Witch Watch will have a second season in 2027 and there is already a visual of Nico

The second season of Witch Watch is now a reality. The anime will return in 2027, according to the production team, and it does so with a new visual where Nico forms a heart with her hands and winks with a smile that lights up the whole art.

The news comes just as Kenta Shinohara's manga says goodbye. The final chapter is published in issue 51 of Shonen Jump. The end of one stage and the confirmation of the next, all on the same day.

The first Witch Watch anime aired from April to October 2025. It adapts the magical comedy where Nico, a witch in training, moves in with Morihito Otogi, her childhood friend with ogre strength. He must protect her from a prophesied calamity, and she can't help getting excited about living together. Unpredictable magic, daily life, and a romance that moves forward amid disasters.

The manga has over 4 million copies in circulation. Shinohara had already shown his knack for comedy with SKET Dance and for science fiction with Kanata no Astra.

The manga's farewell and the cast's words

Several voice actors from the anime shared messages for the manga's ending. Rina Kawaguchi, voice of Nico, thanked Shinohara for a story full of gags and serious moments, and described it as "the best white witch" for her and for readers.

Ryota Suzuki, voice of Morihito, recalled how fun it was to record each session and joked about hoping for a future story from the author centered on used clothes. He also confirmed he will keep playing his character with the same affection in this new stage.

The rest of the main cast joins the farewell. Kohei Amasaki, Kaito Ishikawa, Yuki Wakai, Tomori Kusunoki, Mikako Komatsu, Rie Takahashi, Konomi Kohara, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Junya Enoki, Nana Mizuki, and Konishi Katsuyuki dedicate words of gratitude to the author and to the fans who accompanied the story for five and a half years.

The team behind the second season

The production keeps the same team from the first part. Hiroshi Ikehata directs at Bibury Animation Studios and STUDIO MASSKET, with Deko Akao on series composition and Yuri Hashimoto on music.

The announcement does not specify the exact premiere season within 2027, but the visual of Nico with that handmade heart makes it clear the wait will be worth it.

While the manga ends, the anime continues. What do you expect from this second season? I'll read you in the comments.
