(also known by its shorthand nickname “Hore Majo”) has released the synopsis and preview cuts for Episode 1, “The Witch and the Unrequited Love Potion,” set to premiere on Monday, October 5, 2026.
About the Series
The anime is based on a novel by Mutsuhana Eiko, published under Futabasha’s “M Novels f” label. The story is a bittersweet fantasy romance that begins with heartbreak.

The TV anime is directed by Kusakawa Keizo and produced by animation studio Diomedéa.
Story
Rosé is a witch who lives alone on a small island in the middle of a lake. She has long harbored secret feelings for an elite knight named Hariju — so when he shows up at her door one day, her heart leaps. But his request is not what she hoped for: he wants her to brew a love potion, and it isn’t meant for her.
Faced with this painful reality, Rosé suffers a quiet heartbreak. Yet she cannot bring herself to refuse him. She accepts the task, clinging to the small comfort of being able to stay by his side for however long it takes to complete the potion. Even knowing her feelings can never be returned, she cannot simply let them go. The series follows this awkward, reclusive witch and the earnest, caring knight as an unlikely and bittersweet love story unfolds around a single vial of love potion.
Episode 1 Synopsis — “The Witch and the Unrequited Love Potion”
Hariju, a distinguished elite knight, visits Rosé on her island. When Rosé learns that what he is seeking is a love potion, she is quietly devastated — because Hariju is the very person she has been secretly in love with all along.
