==Conception and development==
Manga author [[Miki Yoshikawa]]'s previous work, ''[[Flunk Punk Rumble]]'' ran in [[Kodansha]]'s ''[[Weekly Shōnen Magazine]]'' from 2006-2011, with a total of 211 chapters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mantan-web.jp/2011/05/11/20110510dog00m200057000c.html |script-title=ja:ヤンキー君とメガネちゃん :マンガ連載が最終回へ 成宮寛貴&仲里依紗でドラマ化|publisher=Mantan Web|accessdate= May 14, 2011 |date= May 11, 2011 |language=Japanese}}</ref> Her editor suggested for her next project that she write a one-shot for ''[[Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine]]''. She developed two stories: a prototype story for ''Yamada-kun'' and ''The Demon's Classroom''. The second story was initially chosen, but became difficult to run because the main character was a grade school girl. The prototype ''Yamada'' story eventually became the first chapter for ''Yamada-kun''.<ref name="interview"/>

In the ''[[Natalie (website)|Natalie]]'' interview, Yoshikawa said that she had thought of the [[body swap]]ping idea in the ''Yankee-kun'' days, and had researched some medical books on the differences between men and women, both physically and emotionally, but generally went with it because she liked the idea. "It just kind of came to me, but I was wondering how a guy finding himself in a girl’s body would react, and the reverse".<ref name="interview"/> She treats a body-swapped character as an entirely different character.<ref name="ch72bonus"/> At Anime Expo 2015, she said that she initially thought about gender swapping first but later rejected that as a potential magic power.<ref name="reddit"/>

When it was noted that the main characters for both of her works were delinquents, Yoshikawa replied that those types of characters came easily for her, as she grew up in the lower end of Tokyo. The characters and their names are not based on her friends so that they can act crazy.<ref name="interview"/> At Anime Expo 2015, she said that the characters reflect different aspects of herself. She also said that the ''Yamada-kun'' characters go to a different school from the ones in ''Yankee-kun'' but that they live in adjacent neighborhoods.<ref name="reddit"/>


An eight-episode [[Japanese television drama|television drama]] adaptation was broadcast on [[Fuji TV]] from August to September 2013. A 12-episode [[anime]] television series adaptation by [[Liden Films]] was broadcast from April to June 2015.
With regards to drawing, she tries to vary each kiss, but mostly uses the side angle to make sure it comes through. With regards to kisses between members of the same gender, she replied that wasn't intended to target any specific demographic but just "an inevitable outcome."<ref name="interview">{{cite web|url=http://natalie.mu/comic/pp/yamadakuntomajo |title=コミックナタリー - [Power Push&#93; 「山田くんと7人の魔女」吉河美希インタビュー (1/4) |publisher=Natalie.mu | language = Japanese | date=2013-02-03 |accessdate=2013-10-02 | layurl =http://mahouxscans.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/yoshikawa-interview/ | laysource = Mahouxscans.wordpress.com | laydate = 2013-02-03 }}</ref> At the time of Anime Expo, she said she had five assistants. She does her drawing by hand in black-and-white, and uses the computer for the filling in colors.

{{Main|List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches volumes}}
{{Main|List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters}}
[[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Ryū Yamada|Ryu Yamada]] is known as a delinquent in his high school. He has been bored with his classes after one year of attending school. One day, he accidentally falls from a flight of stairs onto [[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Urara Shiraishi|Urara Shiraishi]], the ace student at the school. Yamada wakes up to find he has swapped bodies with her. The two try to reverse the change and discover kissing triggers the [[body swap]]. On the suggestion of student council vice-president [[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Toranosuke Miyamura|Toranosuke Miyamura]], they revive the Supernatural Studies club. The supernatural-phenomenon-obsessed [[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Miyabi Itou|Miyabi Itou]] soon joins the club. The club encounters other "witches"{{Efn|Both the Japanese term {{nihongo|''majo''|魔女|extra=literally "magical female"}} and the English term ''witch'' are used gender-neutrally.}} with different powers are activated with a kiss on the lips. A transfer student, [[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Kentaro Tsubaki|Kentaro Tsubaki]], becomes a part of the club after nearly causing a fire to the old schoolhouse. Upon discovering the identity of the seventh witch, [[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Rika Saionji|Rika Saionji]], Yamada supposedly has his [[Mindwipe|memories of the witches erased]], but it instead affects the witches and the students involved. While the student council tries to impede his progress, Yamada restores the memories of the witches with a kiss, and gathers the seven witches{{Efn|"Seven witches" does not mean actual and only seven witches, but one ''batch of seven''. There are two known batches, totaling 14 witches.}} for a ceremony where he wishes for the powers to go away. He confesses his love to Urara and they become a couple.


