The beloved series Witch Watch has officially concluded its journey as of November 12, 2026, with Chapter 270 gracing the pages of Issue 51 of Weekly Shonen Jump. It’s always bittersweet when a story comes to an end, isn’t it? But before we dive deeper, let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this magical tale.

Written and illustrated by the talented Kenta Shinohara, who previously worked on Sket Dance, Witch Watch began captivating audiences on February 8, 2021.

This series has enchanted readers with its rich storytelling and dynamic characters, particularly the teenage witch Nico Wakatsuki and her lovable ogre familiar, Morihito Otogi. Together, they've navigated a world filled with supernatural beings and exciting adventures.

As we bid farewell to this enchanting series, we have some exciting news to look forward to! The final volumes, 29 and 30, are set to be released on February 4, 2027.

The journey through three acts, particularly the final act titled “Black and White Witches,” has kept readers on the edge of their seats with arcs like Bone Crisis and Reborn Crisis.

On the anime front, Witch Watch received a vibrant adaptation that aired from April 6 to October 5, 2025, produced by Bibury Animation Studios. With 25 episodes adapting the first 98 chapters, it was a visual treat for fans. And guess what? A second season has been announced, though we’re still waiting for the details.
