Synopsis

Honoka Takamiya is an average student. Ayaka Kagari, his classmate who sits next to him in class, on the other hand is the class "Princess." Ayaka is tall, strikingly gorgeous and has a regalness to her that almost exudes a royal attitude. Despite their proximity in school, over the school year the two have never shared much conversation...until today. So today as class ended, Takamiya was suddenly attacked by a catered witch and her band of bunny-costumed thugs! And if that were not enough of a shock, this average joe would then be saved, like a princess by none other than Ayaka Kagari... a witch herself!

Preliminary (59/118 eps)
I love the role reversal in Witch Craft Works where the male lead is completely reliant on the female lead.

The premise and plot aren't really anything new and exciting, but when you combine that with the role ...

Being a mi-monthly series and sitting at six currently out it may seem a bit early to give this a score of any sort. Despite the simple premise of a strong girl needing to protect the lead it is done in a way I find to be absolutely charming.

The interactions between the two main characters, Kagari and Takimya makes for plenty of funny but also sweet moments. One of the elements I like best is how the powerful female lead doesn't smack around the male lead, all too common in other series for my tastes. Even better, she doesn't try to him him away. ...

Mixed Feelings
Witchcraft Works is a manga that just seems aimless. By that I don’t mean that it doesn’t have a plot, but rather that it doesn’t really try all that hard at it or anything else.

This is a pretty standard gender role reversal and it isn’t all that uncommon in manga so I don’t think that it’s enough to make the manga interesting. Rather, I think the execution here was rather weak.
