Synopsis
The wife is a witch! But she likes humans and she loves her husband.

Arisa (Ryoko Yonekura) is fascinated by humans. So much so that she leaves the magic world. But the broom she uses is faulty and she winds up in Japan. There she meets Joji Matsui (Taizo Harada) who works at an advertising agency. Joji has been assigned by his boss Ichio Suzuki (Naoto Takenaka) the difficult task of winning over Shiori Nomo (Asami Ishikawa) who is in charge of corporate communications at a client. However a little word from Arisa helps Joji win over Shiori and his agency gets the opportunity to pitch. Arisa and Joji fall in love and marry. Arisa swears never to use magic again as she and Joji begin their strange witch/human married life. However, Arisa's mother, Daria (Mari Natsuki) wants to take Arisa back to her world and uses magic to be a nuisance to the new couple. Arisa has to take care of Joji's boss Suzuki who drops in all the time, the prying eyes of their neighbors (Manami Fuji & Shiro Maggy) and the interference of her witch mother.

The original hit series aired in the U.S. from 1964 and in Japan from 1966. We have taken the best episodes from the original and added a Japanese spin to things like the Arisa and mother-in-law relationship in a complete remake of the series. It is a classy retro fantasy drama for all the family.
