A kid who doesn't want to be a hero and a girl who can barely cast magic somehow become the most functional team in the whole story. The comedy comes from watching them solve problems despite themselves, not because of some secret power hidden inside them. By the time you realize the show is about two people who were supposed to fail becoming exactly what they needed to be, you've already spent forty-five episodes rooting for the underdog spell and the reluctant sword.

In the village of Jimuna on the continent of Jamu Jamu lives Kukuri, the last descendant of the Migu Migu Tribe. An old witch raises her and teaches her the tribe's secret magic, but Kukuri is a poor student. Nike, a boy from the same village, has strict parents who train him to become its brave hero. He has no wish to be one, yet he grows up strong. When King Kodai gathers troops to fight Giri, the ruler of darkness, both children are accepted. Together, the reluctant hero and the eager but unskilled young witch set off on a comedic fantasy journey of adventure and friendship.
