The first manga series was serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Shōnen Sirius magazine from October 2007 to 2011. A second and third manga have been serialized, from 2011 to 2013, and from 2013 to 2019, respectively. An anime television series adaptation produced by J.C.Staff aired from July[2] to September 2014. Crunchyroll streamed the series.

Plot

Shibaki is a high-school boy whose only interest is girls. Except he's been branded as the most perverted boy at school and girls avoid him like the plague. One day he finds a book in the library about how to summon witches. He tries it as a joke, but it turns out to be the real thing.

Characters

Kōta Shibaki (柴木耕太)

[3]

A high school student. Because of his various perverted actions in the past, which earned him the title "Pervert Shibaki" (ヘンタイシバキ), every girl alienates him, leading to an empty school life. He is part of his school's resident Mysterious Discovery (不思議発見クラブ) Club, but he's not interested in the occult.

Rurumo (るるも)

[3]

A witch who made a contract with Shibaki. Her full name is Rurumo Magi Mojiruka (マジ＝モジルカ・ルルモ). When Shibaki uses the tickets given to him, she can use magic to grant his wishes. On the outside, she looks like a normal middle school girl, and people usually assume she's a cosplayer, due to her clothes. She is expressionless and reticent to the extreme, but is by nature more shy than others, also being very clumsy and oblivious. After defying various rules, she was made to spend 60 years in prison.

Chiro (チロ)

[3]

She's Rurumo's magical familiar, a purple-furred cat. Chiro is the one that informs Shibaki that once he uses up all 666 tickets that Rurumo gave him, he will die. She is able to transform into a human girl at will, in which form she becomes a tan-skinned teenage girl. She used to be a stray cat, who tried selling magic wands for a living, but Rurumo offered her to become her familiar, for which she's very thankful.

Shibaki's Mother (柴木の母)

Shibaki's mother, whom he fears very much due to her violent tendencies, whereby she would, at times, threaten him with a knife, especially when she thinks he might be doing something illegal, such as abducting minors. It is hinted that she has a reverse form of Oedipus complex towards Shibaki.

Seitarō Shibaki (柴木誠太郎)

Shibaki's little brother, who is deeply frightened by his mother's violent tendencies.

Senior (先輩)

The stern, straightforward president of the Mysterious Discovery Club, composed of himself, Shibaki, Mameo Fukusuke, and Hiro Tokoda. His real name is unknown. He expresses interest in Rurumo, and he often tries asking her to join the club. He is obsessed with the occult, often mistaking normal objects for UFOs. He frequently drags Shibaki, who he calls "Shibaraku" (しばらく), into his schemes.

Tanako Kujirai (鯨井棚子)

Rurumo's self-proclaimed rival. She joins the Mysterious Discovery Club, mainly due to having a crush on Senior. She claims to be a wizard, trying to impress Senior (who likewise ignores her advances), yet she fails to support her claim. She expresses very little interest in Shibaki, despite his attempts to impress her.

Mameo Fukusuke (福助豆男)

A member of the Mysterious Discovery Club. A short and squat boy, who is frequently seen eating dumplings.

Hiro Tokoda (床田広)

Another member of the Mysterious Discovery Club. Tall and thin.

Sumiko Inoue (井上澄子)

[3]

The head of the school's "Disciplinary Committee," who has an uptight personality. She takes her duty of enforcing the school rules very seriously, together with Kyouko and Shimomura. She and Shibaki are childhood friends, as their families are old friends, and has been going to the same school as him since Kindergarten. It is hinted that despite her usual attitude, she wants to be victimized by Shibaki's perversion. She also seems to have a weakness for cute things.

Masako Shimomura (下村雅子)

She is a member of the school's "Disciplinary Committee", where she serves as Inoue's secretary. She is an otaku who is into cosplay, which she keeps as a closely guarded secret. She befriends Rurumo, who she believes to be a cosplayer, and introduces her to the world of cosplaying and anime.

Kyōko Izumi (泉強子)

She is a member of the school's "Disciplinary Committee," along with Inoue and Shimomura. She serves as an enforcer, physically punishing anyone found guilty of violating the school rules and public morals. She does not speak very often, and is much stronger than she appears to be. She appears to have a crush on Sakurai, who noted her to be a gentle person.

Maaya Sawashita (沢下真綾)

A popular student, and the main victim of Shibaki's perversion. Despite his lecherous behavior, Sawashita does not seem to antagonize him like the other girls do. She seems to be good friends with Tanako.

Hiroshi Nishino (西野宏司)

A friend of Shibaki's, and also one of his "clients."

Hajime Suguwara (菅原始)

Another of Shibaki's friends and "clients", who seems to like picking on Nishino. He often tries to impress Rurumo, but is usually ignored.

Tomoha Sakurai (桜井知葉)

Another of Shibaki's classmates and "clients," who is popular with the girls.

Harulily Walura (ワルラハルリリ)

A stern high-tier witch. At first, she seems to be mean-spirited and abrasive, but is shown to have a softer side. She admires Rurumo, and is somewhat bothered by her unexpressiveness.

Ruri Iida (飯田瑠璃)

A childish yet strict state enforcer. She provides directions for Rurumo in episode 5, but Rurumo is unable to remember her assistance. She often fends off Shibaki's attempts to approach schoolgirls, as well as Iida herself, although she likes playing with him.
