The Secrets of the Silent Witch TV anime has received a second trailer, key visual, and a July 4 JST (effectively July 5 at 12 AM JST) premiere date.
It was also revealed that Hitsujibungaku is performing both the opening and ending themes, with the latter (which features in the new trailer) being titled “mild days.” Additionally, Hina Suguta and Shunichi Toki are joining the cast as Casey Grove and an unnamed “mysterious man,” respectively.
Secrets of the Silent Witch is based on the KADOKAWA BOOKS light novels written by Matsuri Isora and illustrated by Nanna Fujimi. The series began in June 2021 and has nine main volumes as of February 2025. Yen Press describes the plot as:
Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, is the only mage in the world who can use unchanted magecraft, a true hero who singlehandedly defeated a legendary black dragon. However, this young genius is actually…super-duper shy! That’s right: She learned to cast spells silently just to avoid speaking in public, and despite her power, she has zero self-confidence. Now Monica has been tasked with secretly guarding the second prince. Can she keep it together as she faces both the evil forces targeting the prince and the terrors of social interaction?
The story started as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel in February 2020. There is a manga by Tobi Tana.
