The vampire Miharu Kiryu has become the new resident of the Otogi household. Due to his nature as a vampire, he is a night owl and wakes up in the early afternoon as soon as he moves in. Furthermore, he needs to inhale life force energy in addition to his meals, so he receives it from Morihito as soon as he wakes up. With Miharu's arrival, it seems like he is not suited to group life, but the Otogi household's future becomes even more difficult.
"Witch Watch" is a manga by Shinohara, known for "SKET DANCE" and "Astra Lost in Space", which began serialization in "Weekly Shonen Jump" in February 2021.
