A boy trades pieces of his life for magic tickets to help a witch he just met pass her training. Every wish granted is another day gone, so watching him say yes anyway, over and over, stops being funny and becomes genuinely tragic. The show knows exactly when to pivot from ecchi comedy to the kind of quiet desperation that makes you realize he's actually dying on screen, one wish at a time.
Kota Shibaki receives an unexpected gift: a stack of magical tickets that grant wishes. The source is Rurumo, a witch who has been demoted back to apprentice status. Now she needs to complete training assignments in the human world, and Kota's tickets are her ticket to redemption. The setup seems perfect until Kota learns the brutal cost: every wish he grants burns away pieces of his remaining lifespan. What follows is a constant push and pull between Kota's desire to help and his instinct for self-preservation. Rurumo needs him to keep using those tickets, but how many wishes is his life actually worth? The series mixes comedy, fantasy and ecchi, setting Kota's growing dilemma against Rurumo's efforts to earn back her place as a full witch.
