What is Flying Witch?
#

Flying Witch is a charming blend of comedy, magic, and slice-of-life storytelling. The story follows 15-year-old Makoto Kowata, a witch who leaves the bustle of Yokohama to live with her second cousin in the lush, verdant landscapes of Aomori in northern Japan. Accompanied by her black cat, Chito, Makoto navigates her new environment with a somewhat aimless but peaceful approach to life.

If you are looking for a relaxing experience, you can watch the anime on Prime Video to see Makoto’s journey unfold.

Is the anime really finished?
#

Whether the story is “finished” depends on where you stop. The Flying Witch anime is an adaptation of the original manga, which began serialization in September 2012. While the anime provides a wonderful introduction to Makoto’s life in Aomori, those who want the complete narrative arc and further development of the characters will likely need to continue with the source material.

To get the full story beyond the screen, we highly recommend you buy the Flying Witch manga.

Who is this anime for?

This series is perfect for viewers who enjoy “iyashikei” (healing) style content. Its appeal lies in its slow pace, beautiful rural settings, and the gentle integration of magic into everyday life. It is best suited for an audience that appreciates:

  • Slice of Life: Low-stress plots focused on daily routines and small discoveries.
  • Light Comedy: Subtle humor derived from Makoto’s fish-out-of-water experience.
  • Atmospheric Settings: The scenic depiction of northern Japan.
