Journal with Witch

Journal with Witch is a modern slice-of-life drama anime produced by Shuka, blending everyday warmth with deeply felt emotional storytelling in the shoujo tradition. Based on the manga by Yamashita Tomoko, the series is directed by Miyuki Oshiro with series composition by Kohei Kiyasu, bringing a distinctly heartfelt sensibility to the screen. The story centers on Makio Koudai and Asa Takumi, drawing viewers into an intimate portrait of contemporary life.

Journal with Witch follows two vastly different people brought together by unexpected circumstances, forced to redefine what it means to belong to one another. Makio Koudai is a fiercely introverted novelist who has built her life around solitude and storytelling, keeping the outside world firmly at arm's length. Everything changes when she finds herself becoming the legal guardian of her 15-year-old niece, Asa Takumi. Thrust into an unfamiliar domestic life, Makio and Asa must somehow coexist despite their clashing temperaments and the weight of shared grief neither knows how to express. Living under the same roof, two people who feel like strangers must navigate the awkward silences, small conflicts, and quiet moments that gradually shape an unexpected bond. Journal with Witch is a heartfelt story about loss, the difficulty of opening up, and the unlikely ways people find comfort in each other.
