Nozomi Witches

Nozomi Witches (のぞみ♡ウィッチィズ), sometimes also called Bewitching Nozomi, is a manga series by Toshio Nobe which was adapted into a three episode anime OVA series in 1992. Because Mitsuru Adachi did the character designs for the OVA series, it is sometimes mistakenly attributed as one of his works.

Plot
Nozomi is a beautiful former actress who moves back to Japan from New Zealand. Upon arriving, she meets her fellow high school student neighbor Ryōtarō, and decides he needs to join the high school boxing club.
