Witchcraft Works is set in a modern-day world where magic and supernatural powers shape the lives of these high-school kids. Takamiya Honoka is a regular student whose only problem seems to be that he sits next to Kagari Ayaka, the school's Princess'. 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 do it without secrecy.'
Works is well-constructed to take advantage of the humor in all of it. Some of that comes out of the storys role reversal: a hapless male protected by a powerful if emotionally distant female,instead of vice versa.GanRiki
