About Journal with Witch

Here is what Journal with Witch (違国日記) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama and slice of life anime by Shuka (2026). The setup: Reclusive novelist Makio Koudai has always preferred the company of books—but when her sister and brother-in-law pass away, Makio unexpectedly becomes the guardian of her 15-year-old niece, Asa Takumi. As they navigate grief, clashing personalities, and the challenges of living together, the two slowly open their hearts to each other, discovering warmth, understanding, and the meaning of family.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Makio Koudai (Miyuki Sawashiro) and Asa Takumi (Fuuko Mori) are two of the characters you will meet early.

If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Shuka, which means the visual identity of Journal with Witch follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on drama, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Viewers rate it 8.7/10, which signals strong word of mouth. Voice casting, including Miyuki Sawashiro as Makio Koudai, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2026, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
