| More childhood moments between Moi and Nico. It's sweet really. Nemu's reactions to them were priceless. She almost felt out of place in that house. And ofc, this episode wouldn't be a Witch Watch episode without Nico and her magic again. |
 |
| Really sweet episode with some childhood memories of Nico and Moi it's really nice seeing how close they are. |
| Awww Nico and Moi backstory episodes are always welcome! I loved this one sm because it shows just how important Nico was to Moi. We know he was a support for her, but she was just as supportive to him after his mom died. No wonder Moi feels so indebted to her. Nemu is such a sweetheart for trying to help Nico get Moi’s true feelings out, also shows how much she’s moved on to Keigo that she’s able to do this. They might not have got everything they wanted out of Moi, but they did learn how much he values everyone’s friendship which is sweet. Really cute episode |

| Such a nice and calm episode. Even though nothing major happened I was so engaged. Nico getting friend zoned was a curse that was put on Morihito by herself lol But his love for her only continues to grow..πβ¨ Nemu trying to play it safe by not volunteering for that spell to check the feelings between her and Keigo π π .. she's so in love with him and wolf. |
| So basically Nico forced herself to get friendzoned by Morihito without realizing it because of her letter ahah, another spell that has a "bad" effect xD |
 |
| Nico and Moichan just too adorableπ♥οΈ She was burning his ass from beginning lol. Nico staying beside Morihito when he had no friends is so wholesome. Although that letter has unintended consequences it's neat he used that as motivation. This is one of the better Nico spell's again getting more of these as of late. Flower or bugs playing to their nature is one creative design choice. Shame we didn't got Nemu>Keigo one. Well next episode is about them will be good. Atleast Nico got hope right one day her spell will break. Dk how long though but will my silly Witch have to get her love and happiness. |
| At least we now know that both are in love with each other. It’s just that one is completely head over heels for the other, while the other hasn’t realized how he truly feels yet. Well, I guess it’s fine like this for now, since it’ll eventually overflow, as Keigo said. I’ll believe in Keigo’s words for now, I guess. |
| Who would have thought that Nico would set Moi on fire with that spell? XD This was a such a nice change of pace episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It's hilarious how a message as wholesome as "I'll always be your friend" can be warped into something tragic when taken as literally as possible. The massive friendzone butterfly resembling a blooming flower is such a cool way to symbolize that Nico still has a chance. |
| This episode was actually pretty good compared to basically every other, may be because Nemu was in it the only character I like but idk I enjoyed the stuff between Moi and Nico this episode |
| Typical Nico, accidentally cursed Moi to friendzone her. Next episode looks like it is for shipping Nemu and Wolf/Keigo. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| Now that what a good episode. Some more backstory about Moi and Nico which are always very cute. It was more of a calm episode but I really liked it. But hey, as long as theres some progress with Moi and Nico's relationship, I'm happy. 5/5 |
Everyone watching this series: But no worries, it'll probably happen eventually. Right?  Also, funny:  |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| This was a rather sweet episode, showing more of the past between Nico and Morihito when they were younger. I respect Nico for doing what she could to being friends with Morihito when he going through a rough time, so it made sense for her to write a letter for him, showing how much she valued her friendship with him. However, she inadvertently used her magic on the letter, which has become a blockade for her in her ultimate goal of wanting to be in a romantic relationship with Morihito. I'm glad that Nemu went out of her way to help out Nico here, so that she could use another spell to see what her chances of dating Morihito would be. While the answer she got wasn't the one she truly wanted, seeing how the butterfly transformed into a flower does mean that she has a chance. Fingers crossed that she gets her wish to come true one day in the future. |
| So, I see Nico has always had the habit of asking about it and then using magic even when the person says no, lol... Cute episode. |
 |
| This episode was really sweet, and Nico accidentally casting a curse on Moi is so funny to me lol |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| Nico was very cute in that dress she wore as a kid, and her spells have been backfiring ever since lol. Speaking of backfiring spells, while Morihito's friendship curse may still be lingering it looks like his fondness for Nico is growing. |
| A silly but sweet episode, let's hope that love will blossom between Nico and Moi. |
| great episode big butterfly at the end... |

