A new fantasy romance anime titled Hello, I Am a Witch and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion is scheduled to premiere in 2026. The series promises a gentle and emotional story set in a magical world, blending quiet romance with bittersweet moments.
The story follows Rose, a young witch known as the “Witch of the Lake.” For the past four years, she has secretly been in love with a knight named Sir Harij Azm. Despite her deep feelings, Rose keeps her love hidden and continues living a peaceful life near the lake where she resides.
Her quiet routine suddenly changes when Harij finally visits her home. For Rose, this moment feels like a dream come true, as she finally gets the chance to spend time with the person she has admired for years.
However, her happiness quickly turns into heartbreak. Harij reveals the reason for his visit: he wants Rose to create a love potion for him. Hearing this, Rose assumes that the knight must already be in love with someone else.
Even though the request breaks her heart, Rose still wants to spend more time with him. To do that, she tells Harij that the potion requires rare ingredients that are difficult to obtain.
She then sends him on a long journey to collect these ingredients, secretly hoping that the task will keep bringing him back to her.
Day after day, Harij returns with the items he has gathered. Each visit creates small opportunities for the two to talk, share quiet moments, and gradually become closer.
As time passes, their relationship slowly begins to change. What started as a painful misunderstanding gradually evolves into a gentle and heartfelt romance.
With its focus on quiet emotions, unspoken love, and meaningful everyday interactions, the anime is expected to attract fans of fantasy romance when it premieres in 2026.
