Morihito, do you remember Nico?
The witch Nico?
...we decided you and Nico will live here together.
Live...
with Nico?
I hope Moi's been doing well.
What the...
Hi, Moi.
A GIANT ROOKIE
Good morning, Moi.
Our first morning, living together.
It's kind of awkward, isn't it?
I mean, not really.
You should probably come downstairs after you've changed out of your pajamas.
We may be childhood friends, but we're still a guy and a girl.
WITCH GIRL IN LOVE NICO
WHAT IS MOI'S IMPRESSION?
It's like, there could be some romantic tension there, maybe?
I can sense that he sees me as a woman,
and maybe that can't be helped because he's a guy.
Well, I'm prepared for anything.
We're living under one roof after all.
Maybe something will happen, maybe it won't.
Oh geez, oh no!
I think something might happen.
ENTRANCE CEREMONY
It's finally here. It's going to begin!
My romantic adolescence will begin from here!
Right there. Look, Moi!
We're in the same class. It's the ever-delightful Class 3. Yay!
I'm so excited. I'm a witch, but I hope I can make friends.
This is bad. Nico's emotions are really high.
Sun, sun, sun! It's the warm light of the sun.
All right, here we go. I can only sense fun things for my high school life.
Oh wow, everyone looks so grown up.
And then there's people in relationships, like boyfriends and girlfriends, and...
Peek.
Nico.
Yes?
We gotta talk.
Is this a confession of love?
S-So, what did you want to...
When we introduce ourselves in class, don't you dare say that you're a witch.
What?
And don't use any magic at school, got that?
GRADE 1 CLASS 3
My name is Yuri Makuwa, and I will be your homeroom teacher.
Let's get along this year.
Yes, we got a pretty teacher.
Class 3 for the win.
And my hobbies are ma...
URON MIRAGE
Manga. I love reading manga.
I'm a super-otaku who even buys up all the fanfiction.
But if I say that, I'll sound really cringy.
You can't, Yuri. You have to come off as a cool teacher.
My hobbies are dancing the mambo.
This teacher is kinda strange.
Okay, I'm going to randomly call names from the roster,
so when you hear yours, please introduce yourself.
Like I said before, don't introduce yourself as a witch.
All right.
But I want to help as many people as I can with my magic.
I'm sure she's reluctant to hide her identity,
but saying that you're a witch would stand out in a bad way.
There's a prophecy that within a year, disaster will befall onto Nico.
It's my job as her familiar to make sure she has a peaceful high school life.
Forgive me, Nico.
Okay, let's start with the boys. Hara.
I'm Kowashi Hara. My stomach really hurts a lot.
I'm Ishi Tsuyoshi.
I have a strong will, and I've been going sleeveless since the second grade!
Hey there, I'm Takashi Isshiki.
I want to be as interesting as possible, so I always make enemies.
And someone's already flaming my comment section.
I'm Arashi Komeran. I love leaving long, flaming comments in the comment section.
You bastard!
All right, settle down everyone.
ARASHI KOMERAN LEAVES FLAMING COMMENTS
Let's go over to the girls. Ureshino.
Moi's taking notes on our classmates.
Yes. Hello, I'm Kukumi Ureshino. My hobbies are reading books and manga.
He's as detail-oriented as a bean counter, which is a funny trait to have for an ogre!
My favorite series right now is Uron Mirage.
KUKUMI URESHINO HOBBIES ARE MAMBO
Oh, he wrote something wrong, so cute.
There it is! The eraser attached to the mechanical pencil.
Oh, but those are so hard to use, right?
Oh no, it came off.
In a matter of seconds, too!
You have to be careful.
But there's still a little left on the pencil.
What ever will you do?
It's like a half-eaten Caplico.
Oh geez, he looks so dejected!
I didn't want to watch an ogre look so sad over his eraser popping off like that.
Ah-ha! But what if I use a spell that makes things bigger?
I can cast that on his eraser so he'll have more to use.
GROW
It got bigger!
