Description
Takamiya Honoka, is a regular student whose only problem seems to be that he sits next to Kagari Ayaka, the school's #1 beauty. They have never crossed words before, and even a small interaction between them results in her fan club beating him. Yet when a falling part of the school's building is about to send him to the afterlife, it was her that came to his rescue. Except, she was dressed as a witch, using a princess carry to hold him in her arms as she floated on a broom. She continues to protect him using her fire magic until the attempt on his life ends.

She tells him it is her mission to protect him, and that now she can finally protect him openly (she used different means to protect him "undercover"😉.
Why was Takamiya attacked, who asked Kagari to protect him, why does she refer to him as "my princess" and what is her fan club going to do to him now that she will be close to him openly?

Good: Art + designs
Bad: Plot, characterization, comedy, developments, etc.
Poor comedy.
Non-sensical storyline. Which wouldn't be that much of an issue if it was a comedy, but it's not even funny with that in regards.
Bland characterization. No drama, no tension, no stakes. Just looking at some illustrations would be a better use of your time.

I have read it since the start of publication, but because the story is quite convoluted you really should only read the properly translated version. Art is increadibly detailed and character design is unwavering and likeable, though your taste preferecne may differ.

The Manga has a serious problem with bland Main Characters (both boy and girl).
Girl just barges into his life and the boy accepts everything without any reasoning or serious resistance. Both started out and remained one dimensional in their acting.
I don't feel like the MCs are 'alive', without any emotion they just state their texts like a bad actor would.
For example in flashbacks we see the boy caring greatly for his high school brocon sister (often bathing and sleeping together, not going with classmates just to pick her up from school and many other things. When the normal story starts he just pretty much ignores her, showing not the slightest concern.
Side characters are what keeping this entertainable as they show way more emotions. Not like they are not one dimensional as well, but at least they care about what's happening around them.
The humour tries too hard sometimes, like a high school girl doesn't know how babies are made, but generally it is ok. Nothing surprising but, solid.
The flashbacks are way more interesting than the normal story. The first villain already succeeded in dooming the main character very early in the story, making all the following villains meaningless. Doesn't help that we have yet to see a really serious enemy too. Lighthearted and half-assed sums them all up.

she must be collaborated with an author/story maker for example with izuco fujiya (kataribe no list/book of list -grimm's magical items). That person had worked with kodansha once.

It was refreshing and promisingly funny for the first volume. It's a story about a weak guy being protected by a perfect prince-like girl. Yes, "prince-like" as if the male-female gender roles are swapped. The females are the alphas with the beta males. Quite the interesting premise.
However, right now as the series progresses, I have to agree with the other reviewers about the male lead. While I don't mind him being continuously weak and useless, I would at least hope he doesn't do unnecessary things to make his situations worst. The Mary Sue heroine is already doing everything PERFECT for him to live his life as comfortably as possible but this guy just keeps trying to be "nice" but ends up making shit A LOT worst. It's fine to be dependant on someone stronger because you're weak but please stop being a person with decreasing IQ every chapter... All he is, is lip service with a penchant for being autistic. Wait, he is autistic.

First read was really confusing but may be that's because I was reading through really fast. After reading it again it was pretty entertaining and the art is kinda unique. A refreshing read to be honest. Lots of negative comments here but I do not mind any of those. The plot, if any, will unfold eventually.

The premise of Witch Craft Works potentially provides the basis for an interesting story. Unfortunately, the tale swiftly slides into worn tropes, creating a paint by numbers manga for pathetic otaku who can self-insert themselves as the vapid and purposeless male lead, Honoka Takamiya, and dream of their unchallenging and equally flat, but doting, Mary Sue female lead Ayaka Kagari. Still Witch Craft Works has more to offer in little sister, Kasumi, who dreams of incestuous relationship with her big brother Honoka. However the creator never bothers to develop the steadily growing but sexless harem building around Honoka.
On the bright side Witch Craft Works does accomplish its purpose of selling body pillows, mouse pads with silicone breasts, and expanding your selection of waifus.

I compiled the reason that this manga gets negative scores in one comment.
1) the main guy isn't the strongest thing in the universe and i cant handle the woman being stronger.
2) the plot is to slow for my add riddled little mind
3) mary sue
and my answers for each are, there are thousands of other manga that all have the big stupid fight scenes that the plot advances so fast that it will snap your neck if you skip a chapter, and if you want to say mary sue, take a look at almost any other shonen manga and tell me that the main character isn't mary sue bait at the very least.
I like the main fighter isn't a guy, and i also love that we didn't have to watch the stupid "lets take a 4 chapter training break so you can tier up and kick the new badass of the weeks ass"
the main guy isn't a douche and the main girl isnt a bitch... you have any idea how rare that is just outside of all the other combinations?
i love this story, no matter how it will turn out... unless it ntr's at some point.
