An advance promotional video for the television Yowamushi Pedal) began streaming on Thursday. The video lists some new cast .
Shibaki: It is the love story of Rurumo, an apprentice witch who came from the demon world, and a good-looking high school guy.
Rurumo: Whose fault was it for me being demoted to apprentice witch?
Rurumo: This is the story of Rurumo, who is trying to be promoted back to being a witch.
Chiro: Magimoji Rurumo will start in July.
Chiro: I think that I'm getting a little bit excited.
The "magical slapstick comedy" begins with Kōta Shibaki (the #1 pervert of his school) and some magical tickets that suddenly arrive for him. Rurumo, an apprentice witch who was demoted from a full witch, is training with these tickets in the human world. Shibaki can use these tickets to grant wishes that Rurumo must perform as part of her training. The catch is that each used ticket shortens Shibaki's life.

Wataru Watanabe launched the manga in Monthly Shōnen Sirius in 2007, before he started the bicyling manga Yowamushi Pedal. The first seven-volume Magimoji Rurumo series ended in 2011, and Watanabe then serialized the four-volume Magimoji Rurumo: Makai-hen (Magimoji Rurumo: Magic World) series from 2011 to 2013 in the same magazine. The latest series, Magimoji Rurumo: Hōkago no Mahō Chugakusei (Magimoji Rurumo: Afterschool Magic Middle School Student), debuted in Monthly Shōnen Sirius last June. Like Magimoji Rurumo, Watanabe's Yowapeda manga inspired an ongoing television anime.
