The official website for the television anime of the Tachibana Higuchi's Champignon no Majo (Champignon Witch) manga unveiled the anime's main promotional video, key visual, and another cast member on Wednesday.
Yuki Sakakihara voices the character Lize, whom Luna saves after being stabbed with a cursed knife. However, the knife turns Lize into a young boy with memory loss.
The anime will premiere in January on TBS and other channels.
Haruka Shiraishi will star in the series as protagonist 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 the series scripts. Miki Matsumoto (Angels of Death, Summer Time Rendering) is designing the characters. Typhoon Graphics and Qzil.la are in charge of animation production.
Higuchi launched the manga on Hakusensha's Manga Park app in October 2019. Hakusensha published the sixth compiled book volume in December 2024.
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.
