Based on the manga series by Kenta Shinohara, Witch Watch is charming audiences with its loveable take on the teen witch genre.

Much like its American counterpart Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Witch Watch follows a girl who juggles high school and boy troubles with learning how to use her magical powers.

As a well-meaning but rather silly and chaotic kind of person, protagonist Nico Wakatsuki is constantly getting into scrapes by performing magic she doesn't fully understand.

To keep her out of trouble, she's assigned a protector who attends the same high school: Morihito Otogi, who just happens to be Nico's childhood crush.

If you're interested in catching up with Witch Watch, look no further! Here's everything you need to know about the show's release schedule.

Witch Watch release schedule: When are new episodes on Crunchyroll and Netflix?

New episodes of Witch Watch arrive every Sunday on Crunchyroll and Netflix.

The first season of Witch Watch is divided into two cours, and is expected to last 26 episodes. Here's the projected release schedule for both Netflix and Crunchyroll!

What is the plot of Witch Watch?

Witch Watch mostly focuses on zany episodic adventures, as Nico tries to help people using her powers while navigating high-school life.

As part of her witch training, Nico begins the series by moving in with Morihoto, an ogre who looks like a normal teenage boy.

This is exciting news for Nico due to her crush on Morihoto, but sadly he doesn't seem to return her feelings.

Instead, he's more concerned with protecting her - especially after he hears a prophecy about an unidentified threat to her safety.

Much of the show's conflict comes from the clash between Nico and Morihoto's personalities, as Nico makes impulsive decisions while the more serious Morihoto tries to keep her safe.

That begins with his advice to keep her magical powers secret - a rule that she breaks almost immediately, revealing her witch identity to everyone at school.
