt act to protect Honoka is to cover him from Tanpopo's bunny army, and when he wakes up, she's still over him... because of all the blades through her body holding her up. Her not really caring about the swords through her torso and arms is a first hint of just how powerful a Witch can get. | |

Evil Knockoff: During their invasion, one of Weekend's masked underlings gets locked in a fight with Kasumi. To ire of the latter, the underling mimics her every move and rides a miscolored but otherwise identical giant plushie bear summon. Of the onlooking Medusa's Tower Witches, one contemplates if this can be described as a doppelganger attack. Another one "knowingly" agrees, along the lines of calling it a doppel that does a ganger. | |

Taking You with Me: In episode 10, Rinon tries to negotiate more time to find Takamiya after Weekend sends a Workshop witch rigged with explosives to go off after thirty minutes if he isn't brought to her. The latter then taunts them further, by stating that she's weak physically, and wouldn't be a match in a fight with the former. But even if they defeat her, the bombs would still go off, so there would still be casualties. | |

Taken for Granite | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_d08049db | comment |
Taken for Granite: Medusa's power, as you can expect. Takamiya is immune to it due to being the vessel for Evermilion. Kagari is not immune to it, but in a strange way; when Takamiya loses confidence in Kagari's ability to win against Medusa, the protection he grants to her is weakened. He's not quite immune to her power so much as she deliberately kept her eyes covered and arms bound in the same straitjacket she was imprisoned in, just to see if she could capture him while bound. | |

Training from Hell: Kagari subjects Takamiya to this in episode 9. His first practical training is to fight against her giant summoned fire wolf. She then drops him off a skyscraper for his next lesson. Hilariously Flip Flopped as in between attempts she chastises Takamiya for a scraped elbow and suggests they stop for the day. In episode 10, Kagari singled-handedly stops a Tower Witch without the use of her magic by kneeing her in the face. When both the Witch and Takamiya inquire as to how, she tells them that she was forced to fight really difficult opponents without magic while growing up. A Flash Back then shows her mother atop some giant vicious looking monsters, while telling Kagari and Rinon they can't have dinner until the monsters are defeated. | |

Casual Danger Dialogue: When Takamiya sees Kagari's injuries, he's understandably worried about them. However, she largely seems to brush them off as an inconvenience, even if she's been Impaled with Extreme Prejudice. In episode 9, explosions start taking place around the city and school. Their teacher orders the students to leave the classroom and Takamiya attempts to comply. However, Kagari tells him to sit back down and continue taking the test, which he does for a moment. It's only after a nearby explosion burns her test paper that Kagari finally leaves the classroom to see what was going on. | |

Didn't See That Coming: In chapter 30, Tanpopo's group of Tower witches sans Tanpopo, are working for Medusa and use powerful magic to de-age Kagari to like a 4-5 year old, to a weaker point in her life. When they attack Takamiya, Kagari still shows up and curbstomps them, even though she is still a child. This means Kagari was a fully empowered witch before she was 4-5 years old. | |

No Ending: The anime only lasted 12 episodes (13 if you count the OVA) and thus ended with many subplots unresolved, such as the Tower Witches and Medusa still at large, Chronoire's interest in Evermillion unresolved and the shared past between Honoka and Ayaka still a mystery. The only sense of finality is that Honoka accepts magic as part of his everyday life. | |

Every Scar Has a Story | |

Every Scar Has a Story: Kagari sports a long, thin, diagonal scar across her abdomen. This is why she doesn't wear midriff-baring clothing when it's obvious that she'd look good in it. Thing is, Takamiya notes that it is virtually identical to the scar on his mother's left shoulder. Neither one tells him how they got it, which in Kagari's case, she doesn't remember how she got it in the first place. | |

Bound and Gagged | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_eb28ab57 | comment |
When a scheming villain witch by the name of Weekend moves her plan to corner our protagonists into the violent phase, Chronoire the unclear agenda self-fulfilling villainous witch decides she'd like to have a piece of the mastermind. The plot follows the protagonists, and the short comic relief scene at one point has Chronoire together with her anthropomorphic crocodile helper wielding a hair-trimmer in a mock of a barbershop setup. Chronoire's idea of an incentive for the distressed Bound and Gagged nameless pawn Witch of the invasion force to speak of Weekend's whereabouts — is a threat to vandalize her victim's long hair into something more appropriate to the surrounding apocalypse landscape. | |

Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_ebd01bc5 | comment |
Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me: After Kayou kidnaps Honoka, she has him take a bath to "cleanse the outside of his vessel" before their wedding ceremony. Made even more disturbing when Kayou joins him in the bath to wash his back. | |

Goldfish Poop Gang | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_ecd42310 | comment |
Goldfish Poop Gang: The group of five Tower Witches that keep attacking Kagari and Takamiya quickly turns into this. In the third episode, Kagari blasts them all into the stratosphere with a single shot. They're later shown arguing about whether you can ride a llama to school, and are relegated to comedic relief. | |

P.O.V. Boy, Poster Girl | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_efc42743 | comment |
P.O.V. Boy, Poster Girl: Takamiya is the Ordinary High-School Student POV protagonist, but Kagari is the powerful witch who moves the plot by protecting Takamiya from any threats. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: A moment occurs in Episode 8, as Kagari's friends are talking in a cafe. The scene switches to an outside shot of the building and shows a pair of Tanpopo's magical rabbit soldiers walking past while carrying groceries from a shopping trip. | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: Takamiya initially, when he's attacked for no apparent reason. And also his mother, and pretty much anyone that's not a witch. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Kagari attempts to help Takamiya concentrate to help him summon a magical creature. Unfortunately, he can't do it because she's pressing up from behind him with her large chest. | |

Innocent Innuendo | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_f288cf3 | comment |
Innocent Innuendo: One of Tower Witches calls herself out on being an idiot, for even trying to get through to her comrade cat-eared rabbit-wielding witch girl, Tanpopo, as the latter is oblivious to how saying that Ayaka is only after the white stuff, which is inside his body, could cause any amount of misunderstandings. Honoka himself, however, is dumbfounded thinking he didn't hear that right. | |

Distressed Dude | |
| Witch Craft Works (Manga) / int_f9e16ef | comment |
Distressed Dude: The central premise of this manga. Honoka starts out having no idea how to fight, and has absolutely no way to deal with Witches trying to capture him, and is also freaked out by the lengths Kagari goes to protect him. Even later on, he's still the weakest in any given fight. | |
