A first teaser visual has been released for the upcoming anime adaptation of the light novel series "Doumo, Suki na Hito ni Horegusuri wo Irai sareta Majo desu." (English: "Hello, I am a Witch and my Crush Wants me to Make a Love Potion!"). The series, scheduled to air in 2026, tells the story of the sea witch Rose and her secret love for the knight Harij.
The new key visual shows a scene at a boat dock: Knight Harij, in the process of boarding a small boat, pauses and turns back once more to look at Rose. The moment captures a fleeting, meaningful facial expression.
The story begins when the knight Harij asks the reclusive witch Rose, whom he is secretly in love with, to brew a love potion. The plot follows the relationship that develops between them. vient, who is responsible for the character designs of the original novels, expressed excitement about the adaptation: "I sincerely congratulate everyone on the anime adaptation of 'Horemajo'! Even before working as an illustrator, I was a fan of author Mutsuhana and a reader of the novels, and while reading, I imagined many scenes—what Rose and Harij might look like, what their home looks like, or how their conversations unfold there. It is a great honor that I was able to officially put these images from my mind onto paper. After the manga adaptation by Kamada, which made the world and the interactions between the two even more tangible, I am now incredibly excited for the anime. I am already very much looking forward to seeing their agonizingly slow approach now as moving images!"
At this year's AnimeJapan, taking place from March 28th to 29th at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center, large postcards for the series will be distributed at the Kadokawa booth.
