By Episode 4, the house is officially full—and the chaos is settling in like an uninvited spell. With Nico, Morihito, and Kanshi all now under one roof, Witch Watch shifts from magical mishaps to roommate comedy—and honestly, it’s a vibe.
This episode doesn’t feature any new spells, but it leans into what Witch Watch does best: quirky banter, magical personalities, and exaggerated misunderstandings that somehow still feel relatable.
New to Witch Watch? Here’s a Quick Intro
If you’re just diving into Witch Watch, you’re in for a spell-filled comedy. Daily life in this anime is anything but ordinary. The story is based on the manga by Kenta Shinohara, creator of Sket Dance.
It follows Nico, a bubbly witch-in-training with a big heart and big magic. She moves in with her childhood friend Morihito, a stoic ogre. He’s been assigned to protect her from a mysterious fate predicted by her mother’s fortune.
In Episode 1, Nico moved in with Morihito, turning his peaceful life upside down with a backfired transformation spell.
Episode 2 had her casting a charm spell—only to accidentally attract everyone except Morihito.
Episode 3 introduced Kanshi, Nico’s wind-style ninja friend, who instantly stirs up tension (and trouble) in the house.
Now, in Episode 4, the three try to settle into their new life together—if you can call barely surviving breakfast “settling.”
Welcome to the Most Chaotic House in Anime
Morihito thought dealing with Nico was tough. Then Kanshi moved in.
Now? He’s trying to maintain order in a house where:
- Nico is bubbling over with magic, hormones, and romantic optimism
- Kanshi is a wind-style ninja who acts like a gremlin
- And he’s the straight man constantly seconds from snapping
The episode focuses on the daily life adjustments—meal plans, chores, bath schedules—and how magic and ninja antics make even the most basic tasks a disaster waiting to happen.
Kanshi, Morihito & the “Almost Fight”
One of the funniest scenes in Episode 4 is the bathroom standoff, where Kanshi and Morihito nearly come to blows over nothing at all. The tension is absurd and overblown in the best possible way. You’re not watching a fight—you’re watching two dudes who might kill each other over who left the toilet seat up.
Their chemistry is what carries this episode. Kanshi keeps pushing Morihito’s buttons, and Morihito’s restraint is almost saint-like at this point.
Nico Tries to Keep the Peace (Sort Of)
Nico, bless her heart, is trying to keep things friendly—but her version of “peace” involves cooking with magic, casting spells to clean faster, and generally doing too much.
She’s still convinced this is all part of some destiny-fueled romance arc, and her heart is 100% in the right place… even if the spells are usually off by a few degrees.
Final Thoughts
Episode 4 may not have a big plot reveal, but it’s a fun, chill installment that lets the trio’s personalities bounce off each other naturally. It’s slice-of-life with supernatural spice—and it sets the tone for what feels like the beginning of a growing magical friend group.
💥 Favorite Moment: Kanshi dodging household chores with ninja stealth—and then smugly blaming Morihito.
🌕 Rating: 4/5 – Light on magic, heavy on hilarious chemistry.
👀 Next Episode Hype: Are we finally getting more characters? Or another spell gone sideways.
