Cute Manga Champignon Witch Will Have Anime

A press release listed that the manga written and illustrated by Tachibana Higuchi, "Champignon Witch (Champignon no Majo)", will have an anime adaptation. The statement did not reveal production details or a scheduled release date, so we will have to wait for more information soon.

The author commented on this:

• "Thank you all, Champignon Witch will be adapted into anime. This work has faced many difficulties to get here, but thanks to the support and encouragement of so many people, I have been able to continue with it. It's a work that, in many ways, has a deep meaning for me, and with this anime adaptation, I hope I've been able to repay, even a little, the support you've given me so far. This motivates me even more to stay focused and enjoy drawing this story in the future.
• Currently, I'm enthusiastically supervising the production of the anime, but sometimes I feel like my emotions run wild and I end up being a bit intrusive with my suggestions... I know, I may overdo it sometimes. That's why, in my heart, I deeply thank the editorial team and everyone involved in anime, day in and day out! I sincerely hope that this anime will make everyone who watches it happy. May Luna and all the wizards cast powerful spells of happiness and charm on the adaptation of Champignon Witch, so that it becomes a magical work for everyone."

For his part, Tachibana Higuchi began publishing the manga through the digital service Manga Park of the Hakusensha publishing house in October 2019, where it is still in serialization. He previously wrote other works such as "Kageki no Kuni no Alice", "M to N no Shouzou", "Swan Lake", and "Gakuen Alice", with the latter inspiring an anime adaptation in 2004.

Synopsis of Champignon Witch

In the depths of Mirkwood, full of poisonous mushrooms, lives alone a witch named Luna. With skin poisonous to the touch and a breath capable of killing if you get close enough, she is forced to remain isolated from the nearby civilization. Despite these conditions, Luna visits a nearby town to deliver medicine and buy new books to read.

Even though Luna has never harmed any of the city's inhabitants, many are afraid to associate with her, as she is a black witch in a kingdom ruled by white witches. Luna, who can only watch from a distance while people receive their medicine and converse freely with each other, is drawn to their lives, even if it means putting herself in danger at times.
