posted on by Adriana Hazra
The staff of the television anime adaptation of the Tachibana Higuchi's Champignon no Majo (Champignon Witch) manga revealed in its first trailer on Friday the anime's main cast member, staff, and January 2026 premiere date.
The trailer reveals Haruka Shiraishi will star as Luna.
Yōsuke Kubo (Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start With Magical Tools, Maarui Kanojo to Zannen na Kareshi) is directing the anime. Yūko Kakihara (Blue Box, Buddy Daddies, School Babysitters) is in charge of series composition. Miki Matsumoto (Angels of Death, Summer Time Rendering) is designing the characters. Typhoon Graphics and Qzil.la are in charge of animation production.
The staff also revealed a teaser visual.
The magic fantasy manga centers on Luna, a witch who lives in the black forest, and is feared by others. She is called the Champignon Witch because anywhere she walks, talks, and touches ends up growing poisonous mushrooms. The story follows the first love of this woman who has previously not known the warmth of another person.
Higuchi launched the manga on Hakusensha's Manga Park app in October 2019. Hakusensha published the sixth volume in December 2025.
Higuchi ended her long-running Gakuen Alice manga in The Hana to Yume in 2013. Tokyopop published 16 volumes of the manga before the company shut down in 2011. The company also published four volumes of Higuchi's earlier Portrait of M & N manga.
Gakuen Alice inspired a 26-episode television anime series in 2004-2005. Right Stuf released the series on DVD in North America.