He is recruited to the new student council where he learns he still has his witch copying power, but there are more witches. Although the student council tries to shield each other from the powers while discovering and allying with the witches, they find themselves facing opposition from students controlled by the [[Shogi]] (japanese chess) club, which has male students with new kinds of witch powers. The student council receives a [[vote of no confidence]] and must face a [[recall election]]. In the process of infiltrating the Japanese chess club, Yamada learns of a witch who was connected to his past. He works a deal with childhood friend-turned-rival [[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Ushio Igarashi|Ushio Igarashi]] where he wishes for his memories to return; in exchange, Ushio would take seventh witch [[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Nancy|Nancy]]'s ability. When the Japanese chess club continues to manipulate the campaign, Yamada uses his copied seventh witch power to erase the recent events, but Ushio beats him to the punch and they are both forgotten by the students.
[[#Ryū Yamada|Ryū Yamada]] is known as a delinquent in his high school; he has been bored of classes after one year of attending school. One day, he accidentally falls from a flight of stairs onto [[#Urara Shiraishi|Urara Shiraishi]], the ace student of the school. Yamada wakes up to find that he has [[body swap|swapped bodies]] with her. The two try to reverse the change and discover that kissing triggers the body swap. On the suggestion of student council vice-president [[#Toranosuke Miyamura|Toranosuke Miyamura]], they revive the Supernatural Studies Club. The supernatural-phenomenon-obsessed [[#Miyabi Itō|Miyabi Itō]] soon joins the club. The club encounters other "witches" with different powers that are activated with a kiss. A transfer student, [[#Kentaro Tsubaki|Kentarō Tsubaki]], becomes a part of the club after nearly causing a fire to the old schoolhouse. Upon discovering the identity of the seventh witch, Yamada supposedly has his memories of the witches erased, but it instead affects the witches and the students involved. While the student council tries to impede his progress, Yamada restores the memories of the witches with a kiss, and gathers the seven witches for a ceremony where he wishes for the powers to go away. He confesses his love to Urara and they become a couple.


Yamada returns to the Supernatural Studies club as the school has to deal with new witches following the new school year. He also learns there are gaps in his and his schoolmates' memories of what happened at the end of his first school year, including those of whom he was dating at the time. Yamada then tries to find out the truth of what happened. He ultimately gathers the male witches to hold a ceremony to restore everyone's memories. As he goes through his senior year of high school, he plans to apply to a prestigious university. However, when Urara suddenly disappears from his life along with the witches powers and everyone else's memories of her, Yamada discovers she was the original witch. Urara had agreed to the witch powers in order to have a relationship with Yamada, but on the condition her memories of him to be erased again when she leaves school. However, when she returns at graduation, Yamada finds a way to get her to remember again.
He is recruited to the new student council where he learns that he still has his witch copying power, that the witch powers have been allocated to other girls in the school, and there are multiple groups of witches. Although the student council tries to shield each other from the powers, they find themselves facing opposition from students controlled by the Japanese Chess Club, which has male students with new types of witch powers. The student council receives a vote of no confidence and must face a general election, however, in the process of infiltrating the chess club, Yamada learns of a witch who has connections to his past and a possible link to why he has the power in the first place.


Ten years later, Yamada has become a successful businessman who is looked up to by his coworkers and keeps in touch with his high school friends, but has yet to propose to Urara. The two get married and some years later, share their story with their two children.

====Witches====
The witches are girls at Yamada's high school who have acquired special powers that are reflective of their desires. This power is applied when they kiss someone, with exceptions of other witches, the boys with special powers such as Yamada (who copies the ability) and Tamaki (who can [[Cut, copy, and paste|cut and paste]] the ability), and people who are already under the influence of another witch. Some powers such as body swapping and charming are cancelled out with another kiss. The seventh witch's powers operate differently from the others.{{gnr|ch|73|,|74}} Witch powers can be stolen by certain male witches or allocated to a new witch if he takes a second witch's power while holding the first, as demonstrated with a senior girl and [[#Noa Takigawa|Noa Takigawa]].{{gnr|ch|77}} When the seven witches for a group are gathered in a ceremony, they can fulfill someone's wish, activated by a kiss by the seventh witch.{{gnr|ch|75|,|157}}

