About this title

Synopsis

Nico Wakatsuki has finished her six years of witch training and is moving back to town by herself. As a new witch, she must choose a familiar to accompany her. However, unlike the other witches, she wishes to pick a non-animal familiar. There is no better companion than Morihito "Moi" Otogi—her childhood friend who happens to be an ogre. Morihito is vehemently opposed to being her servant, but he reluctantly accepts his fate after learning that a curse would revert him into a strange cow-tiger hybrid were he to disobey a witch's order. Due to Morihito's father leaving for a business trip and Nico's mother remaining behind in the Witches' Holy Land, the two teens find themselves living together under the same roof. While Nico is ecstatic to be living with her crush, Morihito finds that her magical antics and overall clumsiness create more problems than solutions. With a prophesied disaster to befall Nico within the year, Morihito must do everything he can to protect her as her bodyguard while also upholding his duties as her familiar.

External profile
Height: 181 cm Weight: 73 kg Hair color: black Eye color: black Morihito Otogi is Nico's childhood friend and familiar. He is an ogre belonging to the Otogi clan which was one of the surviving Ogre clans. Morihito is a serious person in any situation, he is usually so serious that some people believe that he is expressionless despite this he is very reliable. His inexpressiveness is due to his training since he was a child and according to him during the battle the enemy should not know what you are thinking. This training has helped him to have an extreme positivity since he is usually attentive to everything around him, so things like bad luck do not usually affect him. Due to his personality and being an ogre he is unable to make friends on his own since he doesn't usually trust people and doesn't know how to get along with them. This attitude has been decreasing due to the intervention of the otogi family in his life, coming to consider them as his best friends and second family. He usually takes his responsibilities very seriously like taking care of Nico, doing housework and cooking. His personal tastes are often considered weird as he is often obsessed with things like denim clothes and marbles, and he is usually very meticulous about them. He usually doesn't care about popular trends or use social networks as he considers them stupid. (Source: Witch Watch Wiki, edited)
