Witch Craft Works
With the series having gotten a simulcast pickup from Crunchyroll already, that makes it even easier to get into the January 2014 series Witch Craft Works since you know it’ll be available. Now, a new 30 second TV spot has been released which provides a bit better of a look than the previous 15 second spot we had. The series, which was announced back in November of 2012, kicked off in 2011 as manga from Ryuu Mizunagi and in good! Afternoon and has a few volumes to its name so far. The anime adaptation is being handled by JC Staff with Tsutomu Mizushima directing and handling script supervision.. He’s partnered up with Michiko Yokote on the scipts while Reiko Yoshida is handling the character designs.
The cast announced includes:
- Yusuke Kobayashi as Honoka Takamiya
- Asami Seto as Ayaka Kagari
- Ai Kayano as Kasumi Takamiya
- Shiori Izawa as Tanpopo Kuraishi
Plot concept: Takamiya Honoka is a regular student whose only problem seems to be that he sits next to Kagari Ayaka, the school’s #1 beauty. They have never spoken to each other before and any small interaction between them immediately results in her fanclub beating him. Yet when a falling part of the school’s building is about to send him to the afterlife, it’s Kagari that comes to his rescue. Only… she’s dressed as a witch, carrying him in her arms and floating on a broom?! Kagari tells him it is her mission to protect him and that now she can finally protect him openly rather than undercover.