|ShortSummary = Yamada and the club try to gather the seven witch girls in order to conduct the ritual that will grant them a wish. At first, only half of the girls agree to do it, but the others eventually join. During the actual ritual, Saionji feels chilly and wishes for panties, but that becomes the final wish, and that they won't have another chance until the next year. They come up with an idea: Yamada can get the witch killing power by kissing the president, and cancel all the powers. However when he kisses Saionji, he will forget everything concerning the witches. He decides to do it anyway. Shiraishi feels sad that he does not remember but realizes she loves him so she confesses to him. He ignores her but she follows him and they fall down the stairs. Yamada begins to remember and finds Shiraishi and they kiss.

During the actual ritual, Saionji feels chilly and wishes for panties, but that becomes the final wish, and that they won't have another chance until the next year. They come up with an idea: Yamada can get the witch killing power by kissing the president, and cancel all the powers. However when he kisses Saionji, he will forget everything concerning the witches. He decides to do it anyway. Shiraishi feels sad that he does not remember but realizes she loves him so she confesses to him. He ignores her but she follows him and they fall down the stairs. Yamada begins to remember and finds Shiraishi and they kiss.

Yamada and his friends have to bring all seven witches together to perform the witch ritual. There are three people left, Urara, [[List of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches characters#Mikoto Asuka|Mikoto Asuka]], and Rika. Yamada, who wants to save Urara anyway, tries to go to Mikoto's house with Miyamura, the club president, but is stopped by his sister Leona Miyamura. Leona tells Yamada, who is impatient about the situation, that he should persuade Rika first, rather than Urara. Rika offers a trade-off to bring Leona to school instead of attending the ritual. Leona reminisces she was a member of the Supernatural Studies Club with Haruma Yamazaki, and while exploring the legend of the witch, Yamazaki's memory was erased. Leona then fled from Suzaku High School and Rika plans to still run away from her.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yamajo-anime.com/story/12|title=Yamada and the Seven Witches anime Story 12|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190922055255/http://www.yamajo-anime.com/story/12|archive-date=22 September 2019|language=ja|access-date=16 October 2021}}</ref>

Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches (Japanese: 山田くんと7人の魔女, Hepburn: Yamada-kun to Nananin no Majo)[a] is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Miki Yoshikawa. It was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from February 2012 to February 2017, with its chapters collected in 28 tankōbon volumes. The series was published digitally in English by Crunchyroll starting in 2013 and was licensed in North America by Kodansha USA in 2015.

An eight-episode television drama adaptation was broadcast on Fuji TV from August to September 2013. A 12-episode anime television series adaptation by Liden Films was broadcast from April to June 2015.

Plot[edit]

Ryu Yamada is known as a delinquent in his high school. He has been bored with his classes after one year of attending school. One day, he accidentally falls from a flight of stairs onto Urara Shiraishi, the ace student at the school. Yamada wakes up to find he has swapped bodies with her. The two try to reverse the change and discover kissing triggers the body swap. On the suggestion of student council vice-president Toranosuke Miyamura, they revive the Supernatural Studies club. The supernatural-phenomenon-obsessed Miyabi Itou soon joins the club. The club encounters other "witches"[b] with different powers are activated with a kiss on the lips. A transfer student, Kentaro Tsubaki, becomes a part of the club after nearly causing a fire to the old schoolhouse. Upon discovering the identity of the seventh witch, Rika Saionji, Yamada supposedly has his memories of the witches erased, but it instead affects the witches and the students involved. While the student council tries to impede his progress, Yamada restores the memories of the witches with a kiss, and gathers the seven witches[c] for a ceremony where he wishes for the powers to go away. He confesses his love to Urara and they become a couple.

He is recruited to the new student council where he learns he still has his witch copying power, but there are more witches. Although the student council tries to shield each other from the powers while discovering and allying with the witches, they find themselves facing opposition from students controlled by the Shogi (japanese chess) club, which has male students with new kinds of witch powers. The student council receives a vote of no confidence and must face a recall election. In the process of infiltrating the Japanese chess club, Yamada learns of a witch who was connected to his past. He works a deal with childhood friend-turned-rival Ushio Igarashi where he wishes for his memories to return; in exchange, Ushio would take seventh witch Nancy's ability. When the Japanese chess club continues to manipulate the campaign, Yamada uses his copied seventh witch power to erase the recent events, but Ushio beats him to the punch and they are both forgotten by the students.