Stranger things have happened in this world.
Nico, did you do this?
So? How does it feel to be saved by magic?
I was wrong all along! You can use magic as much as you want.
Hurray for magic! And I also love you!
This is it! I'll call it the Giant Caplico Strategy.
To give an explanation, the spell Embiggen makes the targeted item larger.
If you use your hand, the whole item will get larger.
GROW
If you use your finger and point at the item, you can make a part of the item larger.
GROW
Embiggen!
He turned into adult Gon!
I totally missed!
But he hasn't even noticed! What's going on with his hair?
Okay, next, Magami... Huh?
I'm Keigo Magami.
My hobbies are collecting LPs...
Did Gon Freecss enroll in our school?
Did he use both his vows and his limitations to force himself to age up?
At this point, he must be thinking that it's okay to end it.
How I handle this is a big test of my teaching abilities.
Wait, that's not even possible.
That's an illusion, right? And honestly my favorite is Kurapika anyway.
Oh no, I have to dispel it quickly.
In order to dispel Embiggen,
you must cast the same spell on exactly the same spot as before.
Embiggen!
Crap! So huge! I missed again!
Moi still hasn't noticed anything? But that's kind of cute.
Koboke.
Hello, I'm Suberu Koboke It's been a while, right everyone?
No wait, we all just met!
His face really brightens up when he laughs.
And next is...
Huh? What's wrong, Ms. Makuwa?
Oh, um, uhh...
This definitely has to be an illusion!
It's because I stayed up way too late last night reading a comedy manga.
Oh crap, I really have to be on target this time!
I missed!
Huh? Who's that?
What's going on?
What? Why is my hand so huge? It's just my left arm?
Th-This can only be from...
I knew it was you! What did you do to me?
Don't you dare look at me like, "Woops, sowwy!"
My left arm is massive now, thanks!
Next, Otogi.
Yes.
Huh? What's going on?
Is he twitching?
Is he hurt?
Dang it. This might turn into a scene.
M-My left arm... It stirs...
Is he delusional?
Morihito Otogi. I'm from Magani Middle School.
I won't join any clubs,
and that's because I'm in the middle of a mission that I can't talk about.
- He's got it bad. - Yep, he's gone off the deep end.
They're starting to think that I'm some weird delusional kid in an anime.
But I have to keep up the charade now!
Hey! Calm down, Leftios.
Leftios?
Is he pretending to be possessed by a monster?
Shh, that's what his story setting is.
My high school life is over.
Leftios?
Whose fault do you think this is? Hurry and reverse the spell!
W-Well, it's nice to have a student with unique characteristics.
Okay, next is Minami.
What's up, I'm Kara Minami.
Moi.
I love getting rowdy with my friends in places like diners and karaoke.
Give me your arm.
Hurry up!
His hand is huge. Well, at least I won't miss with this size.
And yeah, that's me.
Sorry, Moi. Embiggen.
Next is Wakatsuki.
Y-Yes!
Oopsie. I cast it on myself.
What the...
A titan?
Um...
I'm Nico Wakatsuki.
I'm a witch.
Our cover was blown on the first day.
AFTERWARDS, THEY MADE UP
EPISODE 01 EPILOGUE
"SORRY I PUNCHED YOU SO MUCH." "SORRY I MADE YOU BALD. IT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU."
EPISODE 01 EPILOGUE
WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO EMOTIONALLY VOMIT ONTO A DARK BLOG THAT HE JUST MADE, THE SPELL WORE OFF. WHAT WAS I DOING...
MOI'S ALWAYS LOOKING AT HIS COMPUTER AND NEVER AT ME. BOO.
GRADE 1 CLASS 3
So, we've already received a proper notification from Nico's mother that she's a witch.
LET'S GO TO A DINER!
She'll be attending this school whilst she completes her training as a witch.
I wanted Nico to at least make one friend.
But after seeing that, I don't think anyone would want to talk to her.
Well...
I don't think anyone knows how to be around a witch, anyway.
Okay, that's it for today.
