Plot

[edit]

Whilst attempting to read her friends' love horoscopes, Chiyoko 'Choco' Kurotori attempts to summon the messenger of love, Cupid. However, due to having a stuffed nose at the time, she mispronounces the name and inadvertently summons a black witch named Gyubid instead. As such, Gyubid decides to train Chiyoko to become a black witch herself, learning various magic spells whilst facing off against various occult mysteries.