Yamada returns to the Supernatural Studies club as the school has to deal with new witches following the new school year. He also learns there are gaps in his and his schoolmates' memories of what happened at the end of his first school year, including those of whom he was dating at the time. Yamada then tries to find out the truth of what happened. He ultimately gathers the male witches to hold a ceremony to restore everyone's memories. As he goes through his senior year of high school, he plans to apply to a prestigious university. However, when Urara suddenly disappears from his life along with the witches powers and everyone else's memories of her, Yamada discovers she was the original witch. Urara had agreed to the witch powers in order to have a relationship with Yamada, but on the condition her memories of him to be erased again when she leaves school. However, when she returns at graduation, Yamada finds a way to get her to remember again.

Ten years later, Yamada has become a successful businessman who is looked up to by his coworkers and keeps in touch with his high school friends, but has yet to propose to Urara. The two get married and some years later, share their story with their two children.

Production[edit]

Manga author Miki Yoshikawa's previous work, Flunk Punk Rumble (Yankee-kun to Megane-chan) ran in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine from 2006–2011, with a total of 211 chapters.[5] Her editor suggested for her next project that she write a one-shot for Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine. She developed two stories: a prototype story for Yamada-kun and The Demon's Classroom. The second story was initially chosen, but became difficult to run because the main character was a grade school girl. The prototype Yamada story eventually became the first chapter for Yamada-kun.[6]

In the Natalie interview, Yoshikawa said that she had thought of the body swapping idea in the Yankee-kun days, and had researched some medical books on the differences between men and women, both physically and emotionally, but generally went with it because she liked the idea. "It just kind of came to me, but I was wondering how a guy finding himself in a girl's body would react, and the reverse".[6] She treats a body-swapped character as an entirely different character.[7] At Anime Expo 2015, she said that she initially thought about gender swapping first but later rejected that as a potential magic power.[8]

When it was noted that the main characters for both of her works were delinquents, Yoshikawa replied that those types of characters came easily for her, as she grew up in the lower end of Tokyo. The characters and their names are not based on her friends so that they can act crazy.[6] At Anime Expo 2015, she said that the characters reflect different aspects of herself. She also said that the Yamada-kun characters go to a different school from the ones in Yankee-kun but that they live in adjacent neighborhoods.[8]

With regards to drawing, she tries to vary each kiss, but mostly uses the side angle to make sure it comes through. With regards to kisses between members of the same gender, she replied that wasn't intended to target any specific demographic but just "an inevitable outcome."[6] At the time of Anime Expo, she said she had five assistants. She does her drawing by hand in black-and-white, and uses the computer for the filling in colors. She spends about half of her time on story, and the other half on actual drawing.[8]

Media[edit]

Manga[edit]

Written and illustrated by Miki Yoshikawa, Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from February 22, 2012,[9] to February 22, 2017, after running for exactly 5 years.[10][11][12] Kodansha collected its chapters in 28 tankōbon volumes, released from June 15, 2012,[13] to April 17, 2017.[14]

On October 26, 2013, Crunchyroll announced a partnership with Kodansha where it would distribute chapters digitally to 170 countries using a new service called Crunchyroll Manga. This includes an English translated version.[15] The series is licensed for a North American release by Kodansha USA, who began releasing the series in 2015.[16] In July 2015, Yoshikawa attended Anime Expo as a guest of honor where she promoted her series.[17][18]

Television drama[edit]

A live-action drama began airing on August 10, 2013 on Saturdays on Fuji TV at 11:10pm.[19] It stars Yusuke Yamamoto as the title character Ryū Yamada, and Mariya Nishiuchi as Urara Shiraishi.[20] Its theme song is "Time Machine Nante Iranai" by former AKB48 headliner Atsuko Maeda. She described the song as "cheerful and fun" and hopes it will liven up the show.[21][22] Sponsors include Samsung, which included the show's characters in their related commercials broadcast at the time.

They come up with an idea: Yamada can get the witch killing power by kissing the president, and cancel all the powers. However when he kisses Saionji, he will forget everything concerning the witches. He decides to do it anyway. Shiraishi feels sad that he does not remember but realizes she loves him so she confesses to him. He ignores her but she follows him and they fall down the stairs.
