The first episode of Witch Craft Works doesn’t waste any time turning the magical boy-meets-girl trope on its head. In fact, it gleefully smashes it with a giant flaming claw.

It turns out Honoka is a "Workshop Witch" known as the "Everlasting Flame," containing a fragment of a sleeping, god-like power. Rival witches from the "Tower of the Cranes" want to extract that power – by killing him. Enter Ayaka Kagari. She’s not just a classmate; she’s his assigned “Protector Witch,” a fire-wielding warrior sworn to guard him at all costs.

That’s when the episode’s true colors explode onto the screen.
