Witch Watch: Season 2 premieres in 2027, manga concludes
The new visual shows the witch Nico. For the finale of the Weekly Shonen Jump series, six anime voice actors have spoken out.
Witch Watch will receive its second TV anime season in 2027. On November 16, 2026, the production team released a new teaser visual featuring Nico Wakatsuki and, for the first time, confirmed the broadcast year. At the same time, Kenta Shinohara's manga ends in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump after roughly five and a half years.
Second season announced for 2027
The continuation had been generally confirmed back in October 2025. It is now certain that it will air on Japanese television in 2027. No specific month, premiere date or episode count has been announced yet.
The new key visual shows Nico forming a heart with her fingers, winking at the camera through it. The announcement comes from the official anime website. The announcement does not include a new trailer.
The manga ends with issue 51
Issue 51 of Weekly Shonen Jump, dated November 16, 2026, contains the series' final chapter. Shinohara began the story in February 2021, centering on the young witch Nico and her childhood friend Morihito Otogi. Morihito possesses the power of an oni and lives with Nico to protect her from a predicted danger. Her magic regularly causes chaotic everyday situations.
The first anime season ran from April to October 2025. The continuation will therefore adapt a story whose manga storyline is now complete. No scope for adapting the remaining material has been announced.
Voice actors reflect on the completed series
At the close of the manga's serialization, six contributors from the anime cast have spoken out. They include Rina Kawaguchi as Nico and Ryota Suzuki as Morihito. Also taking part are Kohei Amasaki as Kanshi Kazamatsuri, Kaito Ishikawa as Keigo Magami, Yuki Wakai as Miharu Kiryu and Tomori Kusunoki as Nemu Miyao.
The comments focus mainly on the source material's humor, the work of the mangaka and the characters. Wakai also reports that voice recordings for the second anime season are underway. No German release date for this season has been announced so far.
Other adaptations with fantasy elements are also planned for 2027, including Gushing Over Magical Girls Season 2 and Shibatsuki Bukken. For Witch Watch, only the year 2027 has been set as the broadcast period so far.
