History Manga / WitchWatch

''Witch Watch'' is an ongoing comedy slice-of-life manga series written and illustrated by Kenta Shinohara (best known for his manga ''Manga/SketDance'' and ''Manga/AstraLostInSpace'') that began serialization in Magazine/ShonenJump in February 2021.

* AbsurdlyPowerfulSchoolJurisdiction: Nico and company need special permission from their high school [[InnocentCohabitation to stay at Morihito's house]], which the student councilor threatens to revoke if any of them fail an exam.

* InnocentCohabitation: Nico moves into Morihito’s house, where they both live [[MinorLivingAlone unsupervised]] because Morihito’s father goes away on business right after. They have some romantic tension, mostly on Nico’s side, but don’t come close to doing anything sexual. Later on, Kanshi and then Keigo move in as well. This gets commented on as strange a few times, especially once it becomes one girl living with several guys.

The story follows Nico Wakatsuki, a clumsy and cheerful teenage witch who, after finishing her magical training, moves in with an longtime friend named Morihito Otogi, who is actually a human-looking ogre. Nico plans on making Otogi her familiar, thinking it will help strengthen their relationship as a possible couple.

Nico’s magic leads to all sort of unpredictable trouble, with both magical and non-magical situations on the rise for the two.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: In Chapter 38 of the manga, the Student Council almost positively obliterates it when they make themselves known to Otogi and Nico. Introducing themselves one by one to the ogre and witch, each member is a personification of actual specific tropes, named and everything, within the chapter. It’s as if the author himself skimmed through this very website. They and their corresponding tropes are as follows:
** Ibara Ibu: Ms. Fanservice
** Yuzuru Kenmochi:CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
** Syrup: Tsundere
** Kuromitsu: Kuudere
** Riro Takumi: ChildProdigy / PlayfulHacker
** Burst: DumbMuscle
** Kyoki Saiko: PsychopathicManchild
** Daiki Sakai MK. II: Robot
** Tenryu Kiyomiya: ColonelBadass

* GoroawaseNumber: Mori'''hito''''s (1) house eventually becomes hosts to '''Ni'''co (2), '''Mi'''haru (3), Kan'''shi''' (4), and Kei'''go''' (5). Once the last of them moves in, they get appropriately numbered placards for their rooms. Another major character that ''doesn't'' live in the same house is Ne'''mu''' (6).

* InnocentCohabitation: Nico moves into Morihito’s house, where they both live [[MinorLivingAlone unsupervised]] because Morihito’s father goes away on business right after. They have some romantic tension, mostly on Nico’s side, but don’t come close to doing anything sexual. Later on, Kanshi and then Keigo move in as well. This gets commented as strange a few times, especially once it becomes one girl living with several guys.

* {{Lunacy}}: [[spoiler:Keigo]] being a "werewolf" doesn't make him become wolflike, but instead he has a [[JekyllAndHyde more violent alternate personality]] that comes out whenever he sees a crescent moon. It doesn't have to be the actual thing; basically any picture or legible drawing of the symbol will have the same effect.

* ObliviousToLove: Nico's crush on Morihito is obvious to everybody except for the boy himself. Though, many chapters imply that he might reciprocate more than he lets on, it's just that he's such TheStoic that you can't tell with him most of the time.

* TimeStandsStill: One chapter focuses on Kanshi having Nico cast a spell on him that causes him to move perceive time at ten times normal speed. This proves [[BlessedWithSuck horribly inconvenient]] when the things and people around him remain slow. And the spell can't be stopped once cast, he has to wait until it ends after three days--which is ''thirty'' days from his perspective.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Tenryu attempts to recruit Otogi into the Student Council and even give him his own trope in the form of KungFuKid, but fails miserably yet persists on recruiting him.

Niko’s magic leads to all sort of unpredictable trouble, with both magical and non-magical situations on the rise for the two.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Tenryu attempts to recruit Otogi into the Student Council and even give him his own trope in the form of KungFuKid, but fails miserably yet persists on recruiting him.

* SpeakoftheDevil: Just as Morihito says he can’t wait to meet Nico again, she literally comes flying through the window and breaking glass everywhere, showing that while she may have learned some new tricks she’s still clumsy as ever.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Chapter 48 is a chapter of the [[ShowWithinAShow in-series manga]] ''Uron Mirage''.

* StylisticSuck: The chapter of ''Uron Mirage'' the readers can see is pretty much complete nonsense, both because it's shown outside of any context and because the series itself is pretentious, needlessly oblique, and indulges in gratuitous FauxSymbolism. It's implied the series is really only popular because its fans are the kind of people who enjoy interpreting something far more meaningful than the author ever intended.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Tenryu attempts to recruit Otogi into the Student Council and even give him his own trope in the form of KungFuKid, but fails miserably yet persists on recruiting him.
* ScoldingtheFourthWallBreaker: Nico and Otogi call out the entire Student Council for being so Trope-tastic.

* ''Manga/WitchWatch'': Nico starts the story moving into her ChildhoodFriend Morihito’s house, [[MinorLivingAlone unsupervised]] because Morihito’s father goes away on business right after. They have some romantic tension, mostly on Nico’s side, but don’t come close to doing anything sexual. Later on, Kanshi and then Keigo move in as well. This gets commented as strange a few times, and their high school considers [[AbsurdlyPowerfulSchoolJurisdiction forbidding them]] when it’s assumed they’re living like slobs and neglecting their studies.

* MonsterMash: Much of the cast is a mix of {{youkai}} and horror movie monsters, all of which are able to pass as human. The main two characters are a witch and an ogre, while later additions include a werewolf and vampire. Several of them are the descendants of humanoid {{familiar}}s witches made from animals.

* IncapableOfDisobeying: If Morihito goes against Nico’s orders as her familiar, he’ll revert into a primal amalgamation of several ancestral animal familiars as per a curse.

* BreakingtheFourthWall: In Chapter 38 of the manga, the Student Council almost positively obliterates it when they make themselves known to Otogi and Nico. Introducing themselves one by one to the ogre and witch, each member is a personification of actual specific tropes, named and everything, within the chapter. It’s as if the author himself skimmed through this very website. They and their corresponding tropes are as follows:
