Witch Watch Chapter 215: Release date and what to expect

Kenta Shinohara’s Witch Watch has built its reputation on being one of the most unpredictable yet heartfelt romcom series in Weekly Shonen Jump. Chapter 214 was a perfect example of this balance, delivering outrageous humor while hinting at deeper character dynamics, especially with Nico gone and the boys of the Otogi household descending into the chaos of bachelor living.

With readers still laughing (and blushing) at the bizarre “Devilman Sabbath” gag that closed the chapter, anticipation for Witch Watch Chapter 215 is sky-high. According to the sources, Witch Watch Chapter 215 is scheduled for release on Sunday, August 31, 2025, at 12:00 am JST, according to Shueisha’s Manga Plus and Viz Media platforms.

For international fans, here are the expected release times across major time zones, Pacific Time (PT): 8:00 am, August 31; Central Time (CT): 10:00 am, August 31; Eastern Time (ET): 11:00 am, August 31; British Summer Time (BST): 4:00 pm, August 31; and India Standard Time (IST): 8:30 pm, August 31.

Chapter 214 recap

Chapter 214, aptly titled A Bachelor Pad Smells of Trouble, showcased what happens when the heart of the Otogi household, Nico, steps away, leaving the boys to fend for themselves.

Without her presence, the group’s descent into messy, lazy living was both hilarious and concerning. The quality of meals dropped, laundry piled up, and Morihito himself seemed stuck in a daze, unable to function properly without Nico’s quiet but undeniable influence.

What started as minor chaos escalated into a full-blown bachelor disaster, complete with boxed food diets and half-hearted cleaning attempts. However, as always with Witch Watch, the real chaos didn’t come from just messy rooms; it came from magic.

When Miharu experimented with Nico’s mother’s enchanted aroma oils, things spiraled rapidly. The atmosphere turned the boys hyper, affectionate, and oddly suggestive, triggering one of the most absurdly over-the-top bonding sequences the manga has ever delivered.

The crescendo? A full-on parody of a Go Nagai-style “witch sabbath” ritual, blending BL-tinged fanservice with surreal comedy. It also raised important narrative questions about Nico’s absence, Morihito’s emotional state, and how long this bachelor chaos can really last.

What to expect in Witch Watch Chapter 215

Chapter 215 may open by exploring the fallout of this disaster. Will neighbors, classmates, or even local authorities raise suspicions about the Otogi household? Miharu has always been the chaotic second-in-command of the house, but Chapter 214 positioned him as the one trying to rally the boys into action. Even if his methods (like using magic oils) backfired, it showed he cares about maintaining balance.

Chapter 215 might continue this thread, with Miharu attempting new (and equally disastrous) ways to keep the household functional. From misguided cleaning sprees to accidentally summoning magical side effects, his attempts could keep the comedy rolling while reinforcing his role as the group’s “glue” when Nico is gone.

Although she wasn’t present in Chapter 214, Nico remains the central axis of the story. Chapter 215 may finally cut to her side of things, showing how her retraining journey is going. Since her mother gifted the boys the enchanted aroma oils, there is room for more magical mischief and hints about Nico’s growing powers.

One of the standout moments of Chapter 214 was its bold parody of Devilman’s infamous Sabbath imagery. Fans loved the unexpected shift in art style and tone, proving that Shinohara isn’t afraid to break genre boundaries for laughs.

Given that Witch Watch thrives on parody, Chapter 215 may pull another cultural or manga reference.

Looking ahead: Could Nico’s absence become a turning point?

The biggest narrative takeaway from the last few chapters in Witch Watch is the spotlight on Nico’s absence. While the comedy has been front and center, the underlying story arc is about how her presence, or lack of it, shapes everything around her.

Morihito’s slump shows how significant she is to his motivation. Miharu’s attempts at leadership reveal how much he relies on her stability. Even Keigo and Kanshi, usually sidelined in household matters, are clearly affected by the imbalance.

For now, fans can only speculate about how the Otogi household will recover from its disastrous “Christmas sabbath” and whether Morihito will take his first real steps in recognizing just how much Nico means to him.

No matter what, Witch Watch Chapter 215 promises to be another must-read entry in a series that thrives on keeping readers laughing, guessing, and, occasionally, swooning.