Everyone stand, and bow.
Nico, let's go home.
Okay.
Hey, Wakatsuki.
Kara Minami and Kukumi Ureshino.
Wanna go to a diner on the way home?
Moi.
Go ahead.
Thanks!
Hey, what's up?
All three of you are lookin' real pretty.
How bout it? Wanna go karaoke with us?
Let's go inside.
Hey, hold on now.
Listen, we don't even wanna spare a second for you losers, got that?
Losers?
Get lost.
That was so amazing, Kara!
Shucks, forget about me.
Instead, I wanna hear about you, Nico.
It's so surprising that you're a witch. Can you cast different kinds of spells?
Yep, I sure can. Tons of them!
I'm great at it! I can do anything.
That confidence smells dangerous.
This is pretty fun.
Where I lived, growing up was kind of different.
I didn't really have that many friends who were my age.
So I've always wanted to hang out with friends like this after school.
Did you and Kara go to the same middle school?
That's right.
I also didn't have too many friends in middle school either.
I was really shy, so I read a lot of books.
- She's kind of weird, isn't she? - How pathetic.
However...
Hey, wanna go hang out at a diner?
Yes.
Kara started talking to me.
That's so awesome!
Come on, that was a while ago.
Anyway, Nico! Who's that hottie you're with?
You mean Moi? He's my childhood friend.
There it is! The childhood friend!
But you don't have to be so...
Moi.
Yeah.
I can really go? Thanks!
Yeah, go ahead.
I promise I'll make this up to you.
Don't worry about it.
You guys are like practically dating!
W-We're not dating.
Then why are you two going home together while just being friends? Isn't that weird?
That's because we live together.
Calm down, Kara.
What? What's happening? Living together? Indecent? Impure?
I-It's not impure, it's innocent!
That's not innocent at all!
How dare they ignore us.
Those crazies!
We'll round them up and do unspeakable things to them.
So, what kind of person is this childhood friend?
What?
I also want to know.
I mean, you're not dating, right?
If he's a cool guy, can you introduce us?
I'd like to get a boyfriend.
Let's see...
Who the hell...
You can't rely on him at all.
You're dead!
He's weak when it comes to fights.
He's selfish...
and he's way too pushy.
Basically, he can't take a hint.
She finally made some new friends, so don't get in the way.
Yeah. He's really not that cool.
Well, I guess that's just how reality is, huh?
It'll be too good to be true if your childhood friend you're living with is a great guy.
So his face is the only good part?
Nico, be careful that you don't get attacked.
Yeah.
I'm really sorry, Moi.
Man, girls are harsh.
Morning, Nico.
Man, witches are so amazing.
THE FLYING CLASSROOM
Yeah, I was shocked!
Can you fly on brooms and stuff?
Can I have your LINE I.D?
I was worried about what would happen,
but it's fine if she ends up making friends.
However...
You're childhood friends with the witch, right?
Can you ask her to turn me into a chair?
I wanna shoot a Kamehame-ha!
Why are all the weirdos gathering around me?
Hey, Nico. Can you show everyone your magic?
There it is!
Magic isn't for show, you know. You're just asking for trouble.
Yeah, we wanna see.
What kind of spells can you cast?
Everyone always gets carried away.
I can do anything!
You're getting carried away, too!
WHOAAAA!!!
Nico, don't get too carried away, okay?
What do you want to see?
I would recommend a spell that shifts gravity sideways.
That sounds amazing!
Let's do that one!
Dang it, being in a new environment has her need for approval skyrocketing.
Liberty gravity!
Good morning.
Did I enter the Infinity Castle?
Okay, so I thought Nakime had kidnapped me, but I guess not.
No more playing around, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Classes will begin starting today, but our first period is recreation.
CLASS FRIENDSHIP RECREATION
The class has the freedom to decide what to do.
By the way, back when I was a student, we did Fruits Basket.
So childish.
How're we supposed to play Fruits Basket as high school kids?
