''World Witches'' is a SharedUniverse created by Humikane Shimada. Beginning with ''Manga/StrikeWitches'' in 2008, ''World Witches'' has since spun off into a mixed-media franchise, with the primary focus on the adventures of the 501st and 502nd Joint Fighter Wings. The franchise involves humanity fighting back against alien invaders called the Neuroi, who've started their invasion throughout history. Generally, regular weapons are useless against these invaders but, girls with magical powers are capable of defeating the Neuroi. They've been given the name Witches. Come the 20th Century, Witches have been given a particular weapon to help fight the Neuroi called "Striker Units" which are mechanized legs based on airplanes and tanks that allow them to utilize their magical powers while generally using firearms. In addition to aliens and girls with magical powers, this franchise has one notable quirk - the girls [[{{Fanservice}} don't wear pants]].
