What is Mahoyo or Witch on the Holy Night about?
If you're reading this, there's a decent possibility that you have been told to purchase Mahoutsukai No Yoru, aka Mahoyo, English title Witch on the Holy Night, when it releases for PS4 and Switch on December 8 (and Jan 27 for physical release in the United States)
But what is it about?
It's about her.
If you're familiar with Tsukihime or its fighting game series, Melty Blood, you might know Aoko as Shiki's beloved sensei, or as that weird chick who goes around in a plain white shirt and jeans and shoots beams out of every limb.
Mahoyo stars a teenage Aoko and her two housemates, Alice and Soujuurou.
That's them right there, above the young Aoko turning her arm into a railgun.
The girl on the right is Alice, a witch, while the guy on the left is Soujuurou, a new student at Aoko's school.
Aoko is a daughter of the Aozaki family of magi, sworn to keep the existence of magecraft a secret while training in the family business. Her housemate Alice is a friend of the family who is well-versed in witchcraft, and the two get along fine.
However, Aoko also goes to a school for ordinary people in the day, and it's there that her problems begin.
Country bumpkin Soujuurou enrolls in Aoko's new school with no idea how the big city works, and eventually, circumstances dictate that the responsibility for him falls on the student council president, Aoko.
Forced to take an ordinary (if pretty odd) person into their home, Aoko and Alice must contend with keeping him away from their magical lives, all while balancing school work, friends, and the occasional talk about boys.