| There it is– Kotodama, a japanese legend classic. If Moi's feelings are really being limited by that 'curse' then Nico getting friend zoned most of the time makes sense haha, either way it's still heartwarming to see Moi and Nico together even as just friends. May they be free to express their love someday. The whole group being the main couple shippers, I just can't get enough of it haha. Nemu dodged the fortune telling about her feelings towards Keigo???!! Does she have a crush on him!? She did admit he was cool before– I also want more romantic development between these two. Really great episode of romance and friendship. |
| I love when they do dumb stuff and Morihito is lost as shit lmao |
Sorry if my english is bad (γ£Λβ½Λ)γ£~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| What a beautiful story about Nico and Moi when they were children, it was really sweet. So Nico accidentally cursed Moi and basically relegated her to the friend zone? That explains why Moi sometimes acts so robotic around her. But hey, sooner or later that curse will be broken and we'll finally have our couple... Hooray! |
 |
| Strangest friendzone I have seen in a while. |
 |
| Nico accidentally placing a friendzone on Morihito when they were kids is a major shock! Words are tricky, especially so when you're a witch. |
 |
| Wow, we got a bit of a plot twist here today. Thought that Morihito was keeping Nico in the friendzone because that's how he was and that he genuinely had little to no romantic feelings toward her, but apparently that's not the case? Nico had unintentionally and unknowingly placed a curse upon Morihito that would keep her in the friendzone. The power of words is strong, and the power of the words of witches is even stronger. But, according to Nemu, maybe perhaps not strong enough. Eventually those feelings should one day overpower the curse, and Morihito's undying love for Nico will flow. Fingers crossed...!! Great to have an episode focused on our main duo, and that their relationship does mean something, and is not just some afterthought of the show thrown to the wayside. And for the next episode, will it be for Nemu and Keigo? If that's the case, big thumbs up there for giving their relationship development some screentime as well. On a side note, while it was cute to see Nemu being attracted to Morihito, I'm glad that kind of sizzled out now. I hate love triangles and we don't need one in this show that would've ruin the good vibes. |

| A bit more serious and calm episode. I liked it. The first half was focused on Nico and Moi's backstory. Funny how Nico literally lit Moi's ass on fire. But he wasn't angry at all. He's tough. But he also really sees her as a friend to laugh it off like that. Did she fix that pant afterwards? Anyway, she accidentally cursed Morihito?! That's crazy. She accidentally friend-zoned herself LMAO. But I wonder if that paper was actually effective since it got torn apart and all. Morihito never saw the completed piece until he taped it together himself. So, that's a theory. But it might not be the case, judging by the ending. So, Morihito's mom is dead. That explains why she was nowhere in the first episode. Also, this guy thinks of Nico as his best friend... I'd say Nico was cooked if it weren't for that huge ass butterfly that also looked like a flower. And I wish she used that spell on Keigo or Nemu too. Oh well. Also, I like how Nemu is now completely chill with Nico and Morihito. It's like she completely forgot that she wanted to make him her familiar. This was a nice calm episode. It's a good pacebreaker after the comedic episodes. Single-story episodes really are the best. Looks like the next one's going to be single-story too. |

| Some really emotional moments this time... and some funny ones to counterpart. But mostly the former type. Can't complain, because of how much likable is this entire cast. |

| ok, so the overuse of the dead parent trope is kinda getting to me. It seems to be a big one in this era of anime/manga and it's tolerable if there are one or two characters with a dead parent but hasn't every single character that the show has had episodes focusing on have had a dead parent except for Miharu? It's getting ridiculous. Also in this case it seems thrown in at the last minute since there has been absolutely no mention of this before despite having several episodes focusing on his back story. It's like "oh, oh yeah, there should probably be a reason that his Mom isn't around. OK, dead parent time". |
