The official portal for the upcoming television adaptation of Kaeru Chouhoukiteki’s dark fantasy light novel Majo to Youhei (Witch and Mercenary) has delivered a major update. The project has locked in an April 2027 broadcast window across thirty NTV affiliates and BS NTV, backed by a striking second teaser visual and the very first promotional video showcasing the production's atmosphere.
Studio 8Bit Tackles High-Stakes Fantasy
Animation production is anchored at studio 8Bit, with Shinpei Ezaki at the helm as director. The creative pipeline features series composition by Daishirou Tanimura, character designs drafted by Keita Matsumoto, and an original score composed by Rei Ishizuka. Fans can also expect a richly detailed world thanks to assistant series composition by Shingo Irie and image boards by pomodorosa.
The main voice cast features Yuri Noguchi stepping into the role of Isana Geihorn, alongside Hiromu Mineta as Alan Clowes, and Haruka Shiraishi rounding out the core dynamic as Eksis Ahmet.
From Web Novel Phenomenon to Screen
Kaeru Chouhoukiteki originally launched the action fantasy narrative on the Shousetsuka ni Narou platform in June 2021 before Micro Magazine picked it up for its GCN Bunko imprint with illustrations by Bench Kanase. The franchise has since expanded across print and digital media, boasting a cumulative 1.7 million copies in circulation alongside a manga adaptation by Makoto Miyagi serialized via Magazine Pocket.
