Witch Craft Works is a seinen manga about Takamiya Honoka, an ordinary student who sits next to Kagari Ayaka, the most popular girl in school. Their interactions are limited because her fan club assaults him for simply speaking to her. But when the school's clock tower falls towards Takamiya, Kagari rescues him while flying on a broom. She proceeds to incinerate some monsters and reveals that her mission is to protect him.
Tropes include:
- Absurdly Powerful Student Council: The ranking in the school goes from the Chairwoman, to the current reigning Prince or Princess, then the Student Council, and then the Teachers. After the Student Council President tries to break up Takamiya and Kagari, Kagarai fires her with her absolute power over the council, appoints Takamiya as the new President, makes her self the new Vice President and moves the former Vice President to the new position of Vice-Vice President.
- Achilles Heel: Kagari is made of fire and as such is effectively invulnerable except if you attack Takamiya
- Arranged Marriage: Between Kagari and Takamiya
- Berserk Button: You don't try to separate Takamiya from Kagari. Else savor a good amount of Tranquil Fury from her.
