Classroom Of A Black Cat And A Witch Episode 16 Release Date

The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch episode 16 is set to release on Sunday, July 26, 2026, continuing the magical academy journey of Spica Virgo and her talking black cat mentor. The episode will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll at 7:30 a.m. PT / 10:30 a.m. ET as part of the anime’s 24-episode first season.

The Story So Far

The anime follows Spica Virgo, a young girl who dreams of joining a magical academy but cannot use any magic. Without money or connections, her chances appear small until she meets a mysterious talking black cat.

This black cat is actually a powerful mage who was cursed into feline form. He agrees to teach Spica magic in exchange for her help in breaking his curse. The catch? Breaking the curse requires Spica to kiss the cat’s backside. She does this reluctantly, setting their unusual teacher-student relationship in motion.
