The anime
adaptation of the light novel Secrets of the Silent Witch has
shared an exclusive illustration that highlights the student
council of the wizarding academy and its protagonist, Monica Everett, in the
midst of an emotional crisis. This new look reinforces the charming and comedic
tone of the series, which will premiere in Japan on July 4,
while Crunchyroll will include it in its summer 2025 simulcast
catalog for everyone.
Monica
Everett: A Silent Witch in Great Student Chaos
The image
shows the members of the student council posing elegantly around a large
decorated desk, while Monica – the famous "silent witch" – appears in
front totally overwhelmed. This contrast between the formality of the group and
the extreme nervousness of the protagonist gives an idea of the type of humor
expected in the series.
From
light novel to anime: a magical team behind the project
The
original work was written by Matsuri Isora and illustrated
by Nanna Fujimi, published under the Kadokawa Books imprint. In
English, both the novels and the manga — drawn by Tobi Tani —
are distributed by Yen Press.
The anime
is produced by Studio Gokumi. Yasou Iwamoto is
directing the project, while Takaomi Kanasaki oversees as
chief director and responsible for the composition of the series. The character
design is by Cona Nitanda, and the music will be composed by Rina
Tayama.
What is
Secrets of the Silent Witch about?
According
to the official description of Yen Press, Monica Everett is
the only mage in the world capable of using sorcery without enchantments,
famous for having defeated a legendary black dragon alone. However, this
prodigious young woman is extremely shy: she learned to cast spells silently
just to avoid public speaking. Now he has been given a secret mission: to
protect the second shadow prince. Will she manage to face not only the dark
forces that threaten the prince, but also the social panic that paralyzes her?
With a
story that mixes magical action, school comedy and an endearing focus on
personal fears, Secrets of the Silent Witch is shaping up to
be one of the most promising series of the summer.
