LatestWeekend has pushed the button to detonate the bombs she rigged up throughout the town. To save the town and its people, Takamiya makes the decision to summon Evermillion, but that would mean giving up his own life as well as Kagari's...
Takamiya Honoka is a regular student whose only problem seems to be that he sits next to Kagari Ayaka, the school's #1 beauty. They have never spoken to each other before and any small interaction between them immediately results in her fanclub beating him. Yet when a falling part of the school's building is about to send him to the afterlife, it's Kagari that comes to his rescue. Only... she's dressed as a witch, carrying him in her arms and floating on a broom?! Kagari tells him it is her mission to protect him and that now she can finally protect him openly rather than undercover.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga ran for 8 years but the anime only covered the first 4 volumes—explaining that rushed finale.
Pioneered the 'protective female lead' trope that exploded in 2010s anime—Honoka is basically a prototype for modern 'helpless male MC' discourse.
