Witch on the Holy Night follows a trio who live together in an old Western mansion on the outskirts of a Japanese town. Rumor says a witch lives there, and that might not be so far-fetched. Aoko Aozaki studies sorcery in the area under Alice Kuonji’s tutelage.

During the Showa Era, a young man named Soujuurou Sizuki meets them both. He comes from the countryside and slowly adjusts to the new reality of city high school. Eventually, he encounters these two mages under the most unconventional circumstances, sparking a curious set of bonds.