I mean, we have Nico in our class,
so we have to play around with her magic, right?
Magic is so cool!
I want to fly!
Like the Air Dance Technique!
No way! Do not use magic for fun!
This is a barrier we witches use when we practice our flying.
When you're inside it, you can fly!
That's a crazy thing to say like it's nothing.
- Awesome! - She's a witch after all.
- So we can fly! - I'm so exited!
She's not listening to a word I say.
When you want to move forward, you just think in your heart, "Forward!"
If you want to turn right, then think, "Right!"
ENA URUSE
I guess you have to lighten up when you fly.
And for left, just think, "Left!"
Is this gonna be okay?
So yeah. Let's get started!
Oh wow! I'm actually flying!
In situations like this, everyone's individual personalities really shine through.
KOMUGI KUROWA
KUKUMI URESHINO
SUZUKA KIYOMIYA
There are those who take it for a careful test run.
Those who challenge it with all their might in order to learn by doing.
TSUYOSHI ISHI
YUKI ARISUGI
TSUYOSHI ISHI
TAKASHI ISSHIKI
RIN FUWA
Some will find a nice balance and kick back to relax.
Some guys will begin to maneuver
KOITERU CHOUSHI
RIKIHARU HARIKI
in an acrobatic manner where the girls can definitely see them.
Some will get the hang of it quickly, and then pretend to be Dragon Ball characters.
RYUTA SHIPPOU
TSUYOSHI ISHI
KARA MINAMI
The otaku who also secretly wants to pretend to be a Dragon Ball character.
HOMEROOM TEACHER YURI MAKUWA
KEIGO MAGAMI
Then there's the hipster poser who's too cool for this stuff
because he has better hobbies that let him soar to higher heights.
ARASHI KOMERAN
And we can't forget the contrarian who even refuses to change into gym clothes.
And so, after all that, they all got along swimmingly.
This class is super easy-going, huh?!
GRADE 1 CLASS 2
Excuse me, Class 3 is flying.
That looks awesome.
There's a witch in Class 3.
And here we are doing Fruits Basket.
Are you okay, Nico?
You must be expending a lot of magic power.
I am, but I'll be fine.
Magic power can be replenished if I eat red bean paste!
Really?!
I'm glad everyone's having fun.
I just happened to be born as a witch, and I can do things like fly.
I thought it was unfair that others couldn't.
But I'm happy I got to share this with everyone.
So that's how you've been looking at it.
I've never had a fun moment from being born as an ogre.
Your powers are so amazing, though.
You should tell everyone that you're an ogre.
My mom said I can't play with you anymore.
Because you're not normal.
Then no one would ever get near me.
Excuse me.
Can you park that on the edge of the track field?
Sure thing.
The truck's gonna enter the barrier!
What?
Watch out!
It's gonna fall!
Are you all right?
Yeah but, are you?
Hey, what was that just now?
That was impressive. I thought you died.
How did you do that?
That was actually my...
I'm actually...
an ogre.
I look like a human, but I'm not normal.
So, please don't...
You're amazing!
- An ogre? - Seriously, that's so cool.
You guys aren't scared? Wait, you believe me?
I mean, we have a witch here, so...
Dude, we were all flying just now.
We won't be shocked to hear that the witch's childhood friend is an ogre.
Class 3, no thoughts, head empty, huh?
Well if they're cool with it, then that's okay.
And so, with the continuous reveals,
it was discovered that a witch and an ogre had enrolled in their school.
Class 1-3 had become rather fairy tale-esque,
but their reactions were rather positive.
Everyone wanted to get along without causing too much of a commotion,
so we're nonetheless thankful for our classmates.
However...
Otogi, can you ask Nico if she has a spell that can switch my left and right eyes?
Oh! And is carrying something like this totally easy with your ogre strength?
I still somehow attract the weird ones.
I made so many friends.
What song is that?
You don't know "Many Friends Samba"?
How would I? Who sung it?
I'm adlibbing Rina Kawaguchi. I'll sing it again. "I made so many..."
