The ninth episode of the TV anime "Witch Watch," based on the popular manga by Kenta Shinohara currently serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha), entitled "To Gara/New Friends/Date with the Night," will be broadcast on June 1st in the MBS/TBS Sunday 5pm anime slot.

Nico and Morihito were at the home of their classmate, Minami Kara. The reason was that Kara had asked them to "repair shredded paper." However, Nico's repair magic, Major Recovery, can only be used on objects that are in a bundle, and cannot be used on objects that are a mixture of various pieces of paper. Kara explains that the object she wants to repair is a letter from her late mother, and that her father was the one who shredded it.
